Open My Eyes

Contributed by John Beehler on Apr 10, 2002

Our eyes are opened in the breaking of the bread

Feel My Pain Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 14, 2001

Jabez’ name meant "giver of pain" and that may have been part of the reason he prayed as he did. To whom do we give pain and how should that influence our prayers?

Years ago, Johnny Cash sang a song that began with these verses: "My daddy left home when I was 3 and he didn’t leave much to ma and me… just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.

My All Is On The Altar

Contributed by Norm Beckett on Sep 10, 2001

How our offerings are pleasing to the Lord!

MY ALL IS ON THE ALTAR “And the priest is to burn all of it on the altar” (Leviticus 1: 9). The sacrificial system of the Old Testament seems so far removed from us today.

The Source of My Hope Psalm 73 I heard on the news this past week that one of the outcomes of what has happened since the September 11th attack on America has been a rush on bookstores around the country. The sale of Bibles is up and that is good news. Alongside of this good news is the report that ...read more

Pierce My Ear

Contributed by Phil Morgan on Nov 19, 2001

God is looking for a people who serve Him freely; who worship Him voluntarily; who love Him as a reflex of the heart. NOT because they cannot choose anything else, but because they decide FOR Him. No other voice can truly tell how great and worthy God is

“Pierce My Ear” On the last two Sunday mornings I’ve been talking to you about our freedom in Christ.
