    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 3, 2025
     | 198 views

    We begin with an extra look at the inflated person, then consider the very important matter of bearing our own loads. Self-examination is necessary. We look at this problem of boasting and praise, and about examining your own work.

    24 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:3-5 - Message 24 – WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? DO NOT DECEIVE YOURSELF – YOU WHO ARE A BALLOON OF HYDROGEN.

    Changing your perspective can help you stop automatic negative attitudes, speech, thoughts and navigate situations with a more balanced outlook. The Jewish people needed a different perspective, so God sends Haggai.

    Jesus offers true rest and mercy, reminding us that God’s compassion outweighs rigid rules and that Sabbath is a gift meant to restore weary souls.

    Good morning, dear friends. Some weeks feel like a blur of alarms, appointments, and a to-do list that never seems to take a breath.

    The sermon emphasizes the grace and necessity of Christian community, highlighting how God designed us to support, encourage, and walk alongside one another in life.

    There’s a quiet kind of courage in the person who shows up for another. A text that says, “I’m here.” A hand that steadies the ladder. A shoulder that catches tears. If you think back across the years, who taught you that you don’t have to carry the couch alone? Who sat in the waiting room when ...read more

    God’s mercy meets us in our deepest failures; true repentance brings cleansing, renewal, and restored joy for those who honestly turn to Him.

    Some of us walked in today with a knot in the stomach and a stone in the soul. We know the sound of shame. It whispers in the quiet moments, it shouts in the sleepless hours. Guilt that gnaws. Regret that repeats. Failure that fogs the heart. If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling and wondered, Can ...read more

    Forgiveness flows from His throne perpetually, through the perfect atoning work of Christ.

    I want to talk to you about the most unpleasant subject that man has ever been forced to contemplate.
