    Contributed by Joel Pankow on Sep 20, 2023
     | 1,270 views

    God's Lavish Mercy

     | 1,464 views

    Salvation through Jesus is for all people. God is fair and just in how He works to reach the lost.

    GOD IS FAIR AND JUST! THAT IS HARD FOR MANY TO GRASP. WE LIVE WITHIN THE SYSTEM OF PUNATIVE LAW: YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE. YET, THE SYSTEM OF GRACE IS FOREIGN TO US: GOD DEALS WITH US ACCORDING TO WHO HE IS, NOT ACCORDING TO WHO WE ARE. GOD EXPLAINED HIS GRACE AND COMPASSION TO MOSES IN EXODUS ...read more

    Jesus’s parables and Old Testament stories reveal astonishing truths. They show that God’s economy isn’t about math, but the true expression of value.

    Beyond the Numbers: Understanding God's Economy Introduction: - We live in a world that is obsessed with numbers. We measure everything by numbers: our income, our expenses, our achievements, our popularity, our success, and our happiness. We think that more is better, and that bigger is ...read more

Today, I would like to share with you a message from the Word of God based on the parable of the workers in the vineyard found in Matthew 20:1-16.

    A little boy got on the elevator with his father at the Empire State Building. They were going to the observation deck at the top and view the city.

    • As the elevator ascended the boy watched the signs flash as they went by the floors: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70. • The farther up they went, the more nervous the boy became. • Finally he looked up as his dad and said, “Daddy, does God know we're coming?” (Leighton Ford, "Hope for a ...read more

    As we enter many towns we see that they have a sign at the city limits that often tells us the name of the town and gives a BIG welcome to all who enter!

    Signs can be very interesting, such as: • In a Non-smoking area a sign said: "If we see you smoking we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action." • On Maternity Room door: "Push, Push, Push." • At an Optometrist's Office: "If you don't see what ...read more

    Sermon # 7 - Time To Stop Murmuring Series

     | 4,356 views

    Do we find ourselves complaining and murmuring about many things? Why do we do so, and how can we stop doing this? This sermon will help us examine ourselves in the light of God’s word.

    If we as a church today desire to resemble the early church, and if our aspiration is that people should be added in great numbers, then it is only appropriate that we not only evaluate ourselves in the light of God’s word, but also investigate to see what the early church did differently that made ...read more
