Maintaining A Pure Conscience (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 21, 2023

Paul emphasized the importance of maintaining a pure conscience, and we should do likewise. Message provides five keys to caring for our conscience and teaches how a pure conscience facilitates faith for answered prayer.

Intro Last week we introduced the subject of conscience. We identified what the conscience is and how it works. It is not a perfect guide because its moral judgment is based on the knowledge it has. But we are constituted in such a way that if we violate conscience, we become laden with guilt and ...read more

Discovering Your "why" For Life Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 18, 2022

Worship is the centerpiece that governs everything in your life, my believing friends. A centerpiece is where the presence of one thing governs everything else related to your life spiritually. The Bible says every little piece of our lives is to honor the Lord.

This morning, I want to talk to you about Discovering Your Why for Life. One day a man walks up to Jesus and says, “Lord, what’s the most important thing in the Bible?” Jesus replied this way: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 ...read more

From Our Mouths To God's Ears Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 18, 2022

In the midst of the spiritual wilderness that we find ourselves in today, our serenity … our comfort … our confidence comes from the fact that God provides us with our daily bread.

After Jesus was baptized, the Gospel writers say that Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness where He was tempted by the devil for 40 days (Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13). During that time, Jesus ate nothing. At this point, the devil attempts to use Jesus’ hunger to ...read more

Mephibosheth

Contributed by Todd Blair on Jul 25, 2022

God shows us loving kindness like David showed Mephibosheth.

Let me ask you a question. How do you know when somebody really loves you? Is it by what they say? No. It is by what they do. 1 Corinthians has one of the best descriptions of love in all of literature. It is a beautiful painting of what love looks like. You remember the passage.

The Only God, The First And The Last Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Aug 7, 2022

It’s foolish to put our confidence in what we own, or in what we look like, or in the people we love. All these good things only spring from the Lord God, the overflowing fountain. And none of these things can save or redeem, for God alone is the First and the Last.

One of my favourite Bible stories is in 1 Kings 18. That’s the chapter where God has a showdown with Baal, a dramatic contest on the top of Mount Carmel. You remember how Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a competition. ‘Come up the mountain,’ he said. ‘Bring two oxen for sacrifice, wood to ...read more

The Error Of Balaam – Making Profit From The Work Of The Lord – Part 2 - Jude 1:10-11(B) Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 13, 2022

Was Balaam a great prophet? Wonderful things came from the mouth of Balaam when he blessed Israel and did not curse them. Jude makes reference to him with "the error of Balaam" but how do we see that error in churches? That is what we will consider this morning.
