    Human religion is at war with God’s revelation.

    Introduction Having lived in several years in cold northern climates in my life, but having grown up in California, I am amazed at the difference between winter and spring as it relates to the appearance of a snowy place. In the height of winter in Northern Michigan, for example, snow covers ...read more

    Addressing The Realities Of Life Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 23, 2015
     | 7,274 views

    Being human is generally a good thing. The temptation in our day is to manipulate or engineer human nature and deny its realities. But a church is about real people, redeemed by Jesus, but fully human — even more human — because of that redemption.

    Addressing the Realities of Life (I Timothy 5:1-16) 1. Some people have a sanitized view of life. Life, however, is often less glamourous. 'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a ...read more

    The message encourages believers to know their spiritual mother, the way of promise, and to discard the way of law. In other words, stop trying to earn your way and start enjoying your way to heaven.

    Freedom’s Children (Galatians 4:21-31) Van Morris, of Mt. Washington, Kentucky, tells the story of an elderly woman from out of town who walked into a local country church. A friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps. “Where would you like to sit?” he asked. ...read more

     | 6,249 views

    History shows that most peacekeeping efforts by and large have failed. So what does Jesus mean by being a peacemaker?

    We live in a world characterized by fighting, wars, and animosity at every level of society. It’s everywhere. Lady Astor once said to Winston Churchill, “If you were my husband, I’d put poison in your coffee.” Churchill responded, “And if you were my wife, ...read more

I want to offer a bird’s eye view, if you will. We live in a world that has tried to overlay their big stories as the TRUE story – the ...read more

    Despite the repeated efforts of mankind to duplicate the work of the Lord, His work is unique and man is unable to do what He does. Eventually, those who imagine they can supplant God crash up against reality, and they are revealed to be frauds.

    “Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Say to Aaron, “Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, so that it may become gnats in all the land of Egypt.”’ And they did so. Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All ...read more

    The line has been drawn, & the battle is on. But do we realize it? Are we people who understand the times & know what should be done? You see, there are four areas in which this battle is being fought.

     | 4,203 views

    This message is a discussion of Commandments 6,7,and 9 of the Ten Commandments and how they are relevant to our relationship with each other. God places a lot of value on the human race. We tend to under value each other.

Okay, so let's jump into the passage for today: Exodus 20:13 "You shall not murder. We will spend a little time talking about this ...read more

    How Good Friday Is Good For Us

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 4, 2015
     | 5,605 views

    Jesus sees all our sins, but because he had made the ultimate sacrifice with his blood, we can have forgiveness. Christ is the sin eater who has taken care of all our sins, and that is another reason why Good Friday is good for us.

    What is so good about Good Friday? That is the question many of us probably ask when Good Friday comes around every year. After all, what is good about a day that commemorates Jesus' horrible torture and execution on a Roman cross? Good Friday is a dark day in some respects because it ...read more
