    Natalie, age 9, said, “Don't say you love somebody and then change your mind. Love isn't like picking what movie you want to watch.” Good advice! But if you want really good advice about love and marriage, the Bible is the place to go.

    The sermon encourages believers to find hope, comfort, and motivation for faithful living in the promised return of Jesus and the assurance of eternal reunion.

    Some promises hush a room. “I’m on my way,” is one of them. The Lord Jesus has said it. And the homesick hearts of God’s people have been listening ever since. We ache for that trumpet, we long for that shout, we yearn for that reunion where grief will be gone and goodbyes will be history. Does ...read more

    The evidence of our Christian sincerity is demonstrated in the way we treat one another. God's word to His people is that we would love our neighbor as ourselves. Zechariah confronts this matter with a reminder of Israel's historical experience.

    In Zechariah 7 a delegation came from the Jews in Bethel asking the question: “Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?”i During the 70 years of exile in Babylon, the Jews had been observing four fasts in memory of the destruction of Jerusalem.

    True strength and peace come from wholeheartedly submitting to God, resisting evil, and finding our deepest satisfaction and security in Christ alone.

    Some mornings the mirror tells the truth we’re slow to admit: we’re tired in places that sleep can’t reach. Our hearts carry headlines nobody else reads. The schedule is stuffed, the inbox is full, and the soul feels thin. In that kind of world, we need a word that’s short enough to memorize and ...read more

(GW) As we continue to study the questions that Jesus asked, we realize that all of them were deep and thought provoking. In the above mentioned question there are two important ...read more
