A Safe Place To Come Close

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019

Humility and gentleness are keys for creating a church fellowship where people feel safe to come close to one another.

Last week we started with the dilemma of two porcupines on a very cold night, who needed to snuggle up close to each other to stay warm. But the closer they got the more they pricked each other with their quills, so they pulled apart. But the more they pulled apart, the colder they got. So it ...read more

Dare We Be Great

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 10, 2019

Hypothetically, if you were in a supermarket and someone asked you, “what does it mean to be great and would that be something you desire of yourself?”

Would you stop to think what it means to be great and why this person would be asking, “me of all people?” Would we have to defer until we got home to check the internet or perhaps dust off our old copy of Webster’s…or would we have an immediate answer? Would our answer be any different if we ...read more

The Pride Of Thine Heart Will Bring Thee Down

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 4, 2022

Edom was proud of its accomplishments, but in the long run, God would bring her down. Whether they are a nation, a business, a church, or a family, those in positions of authority should not be overly self-assured.

Obadiah is the shortest book of the Bible. It is titled The Vision of Obadiah as it prophesies the judgment to fall on the nation of Edom. The Edomites were descendants of Esau which made them related to the children of Israel (Genesis 25:19-27:45). Because of Edom's defiance of God, their ...read more

Demonstration Of Royal Service Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 1, 2024

Jesus had so little time left for His disciples to learn that the way to glory is through service and not through position and authority.

Just before tonight’s passage, as recorded in Luke 22 and Mk. 10, the disciples had been arguing over who would hold the leading positions in the government Jesus was about to set up. The discussion was heated. They were caught up in the ambition for position and power and authority. Surely this ...read more
