What Did You Say? Series

Contributed by Jamie Bogaard on Apr 3, 2017

Peter fails to see Jesus's supremecy and plan for the coming kingdom and tries to push his plan instead. We often do the same in telling God how things are going to work instead of looking at his plan

Have you ever stuck your foot in your mouth? Have you ever had a time where you thought you knew what you were talking about but it turns out that you didn’t quite have all the facts straight.

Part 1: Preparing For The Fight Series

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019

I was raised NOT to fight. My Father told me since I was knee-high that fighting was wrong and that I would get a “whoopin’” if he ever found out that I had been fighting.

The first fight I ever had was unofficial if you will and it was between a local farm-boy and myself. I was defeated, although it took awhile, and I ended up with two black eyes and some swelling to my jaw. I never asked for the fight but it happened and I was ill-prepared to defend ...read more

What Is Our Part?

Contributed by David Nolte on Jan 20, 2021

Sometimes we presume to play God's part and forget about our part.

Things are not always as we want them to be. Disappointments, disasters, distresses, diseases, dilemmas, discouragement and depression destroy our dreams and desires. Problems seem to be the norm and solutions seem inadequate. Our need is urgent, and we see no light at the end of the tunnel. ...read more

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019

Is church really worth our time? Our time is inherently valuable so we want to make sure that we are spending our time on things that have value. Is church one of them?

The 9-5, Monday-Friday, 40 hour per week, weekends off work week seems to be a thing of the past for many people.
