The Missions Psalm Series

Contributed by B. D. B Moses on Mar 19, 2002

Here in Psalm 67 we find the purpose of God’s blessing. This purpose, for all the peoples to know salvation, is what makes Psalm 67 one of the foundational scriptures as the Biblical basis of Missions. Psalm 67 is a glorious Missions song.

This is because our Pastor would repeat this scripture as the benediction, at the close of every service. I knew, as ...read more

Can These Dry Bones Live?

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Sep 30, 2023

All of us at some point and time have been in a season of drought. Everywhere we look, all we see is what used to be alive but is now dead. And for some of us, we're glad it's dead. But for the rest of us, we are still mourning what has been lost to us.

What Are You Missing?

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 20, 2018

Today I want to look at an encounter between Jesus and a “Rich Young Ruler”. Kind of like Jesus meets Mark Zuckerberg. The rich seem to have everything yet this very, very rich young man knew he was missing something. What are you missing?

What one thing do you lack? Mark 10:17-34 The Rich Young Ruler We are now just four weeks away from Easter Sunday 2018. Easter happens to be on April 1st, April Fool’s Day.

Grace Under Fire

Contributed by Eric Ledermann on Jul 23, 2002

In conversations with people there is one thing I hear too often, and that is: “Boy, the Church sure is in a sad state these days.” When I read the scriptures I sense that I am truly reading about God’s grace. Grace is God’s gift to us. Grace is, then,

Jesus Loves Everyone

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 23, 2016

Have you ever noticed that when children play games, some children are always the last to be chosen? How do you think Jesus feels when he sees that happening? I think he feels very sad, because he loves everyone and he wants us to love everyone.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022

It’s sad Christians live deficient lives when God has supplied all that's needed. Some say they have no direction; don't feel like partaking of spiritual things; careless about their walk. The problem often is the neglect of Godly resources - the word of God, prayer, and fellowship.
