    Hearing The Loneliness Of The Cross

    Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 22, 2015
     | 6,780 views

On Tuesday, as the Worship Team prepared for rehearsal someone asked about the cross. It was said that it looks so much ...read more

It was the topic of Tuesday night small group and I have not been able to shake it since. The Bible is full of verses telling God’s people to pray. Jesus by example in numerous ...read more

    Do Not Take Side Series

    Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 13, 2013
     | 6,825 views

    One of the great characteristics of the body of Christ is to care about the burdens and sufferings of one another. However, as we seek to console and encourage friends that have been offended, we may be tempted to take up their offense against another.

    In sympathy, we may tend to take their part against the pastor, the church or whoever they blame for the offense. This is very unwise and an unscriptural thing to do, considering that your friend may be the cause of his own/her offense, or trying to drag you out of faith. His/her hurt feelings may ...read more
