Psalm 32 - Acknowledging Our Sin Is To Be Our Regular Practice

Contributed by Neil Olcott on Jul 29, 2023

Have you ever felt that your relationship with God has been, not just stagnant, but wooden and hollow, with no life, no relationship, no joy, no vibrancy or flourishing? Like it is forced and faked and empty?

They’re bound together. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love.” And they’re bound together because the context of the psalm is 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12. ...read more

Patience In The Battle

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 16, 2023

One of the things that the Church, from my perspective, does not see how patient Satan is when it comes to seeing his destructive agenda manifest in our country and the world. This message examines looks at one example of this.

Let’s open this evening with Hebrews 10:35, the foundational verse for this message.
