  • Unexpected Events (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021
     | 3,290 views

    Message analyzes the incident in Exodus 4:24-26 when God sought to kill Moses. Why were God's dealings so severe when he was on his way to Egypt to do what God told him to do at the burning bush? What lessons can the Christian draw from this story?

    Before we get into the message, I want to mention an opportunity we have in this season. Tomorrow, September 6th at sunset begins the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah). That also launces the annual Ten Days of Awe on the Jewish calendar which culminates on September 16th with Yom Kippur, the Day of ...read more

  • Heaven Exists

    Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 22, 2021
     | 2,208 views

    Yes, heaven exists but the description of the three (or more) levels of heaven are illusive. Also, do we have bodies there? Are we conscious? Do we have tactile feelings similar to what we experience now?

    Heaven Exists Before we get into the existence of heaven, let's consider exactly when do we go? As with numerous Biblical topics, many churches, under Christianity's umbrella, have different beliefs on these topics. The following are my thoughts as reinforced by the specified verses from ...read more

     | 7,154 views

    Don't sell your birthright, like Esau did. Don’t sell your priesthood. Don’t sell the promises of God. And don’t sell your power over sin. Instead, enjoy your inheritance rights as a child of God, and live like the king that you are!

    Some time ago (September 16, 2009), an article in The Washington Post began with these words: “The king folds her own laundry, chauffeurs herself around Washington in a 1992 Honda, and answers her own phone. Her boss's phone, too.” The article was about Peggielene Bartels, a secretary in the ...read more

    Quality worship experience is dependent upon biblical principles. This message examines some of those principles as stated in Psalm 65.

    We take as our text today, Psalm 65. In the Bible God has given us a healthy spiritual balance of truth. Some portions of Scripture warn and correct. In Psalm 19:7-11 David celebrated this. He wrote, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 862 views

    When we make problems for ourselves where God had intended for us to make progress, we cannot usually reset our course. The Old Testament story about the Esau’s birthright that he surrendered to his brother Jacob is perhaps one of the best examples of this.

    THE BIRTHRIGHT Text: Hebrews 12:16 President John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said, “Our problems are man made; therefore they may be solved by men. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.” There is a lot ...read more
