The Devil Has A Plan For Your Life

Contributed by Paul Fritz on May 6, 2005

God’s plan promises love, joy, peace, and fruitfulness, but too few people choose correctly. Instead, they subtley surrender to the devil’s plan for their lives and suffer as Adam and Eve did in the garden. Nine points.

(John 10:10) The devil sought to distract Eve and Adam from the goodness of God. They enjoyed 99% of the desires ...read more

Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow

Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 10, 2007

We all need to have vision in our lives. We need to have vision for ourselves personally. But, just as importantly, we need to have vision for ourselves collectively as a congregation.

History books often refer to World War I as “The war to end all wars.” We all know how untrue that is. There was of course World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq twice plus numerous other skirmishes that our troops have been involved in.

The Temptation Of Jesus - Part 2

Contributed by James Snyder on Mar 11, 2013

Our temptations will never compromise our relationship with God, but will bring to the surface God's amazing grace for us in times of need. With every temptation comes a stream of God's amazing grace flowing in our direction.

Everyone lives with the basic assumption that they will never be tempted. Even if they are, they won’t yield. “It won’t happen to me,” the arrogant boast. And yet, it always does. Nobody starts out intending to be an alcoholic or a drug addict. And, nobody can become an ...read more

We are not perfect, nor are we beyond redemption. Wake up to correct the inadequacies; strengthen what is worth keeping; and remember the grace of God.

In the best of us there are deep flaws; but in the worst of us there is something worth redeeming. In the best of us there are deep, profound flaws.
