A Middle Aged Reason For Hope

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Dec 8, 2005

Worship - Part 1 Series

Understand Your Harvest

Contributed by David Becker on Oct 23, 2006

So many people and churches are missing their harvest because they do not understand three important things. Harvest is a consequence, process and a season. Once we understand these then we can apply the implications and reap the benefits.

UNDERSTAND YOUR HARVEST INTRODUCTON - What is your Harvest? When we think of harvest what do we imagine? Maybe for most of us here in this rural area - it is fields of wheat and harvests as in our title frame. But what does a harvest look like for you? Is your harvest about finances? To ...read more

The Church Alive And On Fire

Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 11, 2013

It is quite clear that the church is under attack. It’s open season on pastors and the entire church as well. It is almost as if the world system is pushing the church into a corner and challenging the church to produce its credentials

4 The Lord will wash away the filth from the daughters of Zion. He will wash away the blood from Jerusalem. With a spirit of judgment that burns like fire, he will make everything pure. 5 Then the Lord will create a cloud of smoke in the day and a bright flame of fire at night over every building ...read more

Looking at our God at this time of season (Thanksgiving Day) we are in awe of God being great and being good. Reading the scriptures gives meaning for God's greatness and His Goodness."

Let us thank Him for our food!” We may have even learned the longer version which included: “By His hand we all are fed, give us Lord our daily bread.” From this brief prayer, from our ...read more
