Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Dec 10, 2020

Did you know that the church has been given a mission and a Prime Directive?

How To Be A Spiritual Lion Tamer Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021

What qualified David to be used so mightily by God that two pagan kings were converted to fear His God. The story of Daniel and the Lion's Den supplies us with many encouraging spiritual lessons about how to be the kind of man whom God fully supports!

One of my favorite verses is II Chronicles 16:9a: “For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” It’s a verse that gives hope to any one and every one of us who would like to be used of the Lord that great ...read more

What The Bible Teaches About Cremation

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 28, 2021

The purpose of this course is to make today’s Christian think about some of the things we are facing in our society as Christians. Christian people should be “thinking” people when it comes to the issues we face in our society.

For example, as Christians: • We can not allow others to do our thinking for us when it comes to deciding what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. • We can not just ignore these issues we face and hope they will go away. Through the ages of time, God’s people have had to face difficult situations in ...read more

Real Repentance

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Nov 7, 2021

Repentance means change. What was I doing before I repented? What kind of life was I leading before? And how will things be different now? That’s not a one-time question, but it’s asked day after day. What shall we do? We bear fruit, for the glory of the God who saved us.

It’s a great privilege, being a minister of God’s Word. Yet preaching is a difficult job. What makes it hard is not really the years of study beforehand. It’s not the many hours spent every week writing sermons. It’s not even getting over the fear of public speaking. Preaching is difficult because ...read more

Let It Go Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Nov 15, 2021

Some people get depressed when they see the trees losing their leaves in autumn. Some even say that the trees look sad. Autumn though shows us how beautiful it is to let things go. We need to consider what, in our lives, we need to drop in order to heal our souls, move forward in our lives and grow.

source: http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/weatherjokes/falljokes.html Why does Humpty Dumpty love autumn? Because he had a great fall! Why are trees very forgiving? Because in fall they “let it go” and in the spring, they “turn over a new leaf.” Fall is a time of transition. There are ...read more

God’s Wisdom Is Health For The Whole Body

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Nov 21, 2021

Either our heart is slowly being filled with evil things, or gradually being filled with good. One heart condition ends in death, the other leads to life. So guard your heart! Then God will bless your life, from the inside out.

Some of us are involved in health care. In our church, we have nurses and others who work at nearby hospitals or nursing homes. Health and wellness are their daily focus.
