     | 5,566 views

    With many things in life, we get disappointed because they don't live up to the advertising. But God always exceeds expectations! He does more than you asked. We take a journey of faith to see what God might want to do if He lived among us today!

     | 2,073 views

    Though we live on this earth, it is important that we have an eternal perspective. We are all heading to one of two destinations, and may God help us to make the right decision so we can be with Him for eternity.

    God's Comfort Through Knowledge Series

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Feb 4, 2023
     | 1,145 views

    Knowledge of God and his kingdom offers comfort to the righteous in all times of pain, sorrow, and suppression by evil beings. Daniel, in captivity, was comforted regularly by knowledge given to 'a man highly esteemed'; Daniel 9:23. Through knowledge, the righteous are comforted today.

    In our study of punishment, captivity, protection of saints, and comfort of the righteous in times of captivity, we will see God’s continued comfort in knowledge of His divine plan for mankind unto Daniel. It is safe to assume Daniel shared these bits of knowledge and wisdom with the righteous ...read more

    God loves us so much that he gives us a doorway of hope. What kind of hope is that, and where do we find it?

    In Europe, there’s something called “Lock Bridges”. They are bridges where young lovers will take padlocks, engrave their initials or messages on them, and then lock them onto a bridge in the city, throwing the keys in the river.

    Sermon # 8 - Love Like Jesus Loves Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,668 views

    So many relationships are broken or splintered because of un-forgiveness. God’s mandate for His children is that we should love and forgive others the way He loves and forgives us. This love and forgiveness was perfectly exemplified by Jesus throughout His life and even at the point of death.

    Jesus said in Luke 6:32, "If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! (GNT) As we continue to meditate on the questions that Jesus asked, we find these questions are relevant and life-giving even today. Most of us in ...read more

    Often the traditions of men have overtaken the commandments of God and thereby, many have missed the true intentions of God’s commandments. May we heed the voice of the Holy Spirit and truly honor and please God in all that we do.

    We read in Matthew 15:3, He answered them, "Why do you break the commandment of God because of your traditions? (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

    "The Authority Of Jesus Gives Freedom”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jun 26, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,126 views

    We celebrate the values of Freedom by our Founding Fathers. And we celebrate the "freedom" from the fear of death because Jesus conquered death and proves His authority is from God, freeing people from demon possession, disease & death.
