Hearing Problems

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023

Are we afraid to ask what Jesus has in store for us, of what our future following him might look like?

This was a very difficult sermon to prepare because this passage doesn’t really apply to you, at least not the way most preachers spin it. I can just hear the disciples arguing over who’s the greatest, can’t you? like a bunch of little boys bragging in the playground at recess, or kids ...read more

A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Survive

Contributed by Lee Houston on Jan 20, 2025

This morning, I was reading Mark 3:24-25, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I did not remember the context in which he said it. I found it in a Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln. I thought about Lincoln’s realization. It seems to me that we are again a divided nation.

Wiscdom 101

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jan 30, 2026

The book of Proverbs does not guarantee a stress-free life. But If you listen to God's Word, and do your best to make God-honoring choices at every step of the way, you will get out on the other side without having lost your sanity, your self-respect, or your soul.

How many of you know how to play basketball? Not how many are good at it, but know more or less how it works: one ball, five players on a team, two nets, one at either end of the field.

Thoughts In 2 Peter – Number 7 - A Look At Peter’s Exposure Of Destructive Wolves/ False Teachers – 2 Peter 2:1-3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 27, 2026

Superficial knowledge of the scriptures allows error on a large scale. The words of false teachers are false, but the false becomes true to those who are deceived. Error thrives in untaught conditions just as disease thrives in unsanitary environments. Peter opens up on these savage wolves.

Christ At The Center

Contributed by Patty Groot on Jul 31, 2025

In a world full of shifting values and unstable truths, we need an anchor. Colossians 1 gives us one: Jesus Christ is not just part of the story; He is the Author of the story. This early confession of faith shows us the truth about Jesus.

Paul doesn’t begin this passage with practical advice or even spiritual encouragement. He starts with awe—with a hymn, a bold declaration of who Jesus is. Before we get to what we should do, Paul reminds us of who Christ is. This passage, Colossians 1:15–20, is considered one of the earliest ...read more
