When Life Hurts

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 19, 2019

Sometimes life makes us feel like we're getting pummeled. We're get pounded with left hooks and uppercuts and we don't have a chance to cover up and defend ourselves. Is this an appropriate analogy of how some of your days go? What can we do when life hurts?

Are You Religious? (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 16, 2017

In the beginning of James 1:27, James highlights that part of pure religion in the eyes of God is looking after orphans and widows in their distress. Let's take a look at why this would be an indicator of being truly religious.

ARE YOU RELIGIOUS? (part two) Recap: James 1:26, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless."

"Lord Change Me"

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Feb 10, 2017

There comes a time, where a person has to draw a line in the sand and say, enough is enough, I can't do it on my own, I'm not going to kid myself anymore, I'm going to lay it all down and trust Jesus for every, single, solitary thing from now on...
