    Convictions guide our decisions and determine our character. In order to live a godly life, we must have strong biblical values. With a firm foundation based on God's Word, we're ready to face whatever challenges come our way.

    It’s a shame as Christians that we actually need policies at work for us to either stop swearing, stop lying, stop stealing etc etc. We fear our bosses more than we fear the Lord King David said Lord I have kept your word within my heart so that I may not sin against you. Every natural ...read more

    We Must Obey God Rather Than Men

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 18, 2026
     | 569 views

    As our world, and nation, become increasingly hostile to faith, we may face a hard choice: obey orders from human authorities which conflict with God’s Law, or disobey and face the consequences. This sermon looks at three scenarios in Daniel and draws lessons for us today.

    This morning, This morning, I’d like to address a concern that many of us have as we read and watch the news, as we observe the changes taking place in the world, and specifically in what used to be considered Christian nations. And what we are seeing is a growing hostility to Christian witness and ...read more

    Daniel: A Man Of No Compromise Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 17, 2023
     | 5,336 views

    Daniel’s life from teenager to old man is an example of no compromise. He was not bent by outside pressures. What Daniel did or did not do was determined by his inward convictions and not the outward situations.

    Daniel: A Man of No Compromise Daniel 1 We often associate Daniel with the lion’s den. When we do that, we are looking at Daniel when he was an old man. He was a senior adult when he was thrown in the lion’s den. This account of Daniel where he is thrown in the fiery furnace is when he was a ...read more

    If we want to engage and influence a post-Christian culture which no longer shares our values, we must recognize that God is sovereign, resolve to obey God, and relate to unbelievers with respect.
