    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2014) A. Please listen as I read these familiar words found in Matthew 2:1-12. “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem & asked, ‘Where is the one who has ...read more

    Trusting God with our worries brings deep peace; by focusing our thoughts on His truth, we find joy and steadiness even in difficult circumstances.

    Some of us walked in today smiling on the outside while carrying a sack of worries on the inside. Bills, deadlines, strained conversations, the ache that won’t quit, the unknowns that sit on the porch of tomorrow and won’t stop knocking. If your thoughts have been racing and your heart has been ...read more

    Have Faith And Pray

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 5, 2015

    Our Christian life is not to be confined to a closet. Our belief must be revealed in our practice. If we walk in Christ, then we must act as Christ would act because Christ is in us-our hopes, our love, our joy and our lives. We are Christ's reflection.

    At first glance, the reading from Hosea 1:2-10 doesn't seem to make sense. Would God really ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? Well, the answer is yes he can, and yes he did. You see, this was part of God's plan, and we all know that God's ways are not our ways, and sometimes God's ways don't ...read more
