    JUST AS A SHEPHERD LEADS HIS SHEEP TO STILL WATERS AND GREEN PASTURES TO PROVIDE FOR AND PROTECT THEM SO THAT THEY CAN GROW TO MATURITY, SO TOO DOES THE "GOOD SHEPHERD" PROVIDE AND PROTECT HIS FLOCK SO THAT THEY CAN GROW INTO SPIRITUAL MATURITY.

    Discontented Series

    Contributed by Rick Stacy on Dec 2, 2014
     | 5,033 views

    Most people will agree in principle that the one who gives is more blessed than the one who receives. But they still struggle with giving – often because they can’t give. They have too many bills and are struggling to get by.

    Satisfied. Last Sunday I began a series of messages called “Satisfied.” that is about money – except it’s not really about money. It’s about life. In that message I pointed out three lies that sounded like truths and three truths that sounded like lies. Three lies The ...read more

    Many people today claim to be Christians yet have no idea what that really means. All too often we have stripped Christianity of all its content and meaning in an attempt to win converts. But Christianity does have content. Its content is the Gospel and t

    I read the transcript of an interesting interview this week. The religion reporter from a newspaper was asking a person in her town about his faith. But what was interesting was that she didn’t just ask a couple of basic questions. She started off by asking him point blank what he believed. And ...read more

    Sermon # 8 - Grace, Justice And Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 333 views

    It is true that God is gracious, but it is equally true that God is just and righteous too. This was perfectly demonstrated by Jesus when He paid the penalty for the sins of all mankind on the cross of Calvary. Those who believe on the Lord Jesus will enjoy His grace and live in His righteousness.

    We read in Jeremiah 9:24, “If any want to boast, they should boast that they know and understand me, because my love is constant, and I do what is just and right. These are the things that please me. I, the LORD, have spoken.”(GNB) If anyone in this world would like to boast about something, he ...read more

    Although facing great adversity, Paul had learned to be content. The Lord had been faithful to provide the strength he needed to endure whatever trials or difficulties he faced. We too can learn contentment and receive strength for our trials.

    Peace through Contentment Philippians 4: 10-13 Our text today offers a compelling and intimate look within the heart of Paul. This letter to the Philippian church was penned from a Roman prison. Paul was bound, and unable to minister freely as he once did. The possibility of execution loomed each ...read more

    As Jesus sent the twelve out to serve, He paired them according to His divine will and sent them out as He desired. They enjoyed His power and guidance. We too can rest in His power and provision as we seek to serve Him.

    Separated and Sent to Serve Mark 6: 7-13 Today we come to what must have been an exciting and yet anxious time in the life of the disciples. They have been walking with Jesus for some time now, watching and learning from Him. While they have experienced much in their time with the Lord, Jesus had ...read more

    Just as Josiah discovered God’s Word and demanded to know what it said in order to follow it. So too, today, are we as a church of God expected to discover God’s Word in this house and make it the only Rule of our Faith and Practice.

    A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 17, 2020
     | 4,758 views

    The call by God for Jonah to go to Nineveh to preach is a call which confronts Jonah with a disturbing dynamic of God’s unanticipated mercy. Jonah finds this call too disturbing so he goes in the opposite direction to run away from the call of God.

    Message Jonah 1:1-3 A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God I don’t have definitive proof but it would be my educated opinion that the story of Jonah … specifically the part where Jonah is swallowed by a large fish or whale … is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible.
