    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jun 16, 2025
     | 607 views

    This exposition of Luke chapter 15 begins with a very personal story, highlighting how God even uses human frailty as a means to His grace.

    Once upon a time, in the summertime, there was a 16-year-old young man struggling to find his way. His father held a particular secular and materialistic philosophy about life and making meaning in the world—something the young man had tried to embrace, but it ultimately left him feeling empty. ...read more

    In the Parable of the Prodigal Son (which is really the Parable of the Loving Father) we get a picture of how our heavenly Father loves us.

    Contributed by Chris Layton on Jul 11, 2025
     | 294 views

    In this messaeg we will look at what the Father did and not the mistakes of the Son

    Introduction: • "In Luke 15, we encounter a story often called 'The Parable of the Prodigal Son,' a title that highlights the son's wasteful choices and, in a way, keeps the focus on our own shortcomings. • But I believe this name misses the heart of the story. A truer title might ...read more

    Sermon # 36- Privileges Of A Child Of God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 16, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 399 views

    The greatest privilege to anyone who puts their faith is Jesus is that we become sons and daughters of the Most High God. As children of God we approach God with the confidence that we can pray to Him and draw near to Him knowing that He is merciful and gracious to us.

    Today’s meditation is based on Galatians 3:26, “It is through faith that all of you are God's children in union with Christ Jesus.” (GNB) The above mentioned verse explains to us that everyone who has put their faith in Jesus Christ are children of God. We have the blessed privilege of being ...read more

    Jesus begins His public teaching ministry not in a temple, but on a hillside. The crowds gather. The disciples sit close. And the Lord opens His mouth to speak words that turn the world upside down.

    Nothing You Can Do To Make God Love You More Or Less

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 25, 2024
     | 2,248 views

    Recently I have been hearing quite a few pastors using a quote from Henri Nouwen a Dutch Catholic priest that states, “There is nothing we can do to make God love us more and nothing we can do to make God love us less.” Is that true? Let's see what God's Word has to say about it.

    Do you have a Bible? I was once told that in a simple Bible with no maps, no apocrypha and no commentary you would find the Psalms in the center of the Bible. So, I thought maybe it would be Psalm 119 since it has 174 verses and is the longest chapter in the Bible. However, in my Bible it turns out ...read more

    Each one of us carries a story shaped by experiences, choices, and circumstances that often explain who we are. However, while our past may provide context, it cannot serve as an excuse for how we live today.
