    Jesus is not afraid of our doubts and meets us where we are. He invites us to seek evidence and find hope in Him.

    Today, we're going to be talking about how even if you're tired, broken, feeling like an underdog, or even if you're doubting, there's hope for you. You know, doubt is like this balloon I have here. It starts small, but as we feed it with our fears and uncertainties, it gets bigger and bigger until ...read more

    It is so very easy to drop your guard and your readiness and give in to the complacency that boredom sometimes offers. I thought how similar we are with the temptations we encounter; often we take no real account of giving in to a little temptation here o

    We often have a tendency to mask our failure to love others by referring to it as a “complex issue”. It’s not true. Jesus shows us how utterly simple the issue actually is.

    “It’s A LONG STORY; A COMPLEX ISSUE; A GRAY AREA”. You have heard statements like this haven’t you? Perhaps you used them yourself. Phrases like this are often used as a way to bring an end to a discussion. More often then not, those who say them are trying to bring an end to a ...read more

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 3, 2021
     | 2,236 views

    In His final week of public ministry, Jesus confronted a series of challenging questions His enemies attempted to use as traps. One question dealt with the issue of paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus' surprising answer would settle the issues of loyalty and obligation to both God and Caesar.

    Jesus had spent the first days of His final week shaking up the status quo concerning the worship of the LORD, the reverence due to the House of God, and to recall its purpose. He exposed the moneymaking schemes of the religious leaders, rebuked their practices, and drove out the merchants who ...read more
