     | 5,156 views

    When you appear before a holy God, you would no more approach Him than you would walk into shark-infested waters. When God appears in front of you and you tremble in awestruck fear, it is a wise thing to call for a mediator to stand between you and He.

    Today we begin a new series entitled simply, The Ten Commandments. Today’s Scripture And God spoke all these words, saying, 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 “You shall not make for ...read more

     | 7,711 views

    I cried to God and He has heard me, and attended to the voice of my prayer; Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy away from me.

    WHY PRAYERS ARE NOT ANSWERED "I cry unto you, and you do not hear me: I stand up, and you didn't regard me" (Job 30:20) I prayed and cried to "the God that answers prayer" but He does not answer; Maybe He didn't hear me. That's the question that goes on in the ...read more

    Love Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 19, 2021
     | 4,922 views

    We often think of love as some syrupy, sweet, tingly, sentimental, ooey, gooey feeling. Biblical or divine love, however, is a self-sacrificing, caring commitment that shows itself in seeking the highest good for the one being loved.

    According to the musical wisdom of John, Paul, George, and Ringo ... otherwise known as "The Beatles" to us older folks … “All you need is love, love … love is all you need.” Well … that and food … and shelter … and air … and sleep … Love is literally in the air. You hear that word ...read more

    Whether it is two young Mormons who knock on your door or you decide to read the Qur’an for yourself, searching for the real answers in life is very different than most of our life’s pursuits.

    When we believe in Christ, the Light of the World, He delivers us from the darkness. The darkness is still there, and it’s still deadly, but it cannot overcome the light of the Lord.

    Say you’re out in the bush somewhere at nighttime. All around it’s very dark, just the murkiness of midnight, and you’re a bit scared. You’re glad you have your flashlight, and glad the moon is shining. And when you come to a hill, and you look out over the treetops, you’re even gladder when you ...read more

    Tough And Tender Love

     | 4,539 views

    God’s love is tender, but it’s also tough. God is a God of justice as well as a God of mercy, and it’s from both that God deals with His people. In Zephaniah’s prophecy, we see both sides of God’s love, the toughness in judgment, and tenderness in His mercy.

    When One + One Doesn't Equal Two

     | 4,542 views

    This message is about living as one with Christ. When we accept Christ we are joined with Him and that means something. This message illustrates how we become one with Him.
