Can You Identify God? Series

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Feb 4, 2016

Without a knowledge of God you would have no concern at all about the great hereafter. So by learning who God is we discover that there is so much more beyond our reach more than we could ever hope to grasp.

Message: Did you know that when Jesus walked upon the earth He had an identify problem? Not that anyone had stolen His identity like people do today but Jesus knew that people very close to Him were unsure as to who He truly was. It came up for the Disciples in Matthew's Gospel and it is here ...read more

Glimpses Of Grace Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 8, 2017

Leftovers Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 21, 2017

Leftovers can be great for meals, but there are times when they can be bad for a family. And we're not talking food here. What does God want us to be treat our family like and what difference does it make if we don't?

OPEN: How many of you have ever had Leftovers? One of my favorite meals is to go to a sit-down Chinese restaurant. They always give me more than I can eat and so I ask them to box the remainder up and so I can take it home. I enjoy that kind of leftovers. But leftovers can get… old. Especially if ...read more

Fresh Manna

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 11, 2020

Reflection B.4 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? / The Old Testament Prophets – Still Relevant Today!

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020

The Old Testament prophets are relevant to our question because their major theme is judgement, and because God's great act of judgement at the end of the Old Testament may be a foreshadowing of his judgement of the whole world in 'End Times'.

Starting with my next Reflection I will look at some passages in the Old Testament prophets. I would love to dive straight in, but I feel that some sort of introduction is in order. First, the Old Testament prophets take up more of the Bible than the whole of the New Testament! We believe God ...read more

How To Overcome In A Crisis Situation Through Trusting In The Lord.

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on May 23, 2020

When a crisis struck, what do we do? Do we look at the problems as a giant and ourselves as grasshoppers? Or do we look unto our God as the great and mighty one able to do above what we know and believe?

The coronavirus outbreak has caused untold pains to many families, not only of the loved ones lost but economic difficulties as well. In that situation you might ask what to do to beat the odds? Or how do I cope with the ...read more

Pentecost - The Church Is Born!

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 16, 2020

What a day!!! In all of the history of humanity there was never a more important few weeks than the time that passed between the suffering of Jesus on our behalf and the arrival of the Holy Spirit. It is almost too great an event to tell as it cannot be given the justice it deserves!

Today we will be reading from Acts 2:1-13 Last Sunday we took a look at a combination of Jesus’ ascension into Heaven and the Holy Spirit being given to all of humanity on the Day of Pentecost. In doing so we contrasted the work of God in the Old Testament and the ...read more

No Turning Back Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 22, 2021

One of the most sobering warnings in all of Scripture is found in Hebrews 6. There is a great, even awful danger of making an irreversible and eternally destructive choice to abandon Christ. This passage stresses why you don't want to go there.

This past year I faced a bit of a dilemma. My high school class, the class of 1970, was planning to celebrate its 50-year class reunion. I was invited. Would I go? That wasn’t the real dilemma. The real dilemma was that my spiritual father was on the organizing committee—yes, the fellow who ...read more

Philadelphia: The Church With The Open Door

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 9, 2020

Like Smyrna, the Lord offered only encouragement for Philadelphia, with no rebuke. They were a people of little strength, and yet they held great potential. Christ promised to open doors no man could close. He reminded them of His preeminence and the security of their future.

Philadelphia – The Church with the Open Door Revelation 3: 7-13 Philadelphia is the sixth church addressed by Jesus. Like Smyrna, Jesus offered no rebuke, only encouragement for their faithfulness and endurance in the midst of opposition. Jesus knew they were a people of “little strength,” and yet ...read more

"finding Our Way Home"

Contributed by David Henderson on Feb 17, 2020

We actually have three stories being told here. Three stories. One parable. One big truth and here it is. Lost things matter to God. As a result, God spends a great deal of time looking for his people.
