Come Thirsty People

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Mar 20, 2025

This is a desperate call from a loving Father to come to him. There is a deep love in that call to get right with him and find him while he is still near.

We do not have the time to go through all the verses this morning but please join me as we look at a couple of them. Vs.1 says: “Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.” That is like a call from ...read more

Return For Revival

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 13, 2024

The invitation was to live in the ways of God. It was an invitation to come back to the ways that the people knew were right. When Hosea uses the words “let us”, he speaks in clear terms here to communicate that those who needed to return to the LORD were not alone.

OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video “RESTORED.” Israel had wondered far away from its place of origin. As if a child lost in a store, she is drawn away by delights of the eye, sensual insights and an overwhelming urgency to seek her own way. She awakens; finding herself tossed into the gutter of ...read more

Prophets In Our Lives

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 2, 2024

A true friend might try to tell me the truth, but I reject his words or her suggestions. Our friend is acting prophetically toward us. That is an act of love, real love.

Fourteenth Sunday in Course 2024 “Heed or resist, you rebels, you will know a prophet has been among you!” Today’s words from Ezekiel were not just for the Jewish leaders who had abandoned true worship of the One God, the Lord, for the obscene worship ceremonies centered around Baal and Astarte. ...read more

(Jonah’s Prayer) Introduction – A Strange Place to Pray The Bible contains some very peculiar verses, doesn’t it? And I must say, the story we’re looking at today begins and ends with two of the strangest. Jonah 2:1 — “From inside the fish Jonah prayed.” Jonah 2:10 — “And the Lord commanded the ...read more

Faulty But Blessed (1 Chronicles 14)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 15, 2025

Does God bless faulty but repentant people? What can we learn about God’s mercy and grace in his dealings with a very imperfect David? Let’s look at 1 Chronicles 14.

Born To Be Wild

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 19, 2025

Freedom without the Father ends in famine, but love runs wild—reclaiming every restless heart and restoring joy to the lost.

Introduction — The Song That Never Dies You’ve heard it — whether you meant to or not. At a car show, blasting through chrome fenders and candy-paint engines.

(From Bitter to Better While We Wait) There’s a tiny spacecraft drifting through darkness right now. You can’t see it with your eyes. No telescope can frame it.

What Would Make Heaven Hell?

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 26, 2025

Heaven is joy only for hearts transformed by Jesus. Without holiness, God’s presence becomes torment. Christ alone gives us a heart fit for heaven.

Heaven. The word alone sounds like comfort. Endless peace. Reunions. Rest. Joy without sorrow. Life without loss. Every funeral reminds us of it. Every aching heart hopes for it. If you asked the average person today what they believe about eternity, most would say something like, “Oh, sure, I ...read more

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

Jesus sees us hiding, calls us by name, invites Himself into our lives, and grace transforms what judgment never could.

Ain't It Th Pits?

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Oct 31, 2025

Have you ever been in a pit? I’ve been in trouble many times in my life, and I’ve experienced things that made me think I was in a pit.
