    A Blood Donor Saved My Life Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 11, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,249 views

    What does the blood of Christ do for us, and why is it such a powerful tool for God to use for fixing our broken lives?

    The American Red Cross in Oklahoma had this interesting poster sent to churches: "I gave my blood. Christ gave his. I gave a pint. He gave all. The needle is small, sharp. The nails were large, dull. The table - soft, restful. The cross - rough, painful. The nurses - kind, gentle. The soldiers ...read more

    God welcomes our honest, broken prayers; when we pour out our souls, His peace meets us even before answers arrive.

    (A Conversation About Heartbreak, Prayer, and Hope) Good morning, friends. I want to invite you into a story that feels surprisingly close to home. It’s the story of Hannah, found in 1 Samuel 1. You may have read it before, but today let’s walk through it like two friends sharing life over a cup ...read more

    God calls us to be pure, but is that possible?

    The Bible passage we just read is the verse that our older youth uses to identify themselves. They call themselves the 412 Youth Group (because of I Timothy 4:12) and essentially, they use that verse to declare that they want to be used by God, and they don’t want their AGE to get in the way of ...read more

    The Armour Of God, Part 2

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 27, 2025
     | 218 views

    We're in a war. God has provided us with armour. We need to think about it carefully if we're going to use it correctly. This second talk looks at the last four pieces of armour.

    I’d like to start by reading two short passages from Sir Walter Scott’s novel, Ivanhoe. Ivanhoe is set in the 12th century, a time when soldiers fought with swords and arrows and knights wore chain mail armour. Ivanhoe is a young Saxon knight. He’s fighting alongside Sir Robin Locksley, who turns ...read more

    As we continue to look at the life of Joseph we will see the incredible intricacies of God’s providential plan despite all the injustices, the anger and abuse he suffered, the word says that the Lord was with him.

    In recent years, months, and weeks, we have witnessed the escalation of hatred, bitterness, and violence around the world. This escalating anger and unrest points to deeper struggles going on in people’s hearts. The question is where is God? What is he doing, what good could possibly come out of ...read more

    He Lifts Me Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025
     | 125 views

    God’s mercy lifts us from resentment into freedom; forgiveness is not forgetting the wrong—it’s releasing it to the One who heals

    1 — The Wound That Wouldn’t Heal It’s me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer. That’s how this message begins—not with triumph but with honesty. Because forgiveness never starts from strength; it starts from brokenness. Maybe you know that kind of breaking. Someone walked away, someone lied, ...read more

    Love Is Kind

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 28, 2025
     | 206 views

    Our society is filled with things like road rage, revenge hit lists, and senseless shootings. Can we really make a difference in our society? The answer is yes, and the difference that we can make begins with being examples of simple Christian kindness.

    Alba 10-12-2025 LOVE IS KIND I Corinthians 13:4 Some years ago the “Dear Abby” column printed this letter: “Dear Abby, My mother used to be very critical of other family members, but always behind their backs.

    Any Old Bush Will Do

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 29, 2025
     | 566 views

    The bush God chose on Horeb was a worthless, fruitless bush that only stuck you with a thorn if you got close, yet God used it (by His holy presence) to deliver Israel and reveal His power to the world! If He can use that, He can use us!

    ANY OLD BUSH WILL DO Ex. 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. President Bush was going through an airport when he saw a man who looked like Moses. He asked him, "Are you Moses?" The man acted as if he didn't hear. 2. He asked him again, "Are you Moses?" The man refused to look ...read more

    How often has God used circumstances, “Famines” to move us toward healing, repentance, or change?

    Last week, we spoke from Genesis 41 - where Joseph—once a slave and prisoner—had been lifted to second in command in the most powerful nation of the world. We know that Pharaoh tried to Egyptianize Joseph: he changed his name, clothed him in royal garments, married him into an Egyptian priestly ...read more
