    God allows thorns in our lives to refine us, to keep us humble, and to be sure He gets the glory for all we do.

    Children. They really are precious, and I really do love them, but the simple truth is, I have a really hard time being around them for any extended period of time. Which for me is anything over about three minutes.  I’m not sure what it is, maybe it’s the long running around ...read more

    When Jesus made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the people shouted five different statements of praise to God. We will look at each one and it's meaning.

    Everyone loves a parade! The community we lived in – in Vermont had a huge 4th of July parade. It was not too hot there to do a parade like it would be here.

    The silence of the church on key issues of our day is deafening. By remaining silent on these issues, for fear of controversy, the church unilaterally makes itself irrelevant.

     | 3,499 views

    As a young man I missed the point. I always said: LORD TEACH ME HOW TO PRAY... That is not what the disciples said: THEY SAID: LORD TEACH ME TO PRAY. Often, when all is said about prayer, more is said than done?

    LORD, TEACH ME TO PRAY… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com BY PRAYER… BUT THE LORD STOOD WITH ME… HE HELPED ME… JESUS GAVE ME STRENGTH… JESUS DELIVERED ME… 2 Timothy 4:17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, ...read more

    What Will You Gain? Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 11, 2023
     | 2,899 views

    There are two sharply contrasting philosophies of life. One is seen in the rich fool story. It is about going for what the world offers. The other philosophy of life is about going for what Christ offers. Our passage contrasts these two philosophies.

    What will you gain? Mark 8:34-38 The story is told of a rich farmer, his fields were particularly fruitful, so much so that there was not enough room to store everything. He tore down the barns and built new and bigger ones. After the new barns were built, he felt like he could sit back and ...read more

    Feeling unhappy and empty inside? Trying to find ways to fill those empty voids? Material possessions and wealth brings only temporary happiness. God, though, will fill your emptiness with eternal joy, love, and pleasure.

    Bible - Why Bother? #3 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 1, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,338 views

    The bible is the account, through poetry, history, song, prophecy, law, wisdom, gospel, letters, homilies of the History of God’s redemption in Christ, an invitation to life in Christ, and the promise of the future victory in Christ. God’s salvation in Jesus is the center of the entire story.

    Last week we focused what is the Bible and how should we interpret it. I put forth the scriptures are the inspired, authentic self-revelation of God and as such have primary and foundational authority in all matters of what we believe, what we value, and how we live. The week before, we focused on ...read more
