     | 3,969 views

    How did Paul’s life change after He was saved? Paul said he was a pattern to those who would be saved after him, so I believe we can look at what happened to Paul and learn a lot. After you become a Christian, what can you expect?

    There is only one throne in a person's heart; it either belongs to you or to the Lord God Almighty. Jesus won't share it with you and you cannot expect Him to do so. There is only one remedy, to kill "the god of Me" and enthrone the True and Living God there!

    Killing "The god of Me” Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:6-8 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall ...read more

    Blowing Up Boxes Series

     | 2,858 views

    We often find ourselves putting people in "boxes." Race, gender, and endless number of boxes. And it's limiting. We put limits on expectations of others and ourselves. As we follow Jesus, we watch him "blow up" the box around a man born blind.

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 21 – What The Lord Hates And God’s Sovereignty In Declaring Good Or Evil - Chapter 3:33-38 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2025
     | 342 views

    We look at what worthless persons do; what the Lord hates, and the system in the world including injustice. False prophets are considered – they are always around. The sovereign God dispenses good and ill, that is, eternal life and eternal death. Good and ill proceed from God in heaven.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 21 – WHAT THE LORD HATES AND GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY IN DECLARING GOOD OR EVIL - CHAPTER 3:33-38 INTRODUCTION FROM LAST TIME Last time we looked at the LORD causing grief but then applying compassion.
