    I. Heavy Heart – The Long Walk Home There’s a grief that can’t be spoken. There are wounds that will not heal. My eyes are blind; my heart, a stone. Somehow the sun has nerve to rise again.

    The key to healthy prayer is more than a technique; it is a healthy attitude. Let's look at six attitudes that lead to a satisfying and effective prayer life.

    Prayer Attitudes J. C. Ryle once wrote, "If I know anything of a Christian's heart, you are often sick of your own prayers." You go to pray but you can't think of what to say. Or you tell God he's awesome, and a second later you recall that the Honda needs an oil change. You promise God that ...read more

    The sermon urges us to focus our attention on God, allowing His light to clear our vision and transform our hearts, actions, and perspective.

    Friends, have you ever tried to read with smudged glasses or looked through a windshield streaked with grime? You can see, but you can’t see well. Colors dull. Edges blur. You miss what’s right in front of you. Life can feel that way, can’t it? The calendar fills up, the news churns, the phone ...read more

    Bout With Doubt

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025
     | 78 views

    Doubt is not the same as unbelief; God invites honest questions and meets us in our struggles through His living Word and Spirit. King Josiah’s tender heart toward Scripture shows that even when visible results seem small, faithfulness matters because God speaks through His Word and through us.

    Introduction – When Doubt Knocks A young man knelt before his beloved, ring in hand. “Sweetheart, I love you so much. I want you to marry me. I don’t have a car like Johnny Green. I don’t own a yacht like Johnny Green. I don’t have a house as big as Johnny Green’s. I don’t have the money of ...read more

    Without dissimulation. That simply means open, transparent, and honest. Whether is be in love or business, that is what God expects from us in all of our dealings.

    PRETENDERS Gibeonites --Joshua 9 motivated by fear pretension cannot be equated with love. The deceit was used to make a league with Israel. The vow was unwise, but it was considered official and had to be honored. A wrong relationship now has become obligatory and thus, will have its ...read more

    God wants us to be honest and real in our communication with Him. When we are, He can then lead us to the point of confidence in Him.

    Communication between people takes place at three levels: the frivolous level, the factual level, and the feeling level. Frivolous communication takes place on the surface with the use of innocuous questions and casual clichés. How are you doing? Looks like it going to rain today. What do you do ...read more

    Sadly we see today the calamities and devastation that fall on nations who have turned from the Living God of Israel. Pray we stay faithful or else we too will suffer those consequences should our nation collectively turn from God.

    Saints; If we want to be effective for the cause of Christ we need a song in our hearts. If we want to assure people that our God provides eternal peace and hope we will need a smile on our face. If we want people to hear the joy of our salvation that comes from knowing Jesus as our Saviour they ...read more

    We live in a world that tells us to "follow our heart." But what if the heart we’re following is broken, bent toward sin, and far from God? What if the very core of our being—our heart—is deceitful and desperately wicked?

    Go! And Examine Your Heart - Jeremiah 17:9-10 Jeremiah 17:9-10 (NLT): "The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to ...read more
