    "Christ" was not Jesus' last name. It was a description of WHO He was. So what does it mean that Jesus is the Christ, and what difference can that make in our lives?

    Our failures do not define us, but rather, they are opportunities for growth and deeper faith, and through the love and grace of Jesus Christ, we can rise above them and follow Him with courage and commitment.

    Good morning, church family! Today we're going to get real about something we've all faced - the sting of failure. Now, failure isn't something we like to talk about, especially in a church setting. We often feel like we have to put on a façade of perfection, but the reality is, we all stumble and ...read more

    Based on the Word of God no one can come to God except through Jesus (John 14:6) and no one can come to Jesus unless God draws them to Jesus (John 6:44). God does not operate within limitations and instead uses variety in drawing people to Jesus.

    Probably everyone reading this likes Jesus. We like the things he said, we like the things he did. In that sense, all of us could be considered fans of Jesus. However, to truly be a Christian requires more than being a fan of Jesus. He called people t

    Unlike the Pharisees, Jesus saw Matthew’s need, his worth and his potential. Matthew understood his own need, was willing to follow Christ and shared the Good News.

    How Are We To Know The Truth?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 9, 2023
     | 1,230 views

    The emphasis of Second John chapter 2 is on the basics of following Christ, of truth and love, and to warn against false teachers. We are not to just read the Word of God, but we are to obey it as well.

    When a believer knows how to walk in the truth, he or she should know how to act, should know what to do, is willing to learn, and is determined to do so. In verses 1-3: The “elder” is John, one of twelve disciples. He also is the author of the Gospel of John, the three epistles, and the book of ...read more
