    If your week has felt heavy, if your heart has carried more sighs than songs, you are in the right place. You didn’t stumble in here by accident. The God who sees you also speaks to you, and His voice carries comfort that steadies the soul. He has a word for the weary and a lift for the lowly. He ...read more

    God’s time is always the best time, even if it does not seem so to us.

    PERFECT TIMING? Have you ever heard the saying, “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans”? You know, often we kind of have things all mapped out, what we want, what we plan to do, and then life happens and our course is changed. Or sometimes, if we are so bent on what we have ...read more

    God's Grief Vs. Man's Grief Series

    based on 67 ratings
     | 20,222 views

    God’s grief is not only the response of his heart to the arrows of pain that wound us. God himself is wounded by the separation caused by death. Death interrupts God’s own conversation with his child. When it comes to enduring pain, God asks nothing of us

    We come here today pay our respect to ( ), and to comfort members of the family and friends. We belong to a larger family, the family of believers in Jesus Christ, the conqueror of death. And this is the hour when our belief in Him is tested. This is the moment when our declared personal ...read more

    Lent 5 (A) The Christ of the resurrection of the Last Day is one and the same Christ who is on the road of life with us now.

    Reluctant Recruits

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 1, 2018
     | 8,908 views

    Jesus did not present a rosy, unrealistic picture of the Christian life. In Luke 9 we encounter 3 potential recruits. Jesus appraises their resolve, exposes their excuses, and urges them to consider the cost of discipleship

    It’s Career Day at the high school and a small crowd is gathered at the Army’s booth. A Recruiter tells the students about field duty in the winter, eating MRE’s, family separations, grueling physical exercise, frequent moves, and the likelihood of war…and pretty soon he’s standing alone.
