    The Lord is patient toward us but still expects repentance. Throughout the years He has shown exceptional patience but one day that patience will run out, and where will you be?

    When God Opens Hearts, And Opposition Comes Series

     | 6,386 views

    God directed Paul to Philippi to preach the gospel. Acts 16 reveals both the open hearted reception and the opposition he faced. We should expect the same when we share Christ today.

    When God opens hearts he comes into them to dwell. Acts 16 gives us the history of how the gospel was planted in Philippi, how God opened their hearts to hear and obey the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This lesson continues our introduction to the letter of Philippians. Let's read ...read more

    What happens when God prays?

    THE PRAYER’S OF GOD - The spiritual discipline of listening in prayer Prayer is not a one way conversation. Yet, almost without exception we think of prayer as a human activity directed towards God. But prayer is also a divine activity directed towards humanity? Does God pray to us? It sounds ...read more

    Matthew 8:28-34-When He had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of ...read more

    God doesn’t merely want to meet our expectations, God wants to raise our standards.

    The Gold Standard I want to apologize if what I’m about to share is repetitious. I think my opening illustration was shared with me by our friend and Chairman of Deacons, Robert Johnson, a few months ago, but I’m not positive. Anyway, in 1900, a company called the Detroit Automobile Company ...read more

    Advent - The Realization Christmas is the happiest time of year, right? During the coming week, most of us will join with family and friends in celebration.

    God is no respecter of persons, and he expects no less for his church!

    The Problem with Partiality James 2:1-13 Are you a fair-minded individual? Do you oppose discrimination? Chances are that most of us alive today would describe ourselves as impartial and fair in most senses. But are we really as fair as we like to think?

    God has some expectations for His children and His creation.

    The Desire of the Father James 1:16-18 * Parents want the best for their children. In the 21st century American culture, parents go beyond the call to make sure that their kids have ‘all the things that I didn’t have.’ Candidly, this is done with the best of intentions but ‘too much too soon’ ...read more

    Finding God's hope in places you wouldn't expect.

    LIVING HOPE 1 Peter 1 My son asked, “If Sea World really loves animals, then why do they keep them captive?” What a deep question. Maybe you can relate. If someone loves you, then why are you still held captive? If people in your world love you when why do they keep you captive? ...read more

    Why Are We To Teach Our Children To Obey God?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Sep 27, 2023
     | 586 views

    To enable every age to learn how to obey God and to set their expectations in him, God directed that his laws and acts be instructed to children and that they ought to be passed from age to age.

    Monotheism is the faith in only one God. It was an unmistakable component of the Hebrew religion. Numerous old religions trusted in a large number of divine beings. However, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the God of the entire earth, the only genuine God. This was a significant knowledge ...read more

    The Kind Of Person God Protects Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 17, 2021
     | 6,275 views

    Many of the promises of God's protection or provision in the Bible are actually conditional. They absolutely don't apply to anybody and everybody. Jesus shows us in John 6 exactly what kind of people can expect His protection and provision, and what kind of people can't.

    Psalm 91 has always, from very early in my Christian life, been one of my favorite Psalms, because it speaks so beautifully and certainly of the Lord’s protection. I mean, just listen to it—it’s makes for beautiful poetry as well as for comforting thoughts—“He who dwells in the shelter of the ...read more
