     | 3,251 views

    • With Jesus there is room for everyone in God’s mercy; • He’s called us not to wait a safe distance away, but like boat #14, to follow after the cries of people in the darkness. • It’s a profound truth to discover how much lost people matter to God, bu

     | 7,074 views

    In life there are so many different forces pulling on us. We are pulled one way by fear, and another by self-righteousness. But thank God that the Cross is always at the center, and nothing is more powerful than the pull of God’s mercy and grace.

    Mark 10:17-22; Mark 10:23-31 This week we are going to be looking at our Gospel lesson. I wanted to preach on the Gospel last week (maybe you wished I did too), but I held off, because this week and last week’s reading need to go together. So really, we are going to be looking at both lessons ...read more

    Your Plans-God's Plans Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 6, 2022
     | 1,675 views

    Jesus gloried God! He wanted people to see God’s holiness, His power, His mercy, His heart, His longsuffering. And that’s why He went to the cross. It not only manifested the depth of our sin, it also manifested the magnitude of God’s love for this world.

    Maybe you know someone who always has a plan. They don’t make a move without a plan for the day, for the week, even for months ahead. They check the weather, know the timetables for public transport, and plan for all possible contingencies during the day. They have a solution or back up plan just ...read more

    Tough And Tender Love

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jul 18, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,473 views

    God’s love is tender, but it’s also tough. God is a God of justice as well as a God of mercy, and it’s from both that God deals with His people. In Zephaniah’s prophecy, we see both sides of God’s love, the toughness in judgment, and tenderness in His mercy.

    God has given us the greatest gift imaginable in Jesus -- it compels us to want to give a gift to him. The ultimate gift we can give is ourselves which we show by doing justly; loving mercy; and walking humbly with Him.
