Following His Steps

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 15, 2022

PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HOPEFUL. 1 John 3:1-3. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 John 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other ...read more

Ruth, Boaz And Redemption Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 7, 2024

How To Please God

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 23, 2023

We can’t live up to our own expectations any more than we can live up to everyone else’s demands. For a Christian, the goal is not to please self, but to please God.

A New King Series

Contributed by Scott Jewell on Jun 1, 2024

Despite his faults, God chose David to be king, a man after God's own heart. How does David point us to Jesus and what does this mean for us today?

As part of my sermon research this week, I had to watch the movie Rudy. As you may know, it’s about a young man who dreamed of playing football for Notre Dame. Most people had written him off- he was too small, he didn’t have the grades to go to college, and even if he did, he couldn’t afford the ...read more

Why Paul Wanted To Send Timothy

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Apr 25, 2025
