    Dealing With Contradictions

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 8, 2021
     | 3,555 views

    As Christians, we live in world that is foreign to us. We live in a world that contradicts the life that Jesus lived - a life that He said we could also live. This message examines the reasons why we face contradictions in our lives and how to deal with them.

    In the Gospels, Jesus uses a method of teaching known as parables to communicate principles about the kingdom of God. A parable compares two things by placing them side by side.

     | 6,302 views

    The Bible gives details about your personal future – what happens both when you die as well as where you are after your death while the world awaits its end. In fact, the Bible teaches that everyone everywhere will spend eternity in one of two places: heaven or hell.

There are 260 chapters in the New Testament, and Christ’s return is mentioned no less than 318 times. Statistically, one verse in twenty-five ...read more

    Before The Beginning Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 4,340 views

    Had God alone been there from the beginning, there would be no thing or no one for Him to love. But God was not alone. The Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit were three in one. So God is relational before anything else.

    The Bible is a single story. It doesn’t appear to be one story. The Bible is a long book, written over 1,500 years and in numerous different genres. But if you look closely enough, you’ll find one cohesive story. It is one single story with unity and a compelling narrative. And we can summarize ...read more

    In 1 Corinthians 10:1-2, Paul said, “All our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.” This message looks at how the Red Sea crossing is connected to baptism.

    When I was in high school, I was part of an acapella quartet, and we sang all over the county. Well, one time our group sang at a black church in Perryville, and at the end of the service a baptism was held. Something I remember that had an emotional impact on me was the singing of an old Negro ...read more
