     | 509 views

    Christ did His part by taking up His cross and shedding His blood for the entire world so that we are redeemed and have eternity with Christ alone. How will you respond to Him today?

    1. ONE CROSS [symbol of our sin]: 1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the message of the CROSS is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” • Growing up I saw different perspectives of the cross of Christ. • For certain denominations it was a kind of ...read more

    Do you know God’s peace in the midst of situations that the world gets anxious about? If not, examine yourself: Is your faith in Him and your focus on His kingdom, rather than on selfish pursuits?

    Custody Battle

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on May 23, 2024
     | 1,443 views

    Today, more than ever before, the enemy of our souls is targeting our children. If we, as parents aren't careful to raise our children in the light of God's Love and Truth, satan will be happy to raise them in the shadows of immorality and apostasy.

    I found myself torn between two topics I felt led to preach on this week, but I believe the Lord used elder Jermaine’s last sermon to help me decide. I don’t know what part of that message resonated with you; but for me, the most powerful point that he brought out was this: Speaking of the great ...read more

    Israel, under Joshua's leadership, had reclaimed southern Canaan from the various tribes who fought against them, Now Israel was facing a much larger enemy in much larger territory. The LORD, though, gave victory!

    Introduction: The last several verses of Joshua 10 describe briefly how Israel, with God’s help, swept through southern Canaan. Once that was done, Joshua and all Israel returned to Gilgal (see Joshua 10:29-43). There was still a great deal for Israel to claim, however, and this chapter gives some ...read more

     | 6,432 views

    We all have times in our life when we seek a place to hide, to be safe from the dangers of this world. Seldom we remember God, who is an impregnable fortress for those who trust in Him.

    Psalm 91 - Study 7 – You are my Fortress We read in Psalm 91:2, “I will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust."” (GW) When do we need a fortress? In Nahum 1:7, we read, “The LORD is good. He is a fortress in the day of trouble. He knows those who ...read more

    Daniel 4: Overcoming Pride Series

     | 7,192 views

    Self-focused pride 1) causes anxiety, 2) leads to a fall, 3) can be redeemed through God-focused humility. We can humble ourselves by 1) recognizing God as sovereign, 2) crediting God for our abilities, and 3) directing our gifts to the good of others.

    PUTTING PRIDE IN ITS PLACE—Daniel 4 PRIDE. One of the “Seven Deadly Sins,” along with greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. But is it always bad?
