    He has proven His love. He longs to be one with us. He is waiting for us to come to Him and embrace Him wholeheartedly.

    Atonement Much ink has been spilled through the centuries concerning the atonement-the At-One-ment accomplished through the blood of Jesus. The theology goes basically like this: God is HOLY. That means unholiness doesn’t fit in His presence, not even necessarily because He hates unholiness, but ...read more

    His yoke is easy, His burden is light. For to long, too many people have made it out to be, that serving God, is a burden. Serving God is anything but that, its an adventure, a great adventure, serving God is the time of your life, if you will let it be.

    Serving God, "The Great Adventure" You know, it seems like unrest is the thing that we see the most, in the world today.

    Return To God With All Your Heart Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 14, 2020
     | 7,250 views

    We see the longing of God's heart for His people to return to Him. They were not bringing in the tithes and offerings because their hearts have strayed from God. It is a problem of the heart.

    Let’s recap last week message. God will judge. He is the righteous and just God. • Delayed judgement does not mean He is unjust. God is being patient and merciful, not wanting anyone to perish under His judgement (cf. 2 Pet 3:9). • He will come as a refiner’s fire, not to burn and destroy His ...read more

    Long ago C. H. Spurgeon said that the study of God would improve, humble, and expand the mind - a thesis we will test with an examination of 1 Tim 6:13-16.

    “Who Alone Is Immortal” What better way to begin my sermon than by reading from a really good one! Here is a bit of one delivered on Jan. 7, 1855: “It has been said by someone that ‘the proper study of mankind is man.’. . . but I believe it is equally true that the proper study of God’s elect is ...read more
