    What Would Make Heaven Hell?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 26, 2025
     | 117 views

    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

    Sermon # 20 - God Will Make A Way Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 16, 2025

     | 811 views

    The Israelites were hemmed in from behind and before, and in such a critical situation they looked up to the Lord who intervened to bring a mighty deliverance. No matter what our fears or anxieties, let’s look up to Jesus who died to save us and lives to deliver us from all our fears.

    We read in Exodus 14:10, “When the Israelites saw the king and his army marching against them, they were terrified and cried out to the LORD for help.” (GNB) In this incidence, we see that multitudes of Israelites who were fleeing from Egypt were filled with dread, and they had every reason to do ...read more

    The misinformation about God unnecessarily makes many people far too afraid of Him when they should be seeking Him as their dearest friend.

    Do you remember how, one of the most unpleasant emotions you suffered as a kid was waiting to be punished? Do you remember that?
