    When is enough enough? Each day we Americans are bombarded with thousands of messages - many telling us that we aren’t complete until we buy the latest and greatest product. Whether its cars or houses or boats or computers - what you have is no good anymore. It has bred a society founded on the ...read more

     | 6,402 views

    Our Lord has emotions. We see it both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. When He entered into Jerusalem on a donkey to the shouts of "Hosanna" why did He weep. Does He weep or rejoice over us?

     | 1,972 views

    If you aren’t actively seeking out or using your gifts to build up the body of Christ, why not? It’s why you were made.

    I love bumper-sticker theology. And one of my favorites is, “Life is hard try reading the instructions.” Those of you who have assembled toys or furniture may have discovered this principle the hard way. I’ve neglected to count the parts. I’ve put things together upside down and backwards. When I ...read more

    For Growing Love Series

    Contributed by Scott Jewell on Feb 18, 2024
     | 1,811 views

    Paul's love for the church of Philippi motivated his prayers for them. What does this demonstrate for us as we pray for our churches today?

    This past Wednesday, we celebrated Valentine’s Day. So it seems appropriate that we talk about a prayer about growing love since the idea of love is on people’s minds. I had to chuckle when I saw this meme on Facebook and shared it with someone who had posted to see if anyone would like ...read more

     | 5,880 views

    Sickness enters without knocking, changes plans, mocks certainty, diminishes hope, intrudes like a burglar. Such interruption occurred to a woman in Mark 5 and a man in Luke 5. They both experienced much losses and grew frustrated. That is until they came across Jesus.

    DO NOT LIMIT THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (PART 7): THE POWER OF THE LORD WAS PRESENT THAT DAY TO HEAL THEM 1. Mark 5: 24 So Jesus went with him (Jarius). A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great ...read more

    Our service to the Lord must be guided by His Spirit and offered to glorify Him.

    “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. But you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’ By offering polluted food upon my altar.

    Christ our Master has commanded us to baptise disciples rather than baptising rebels to make them disciples.

    “Jesus came and said to [the disciples], ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

    Its not just about what we believe. Its about how we treat one another. And its not just about how we treat one another. Its also about how we engage with people outside the faith.

    Let God See The Plumbing

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 21, 2002
    based on 24 ratings
     | 6,402 views

    When it comes down to it, do you let God in on the inside of you - or do you hold Him at arms length? Take a lesson from the religious establishment of Jesus’ day - let God into the ugly inner parts of your life, and let the Great Plumber heal you.

    A few years back I did a remodeling project at my house - the carpenter did much of the work but I cut costs by doing the plumbing myself. After putting in a bathroom over our garage the area was covered up by sheetrock. One day as I was walking to my car I felt a drop of water hit my eye. I ...read more

    Title: The War Within Scripture: 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 I know that ...read more
