Jeremiah And Lamentations Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Jul 11, 2021

Jeremiah was a reluctant prophet. He didn't want the job, but he did what God asked him to do at great personal cost.

Which brings us to My Favorite Thing About JEREMIAH. He was a reluctant prophet. He did not apply ...read more

Specially Protected Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 21, 2021

This is the time for us to take stock of the decisions that we are making every day. Those that can be changed that are not in line with God’s will, need to be set aside immediately.

Their hands will catch you so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.” (ERV) Those who trust in the Lord are guaranteed an extraordinary protection over their lives. The Lord ...read more

People Of The First Christmas-Mary Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 19, 2020

Mary was a young Jewish virgin who received the surprise of her life one day! The angel Gabriel appeared to her and explained that she had been chosen to be the mother of the Messiah! What happened then?

Besides Baby Jesus Himself, there were Mary, His mother after the flesh; and Joseph, chosen by God to be the foster father of the Son of God (what a challenge!).

Praying Psalm 20 (Part One) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 10, 2021

Psalm 20 was a prayer for the king who was going into battle. But this psalm applies to us too. In Psalm 20 we see love, care and concern as well as encouragement, faith and trust. It's a good psalm to focus on, take to heart and pray.

PRAYING PSALM 20 (part one) Last week I talked about getting alone with God in silent solitude. Obviously when we do that we are going to spend at least some of that time in prayer. We pray for what's on our heart and we pray for others and we pray for our town, state, country, world. Someone ...read more

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jan 25, 2021

As Christians, are we ready to face the trying times ahead? All Scripture quotes are from the NASB.

We are looking at the Signs of Times. A person must be dumb, deaf, and blind, to miss the what is happening in today’s world, all around us. It was no different in Jesus’ day.

Why Do We Need Jesus As Our Shepherd?

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 1, 2021

Shepherds were known for their devotion to the sheep in their care. This parable illustrates Jesus's love for us as the shepherd of our souls who laid down His life for us. His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.

John 10:1 - 10:  “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his ...read more

Thank God For Man Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

Notice that Paul was thankful to God, but it was for these men that he was thankful. This does not seem like a very startling revelation until you begin to examine Paul's thinking all through the New Testament. You discover that man is the primary means by which Paul is made thankful.

Edward R. Morrow once told of the commencement speaker who was a Yale graduate. He used the 4 letters of YALE for his speech outline. Y was for youth; A was for ambition; L was for loyalty, and E was for energy. After his tedious trip through these four points one of the board graduates turned ...read more

Success In Simplicity

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

Jesus simplified everything he touched. The Old Testament saints had ten commandments to guide them, but Jesus said you can simplify these ten, and reduce them to two. Love God with all your being, and your neighbor as yourself.

C. S. Lewis, the brilliant atheist who became one of the most famous Christians of the 20th century, said, "It is no good asking for a simple religion after all, real things are not simple." Little did he realize, when he wrote those words in his early book, Mere Christianity, just how ...read more
