     | 172 views

    God graciously calls us to return, lay down our burdens and idols, and receive renewed identity, mercy, and blessing through His faithful love.

    Some of God’s kindest invitations arrive in a single word: Return. When life feels scattered and the heart feels thin, the Father whispers, “Come back to the place where you first heard My voice.” Maybe you know that tug. Maybe the calendar is packed, the nights are long, and your soul has been ...read more

     | 1,006 views

    Work is both fundamental and difficult, but with diligence, persistence, and the strength from God, we can approach it with a positive attitude and see it as a gift rather than a burden.

    Today, we're gonna chat about something we all have to deal with - work. Whether it's schoolwork, chores, or a part-time job, we all know what it's like to work. You know, work has been around since the very beginning. Even before humans were created, God was working. He set up this pattern of ...read more

    In the battle of the wills, one must die, either yours or God’s. Which ever one lives will be the one that is the Weight Lifter, carrying the burdens of life.

    Weight Lifters By Pastor Jim May One of the characteristics of the church of today that I find is so prevalent is that we seem to never get enough rest. It’s a rat race world that we live in, and every day that we live we wake up to world that is on the move. It seems that the more we work and ...read more

    Nostalgia is a fatal disease, because the burdens of the past are idolatrous and wearisome, and will bring us down with them. But remember who God is and what His purpose is.

    This past February I received a diagnosis, and, I’m sorry to say, it’s serious. I have a disease, commonly fatal. If it is not treated, it will destroy me, and I will gradually lose my abilities. I’m telling you about it, because, if we do not take some protective efforts, it will become ...read more

Galatians 6:1-5 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently.

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jul 20, 2015
     | 3,641 views

    Babylon is dealt a heavy blow as people begin to stream out of her, fight against her, and even discover a new world free from her influence (at least at the beginning). How will she respond to all of these changes?

    FORTY-THREE: PROTESTANTISM This book is not meant to be an endorsement of "Protestantism" over Catholicism, though you may be shocked to hear me say it. It is not quite that simple. For example, "Protestant" England comes about in part as a result of the love-life of Henry VIII. Henry refuses to ...read more

     | 5,551 views

    I have weighed recently the compassion fatigue that we all face. A pastor quietly lay the pistol to his head, his load had been so heavy, did anyone care? Maybe we miss it sometimes?

    GET UP AND ENCOURAGE SOMEONE… WHO COULD ENCOURAGE TODAY?

    Keep your prayer armour on in season and out of season. In good times and bad times, no matter the circumstance or situation, stay alert and prayerful, and great victories will come to you if you refuse to give up in the place of prayer

    There is mighty working power in prayer. Prayer avails much; prayer can do great things in us and for us, prayer can give us victory!

    The message of Advent and the birth of Jesus are about joy. Joy is not found in gifts but in the Person, Jesus Christ.

     | 8,317 views

    We like to be invited to things. It makes us feel good to be on the guest list. It tells you the person cares and wants you to be a part of what they're doing. Jesus gave an invitation in Matt. 11:28-30. Let's take a look at this invitation and see what we can learn.

    COME TO ME Matt. 11:28-30 We like to be invited to things. Depending on the event, we might get a fancy, overpriced invitation in the mail, requesting our presence at such-and-such.

     | 8,900 views

    To show that GOD will not allow us to be cursed by putting our trust in men and ourselves but only trusting in GOD.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you trusting in men? No. Only in JESUS CHRIST and GOD do I put my trust. John 14:1 (Amplified Bible) DO NOT let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated).
