    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 11, 2023
     | 1,394 views

    For human beings the delicate balance between judgement AND mercy is very hard to maintain and we err one way or the other. God has it absolutely correct. Part 3 looks at that problem, as well as the vengeance and retribution of God. We cover various aspects. “Vengeance is Mine.”

    THE RETRIBUTION OF GOD AND COMBATTING INJUSTICE – THE DELICATE BALANCE OF JUDGMENT AND MERCY – PART 3 THE DELICATE BALANCE OF JUDGMENT AND MERCY – CAN HUMAN BEINGS HANDLE IT?

    God specializes in restoring those who are lost and gone away from Him. Everyone needs to be in the place God has assigned for us, for only there are we assured of God’s protection, privilege and we will also find our true worth.

     | 2,152 views

    The apostle Paul went through a lot of troubles, but he always found reasons to thank God. When writing to the church in Thessalonica he says that there were many things about them for which he continued to be thankful.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,220 views

    Conformity is the rule these days under increasing totalitarianism, but that will present problems for the Christian. One stands firm or compromises. To be faithful means holding fast to God’s word, not yielding our faith to distorted values so that we “fit in.” This is a difficult area.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,416 views

    The Bible talks less about what makes a great leader than it does about what makes a great servant. What is it about God's leaders that requires them to be servants of others?

    Today we are putting a man's name into consideration as a future Elder. I hadn't actually planned a sermon on Eldership (the sermon series I'm preaching through is something I'm working with other preachers on) but the text seemed to be a good groundwork for understanding what ...read more

    The devil is after something God created the most and is trying to destroy it while we are looking the other way.

    Man, is it not easy to get lost in the world view of Christmas, the presents, traditions, the hustle and bustle. The busy malls, the bony music, and Mariah Carey music fill everywhere.
