    Persecution Can Be Good

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 30, 2021
     | 1,910 views

    We grow soft and cold without it. Sometimes it takes the fire of persecution for us to seek the fire of God.

    1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore let them that ...read more

    WE TEND TO LOOK AT CANCER – AS THIS HUGE, INSURMOUNTABLE MONSTER (AND IN SOME WAYS…) THAT’S VERY TRUE!

    I’D LIKE TO START OFF THIS SERVICE BY FIRST ACKNOWLEDGING THAT: A LOSS, IS THE DISAPPEARANCE OF SOMETHING CHERISHED! BEREAVEMENT, IS THE STATE OF BEING DEPRIVED OF SOMETHING! GRIEF, IS THE NORMAL RESPONSE TO A LOSS! AND THEN OF COURSE MOURNING – REFERS TO THE OUTWARD EXPRESSION OF GRIEF! NOW, ...read more

    Many times we look at the story of Zach as being just for kids. However, I believe there are some interesting observations can be made from the text.

     | 4,785 views

    Jesus, Peter and Peter’s mother-in-law all showed what it means to be a friend. But we need to do the same. Don’t leave Jesus in church, take Him with you everywhere you go.

    Introduction What does it mean to be a friend? Is it someone willing to help you out in your time of need? Is it someone you enjoy doing some recreation activity with? Is it someone you can tell all of your personal problems to and who helps you through a difficult time? We probably all have ...read more

    Job 3

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 16, 2019
     | 6,160 views

    Job had kept his hurt within himself because there was no one else with which to share it, but when three of his friends came to him, he finally began to vent. Chapter 3 shows us that when we are unable to understand God's reasons, we must still trust in His wisdom.

    We have been talking about the book of JOB, which some scholars believe to be the oldest book of the bible, and written by Moses as he wandered the deserts. So far, in chapters 1 and 2, we see where Satan got permission from God to attack Job. The only stipulation was that Satan would not cause ...read more

    Jesus, the Good Shepherd John 10:11-18 Intro The Israelites, long before they became a settled agrarian people, were nomads in a pastoral setting.
