My Country 'tis Of Thee

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Jul 5, 2003

There is a rumor going around our nation about something called the "separation of church and state." What does that phrase mean? Are we a nation whose God is the Lord?

But I do remember that he could not go into the office for several days, so instead, he just set up an office at our ...read more

The Great Commission Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 18, 2006

This message was written as part of a mission emphasis series. It fits well into a purpose of the church series also. It depicts that the Church is to be on mission for and with Jesus because of who He is and because of what He does.

Tithing

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 2, 2004

Tithe means “a tenth” – Genesis 28:22 – “And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will surely give a tenth to You.” The word tithe in the Hebrew ...read more
