Martha, Lazarus, and Mary each model a discipleship verb. Together, they paint a picture of a true disciple.
Two weeks ago, everything changed in the gospel of John. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, in the full sight of a large group of Judeans. And when the Judeans saw this, "many" gave their allegiance to Jesus. In an instant, they moved from being stubborn, and hard-hearted, and ...read more

God often does the unexpected when we’re earnest in prayer.
A week ago, I listened to the Voice of the Martyr’s podcast called VOM Radio and learned about Petr Jasek, a believer from the Czech Republic, who was imprisoned in Sudan for 14 months.

God has placed you to live out your purpose in this place for His pleasure.
The Bible lists 59 “One Another” statements, showing how God expects us to behave toward other believers. In fact, it’s impossible to live this out unless we are in community with Christians. In a culture filled with vitriol and anger, Christ-followers are to live and love like Jesus. Today, ...read more
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:14-26
In this message, we will learn about how to remain in the safe place always, by being engraved in the palm of His hands enjoying His care and protection rather than to fall into the hands of the living God receiving His wrath and judgment.
Today, we are going to talk about the mighty hands of God. In fact, there are approx. 122 Bible references concerning His hands. Most of these passages talk about the hand of God involved in the creation of the world. But one of my favorite verses that talks about His hand is found in Isaiah 49:16 ...read more

Scripture: Nehemiah 2:11-20
The sermon emphasizes that our true purpose is to know God personally, trusting Jesus as our Shepherd who lovingly guides, protects, and restores us.
Some of us walked in today with a knot in the stomach and a prayer on the lips. Bills on the counter. Headlines on the phone. A diagnosis pending. A family strained. And yet, here we are, in a quiet room with a God who isn’t quiet about His love. He speaks. He calls. He carries. He cares. He’s not ...read more

Answers to three questions: What is coveting? Why is it bad? How can we be free from it?
There’s a new religious cult in our community, and most of us haven’t even noticed it. This cult is far larger than the ones you’ve heard about on the radio or read about in most books about cults.

Maybe our problem is that our egos have been inflated by the position that we hold that we have become not servants but members of a serve-me-please pharisaical class of clergy.

The minister asked her what the sin was. She answered, “The sin of pride, for I sat ...read more
