Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

A Memorial Day Plea

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Listen to his secret: the power to endure is found in hoping to see very face of God as your life’s ambition. Seeing the face of God is ultimate place of safety. Beholding the beauty of God is your place of sanctuary.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day, a day set aside to remember those who have died in service of our nation. Many of you know of someone who died during their service in the military.

This is the first sermon in a series of messages on Jesus’ vision of the last days. And it’s just in time for school to kick off both here and in Northwest ISD.

Jesus' Meal With Matthew Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

If the gospel is only successful among one stratum of society, it loses its punch. But if the gospel assembles people from both sides of the track (rich and poor), there is an intrigue to the gospel.

Jesus kept the wrong company. In the later decades of the nineteenth century, Hell’s Half-Acre was known as the red-light district of Fort Worth. While the area was cleared in the 1960s for the Tarrant County Convention Center, it was, as the name suggests, a rough and rowdy district. In the ...read more

A Time To Repent Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 6, 2021

Daniel took it on himself to intercede for the entire nation. He was just one person; yet the Lord heard his prayer. God will intervene on behalf of the few who fear His name and seek His face.

In our message today, we’re going to view Daniel’s prayer of repentance for the nation of Israel. Donald S. Whitney says of prayer, that God “expects us to pray just as a general expects to hear from his soldiers in the battle” and that “prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not a domestic ...read more
