    We spend 2.5 days a year looking for lost items like the TV remote. The prophet Isaiah helps us see what important daily quest we should undertake.

    According to a 2017 survey by Pixie, a company that furnishes technology to locate lost items, Americans spend the equivalent of 2.5 days a year looking for misplaced items. What do you suppose the most misplaced item is? No, not phones or keys. It’s the TV remote. Apparently more than 70% of us ...read more

    Just as the church at Ephesus had its opportunity to respond to the Lord's call, so do we. We too are called to be a shining light for Christ and share the love of God with others. Let us consider the lessons we learn from the church at Ephesus and seek to renew our love for Christ.

    Visionary View: Respond to Christ’s Call to love Today, as God's church, we draw nearer each day to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Some of you may search for signs of His imminent return and find many Biblical prophecies fulfilled already. Yet, remember Jesus' own words in Mark ...read more

    this is the fourth study in 1 Peter. We need to understand the importance of Scripture and the power of the Holy Spirit to the life of the Church.

    The Prophets Said it Would be Like This: 1 Peter 1:10-12 Introduction The idea for the title of this section comes from a Chattanooga weatherman who predicted correctly a big snowstorm in March 13, 1993. It was the only snow of the season in an area that barely averages 4 inches of snow a year. ...read more

    Be sure that the prophecy you received will stand in the midst of a dark storm.

    Today, more than ever, people are attending conferences and meetings seeking a word from God or a prophecy about their future. What they find are people willing to tell them something good. More often than not, it will be even better than good. It will be ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 16, 2022
     | 4,031 views

    Few among us are not prone to anxiety and worry. Some allow worry and anxiety to dominate their lives. Thankfully, believers do not have to live in worry. Peace and assurance are available in Christ.

    Gaining Victory over Worry Matthew 6: 25-34 We have read a portion of Scripture to which we can all relate. I am sure that some of us are worse than others, but we all have occasions in life when we worry. I know that I am guilty of worrying needlessly many times.

    The Bible records many oral reports that were given.

    For example, if you remember in the Old Testament, Moses sent out the ten spies to scout out the land and they came back and gave their report. Some of them gave a very negative report.

    There is a book called “The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire”, which tells of the rise to power and the collapse of the Roman Empire.

    We look back in history and do not think much about the fall of Rome, but to put it into perspective, you have to realize the nation of Rome was so big, no one ever thought such a thing could have happened, BUT IT DID! Nations have COME and nations have GONE! For example, who would have ever ...read more

     | 4,285 views

    In spiritual deserts, we wonder if God is with us or if He is simply a mirage. Yet Scripture shows us that no matter where God’s people find themselves—in battle or prison, in valley or wilderness—one thing is true: God is faithful.

    Sermon: Encouragement In the Desert Scripture: Isaiah 35:1-10 (21st Century King James Version) ”The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing.
