    Examining what is God’s purpose for the Jewish nation

    What about the Jews? (Rom 11) When re read the bible, we often see it as two sections. After all, we have divided it up as such – Old Testament and New Testament. The Old Testament is all about the Jews and the New Testament about Christ and another group of people called the Gentiles. We ...read more

    Many disbelieve that He is not only NOT coming, but that He is but a myth. Look closely at the proofs He has given us.

    Matthew 24:25-31 INTRODUCTION We have discussed the PROOFS that God has presented to mankind often times as a warning of thngs to come, but not always. Remember that God gave us a sign that He called the Rainbow and it was not a warning but instead it was a promise...something that would provide ...read more

    Jericho shows us this: when God says “I have given…,” faith stops engineering outcomes and starts obeying. Trust His plan, keep Him central, persevere, and watch His mercy and power level walls.

    Jericho Jericho wasn't just any city. It was a fortress. Here’s what it looks like today. But Archaeological evidence shows it had a double wall system. The outer wall was about 6 feet thick and 20 feet high. Behind that was a 12-15 foot high embankment with another wall on top, reaching ...read more

    The Lord’s Prayer was not given to be just be recited as a ritual. It is actually given to us as the Lord’s blueprint for prayer that is acceptable to God.

    A Study of the Book of Luke Sermon # 28 “Lord Teach Us to Pray” Luke 11:1-4 Almost all of our prayers begin by rushing into a series of request in which we pour out to God our problems, our needs, our irritations. This only tends ...read more

    "Our Identity In Christ (I): We Are Humans, Created In God’s Image”

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021
     | 11,724 views

    Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the first sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

    Last week we learned from Romans 12:3 the importance of having a correct understanding of ourselves. Otherwise, we can become arrogant, feel that we are great, smart, strong, and right, when in fact it is not. Or conversely, we can become inferior, not realizing the gifts and abilities that God has ...read more

    True peace and purpose come from wholeheartedly loving God, loving others sincerely, and recognizing Jesus as both Savior and Lord in every part of life.

    Some of us walked in today with a spring in our step; others dragged in with weights we can’t quite name. Bills on the counter. Questions in the heart. News alerts that make us sigh. And right in the middle of it all, God meets us—not with a scowl, but with a smile; not with a list of hoops, but ...read more

     | 23,403 views

    In order to understand what is acceptable worship we need to understand the purpose of worship, what is not acceptable worship, and what constitutes acceptable worship.

    Acceptable Worship John 4:20-24 Confusion and controversy surround the topic of what is acceptable worship. For many how we worship is not a critical matter. They feel that how one worships is a personal matter and that the individual determines what is appropriate or not. In Christ’s ...read more
