    Five Wise and Five Foolish Bridesmaids

    Today, as we read in the Gospel Jesus’ parable about the Ten Bridesmaids, I couldn’t but reminisce two memorable experiences I had in September 2013. First, my experience of visiting the Holy Land during the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is one of Judaism’s holiest days. It ...read more

    Only One Way To Survive - The Ultimate Guide To The Perfect Family Series

    Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Mar 10, 2020
     | 3,057 views

    We are all messed up, flawed beyond hope and very dysfunctional. And unlike popular sitcoms about dysfunctional families, it really isn't funny! So how can you survive or overcome these flaws?

    This may come as a surprise for many, but every man desires to have the perfect family. It's no secret that every woman desires to have the perfect family, but so do men! However, if you haven't noticed yet, there is no perfect family. We are all messed up, flawed beyond hope and very ...read more

    Each of us is the music—the great opus—of those who have used their gifts to equip us and we must do the same to equip others.

    On Membership Part Two Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jul 17, 2023
     | 1,359 views

    the Bible clearly teaches that Christians are members of the Body of Christ. But is local church membership Biblical? We examine this in this study. This is not a typical sermon, but more of a Bible study lesson for our congregation.

    In doing some serious study on membership and what that looks like in the Church at a local level one encounters a potential problem. It just isn’t there. That’s not to say it is bad, wrong, or sinful to have formal membership rolls, as having such is very practical and quite helpful to local ...read more

    Independence Day: Our country was founded on a value for religious freedom. As biblical morality fades, immorality and moral decay are taking its place; which will eventually lead to the collapse of this nation unless people repent.

    This week we celebrate Independence Day, the day that our nation commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.(1) We must not forget that our country’s drive for independence began with a quest for ...read more

    Is Deborah The Foundation For Female Leadership In The Church?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 12, 2021
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,591 views

    The story of Deborah is often used to encourage women to seek leadership and teaching roles in the church.

    The Bible proclaims that every male and female human being has intrinsic and equal worth and is a reflection of God because they are made in His image. Those who say that the Bible portrays women as subservient to men have never read the Bible or don't know anything about it; otherwise, they ...read more

    Establishing A Covenant Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,609 views

    When a church begins growing, and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it can result in chaos without established rules. Properly communicated expectations within a membership covenant can hold people accountable.

    If and when we begin sharing our faith and as we begin gaining spiritual territory for the Lord, then our church will grow as more and more people are added. This means we will be in charge of leading those who are new to our fellowship; and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it ...read more

    All Murders Even The Forgotten Ones Will Be Judged And Avenged - Revelation 9 V 21 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 2, 2022
     | 1,780 views

    In the Tribulation period that happens after the Rapture, God's judgements fall on this world but the human heart is so hard it refuses to repent even then. In particular 4 sins are mentioned, one of them being murder, which is the topic for today.

    ALL MURDERS EVEN THE FORGOTTEN ONES WILL BE JUDGED AND AVENGED - Revelation 9 v 21 This is a horrible world; a world of torment and ugliness, of torture, pain and death. The atrocities of this earth are like an iceberg – the majority is hidden underneath and is not seen. Two posts back I had an ...read more

     | 10,375 views

    Romans 8:26-28 is a very comforting passage... but what does the Bible mean by saying God intercedes for us?

    The court was in session and there were the usual niceties that had to be observed. Everyone stood as the judge entered the courtroom. When everyone was seated again, the judge read the charges, and then asked the man at the defense table: “Are you the defendant in this case?” The defendant ...read more

    Third John 11-15 shows us how a consistent Christian and a caring Christian live.

    Scripture This is the concluding message of our study in the Apostle John’s letters that I am calling “That You May Know That You Have Eternal Life.” John wrote three letters toward the end of the first century.

    The Armor of God Ephesians 6:10-18 January 19, 2020 When you think about it, it’s amazing to think about all of the ways in which we try to protect ourselves.
