The King Of Truth

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on May 19, 2023

People often become obsessed with royalty because they need someone to look up to, to be part of something larger than themselves. But they are always disappointed.

We fought a war, once, to get rid of a king. Two hundred and twenty-two years ago Americans took up arms to win our independence from King George III of England.

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 12, 2025

The fear or reverence of the Lord is our response to His love, His majesty, holiness, as well as His wrath. This kind of fear is not ...read more

Born To Be King Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Feb 28, 2025

On Mission For The King Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jul 14, 2025

After missing the point of who Jesus is and what He's doing, the disciples are sent on another mission trip. Here they learn about both the manner and the mindset of the mission.

As we seek to minister for Christ here in and around Poolesville, as we support missionaries in other contexts, I think this same manner and mindset will be helpful. If you have you Bibles, open them to Luke 10. I’ll read the passage for us in order to help us gain a full picture of what’s ...read more
