How is the life of God formed in the heart of man?

"My little children, for whom I am again in anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you." God calling to himself those chosen to be his very own is a pervading theme in Scripture.

"Our Identity In Christ (Iv): We Are Children Of God”

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021

Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the fourth sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

Many in the younger generation suffer from identity confusion. When we ask them “Who are you?” they cannot answer. They do not know where their value comes from. Some even question the most basic things about themselves, like those who suffer from gender dysphoria and do not know whether they are ...read more

The Bridge Of Reconciliation Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

It is finished, said Jesus. The cross was a success, and God in Christ did build a bridge which reconciled the world to Himself. The fact is, however, that this bridge, like any other bridge, only has value as it is crossed.

One of the 7 wonders of the natural world is the famous Natural Bridge of Virginia. Tons of solid rock form a bridge over a creek 215 feet below. This massive masterpiece of God's bridge-building skill has caused many to stand in awe and recognize that, not only the heavens, but the earth as ...read more

The Fear Of God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The word fear in relation to God can mean very opposite things. There is a fear of God which is terror at his might and wrath, and there is a fear of God which is reverence, or worship. There is still another which is knowledge and wisdom of God.

We live in a world where words are weapons. Someone said, "Words are weapons and we must wield them well if we would win." Much of the success of cons and cults is the direct result of their clever use of words. So many arguments are often based on a perverted manipulation of words, but ...read more

A Safe Place To Come Close

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019

Humility and gentleness are keys for creating a church fellowship where people feel safe to come close to one another.
