Better Than You?

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Sep 19, 2009

Ordinary Proper 20: The disciples argued about who was the greatest. Jesus told them that He - the Creator - would be betrayed and be killed. Jesus showed greatness through humility.

What a ride! Can you imagine – I mean can you even begin to imagine – hanging out with the Creator of the universe!?! To see Him smile; to hear Him teach; to watch Jesus as He lived life with the zest and with the love that our Creator intended from the beginning – what a rush! But I wonder if ...read more

Have You Seen "His Star?”

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 20, 2018

Since Jesus is called “the Star out of Jacob” (Numbers 24:17) and the “Morning Star” (2 Pet. 1:19), it doesn’t seem surprising that Jesus' birth would be heralded by a new Star. For truly, a Star had been born!

What We Believe About Evangelism And Missions Series

Contributed by Todd Blair on Jul 14, 2022

Maybe you have a personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus and yet God has not blessed you like He could. One reason for that might be because you have received your orders but you have failed to carry them out.
