     | 6,708 views

    Sometimes, even faithful people can experience heartache to the point of losing hope. God knows what we're going through and He has a plan for us all.

    Opening and Introduction In our text today, Paul has a summary of one of his travels, and how it affected him.

    When we lose a loved one, we often have questions for God. I know you are hurting today. So, God gives us a word about hurt. Losing a loved one hurts. God understands our hurt and He encourages us to express our hurt to him. Many times, on days like today, we try to deny our hurt or ignore it. ...read more

    The Good News Of The Gospel-Pt.2-"saved By What?"

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Feb 16, 2021
     | 1,280 views

    Today, I want to explore the salvation that is ours by answering the question, “Saved by what?” As we consider the work of Christ, we need to consider not only His death but also His life. Both are needed for our redemption.

There is nothing easy or attractive about hell and the doctrine of conscious, eternal punishment. But hopefully, the desperateness of the situation, the hopelessness and ...read more

    Within the religions of the world, it is not uncommon to hear that the greatest thing to obtain is faith. Yet, the Great Commandment given by God in the Bible was not to have faith but rather, to love Him

    "You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment." (Matt 22:37-39 NLT) Faith - in and of itself - is useless unless it is energized by God's love. This love command is the foundation of the ...read more
