     | 4,240 views

    Understand that Glory and Honor is from Him – it is derived; it is not intrinsic to us. We have no Glory, we have no status apart from what God has given us.

This Psalm of David begins and ends with the ...read more

    Abram settled his tents in the place that God had called him. From beginning to the end of this story, though he failed many times, he always built and alter to the Lord.

    As we spoke about Genesis 12 last week, we saw that there was a famine in the land and Abram took a natural, commonsensical path and made his way down to Egypt. While in Egypt, we didn’t see Abram erect monuments to or call upon his God - instead he took what he felt was the smartest, most ...read more

    Jesus Removes Our Fears

    Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Jun 6, 2024
     | 1,504 views

    When anxiety comes into our life, fear can slow down our steps and cause us to seek complacency rather than stepping out in faith. Where do you go to have your fear alleviated?

    Jesus Removes our Fears John 6:16-24 Matthew 14:25-33 Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor, and a young trainee were checking meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their truck at the end of the alley and worked their way to the other end. At the last house, a woman ...read more

    The Millennium And Final Judgment Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Aug 2, 2024
     | 733 views

    Satan is chained by circumstances. He has had no access to Heaven since his banishment and he can’t tempt anyone on earth because there is no one to tempt. The wicked are dead and the redeemed are in heaven. He just gets to wander around muttering to himself for 1000 years.

    August 03, 2024 The Battle of Armageddon results in total destruction. The earth resembles a vast battlefield – a desolate wilderness. The chaotic scene before John resembles Palestine during the Exile: Jeremiah 4:23-26 - I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; and at the ...read more

    2 of 6. The apostle Peter encouraged the Churches to bolster/strengthen their faith in Christ, in order to provide an abundant entrance to God’s kingdom. God’s people are obligated to further their faith. ?What does ‘Furthering Your Faith’ involve or entail? Furthering Your Faith involves...

    Psalm 118:1-29 gives us several practical instructions about praising God for his steadfast love.

    Contributed by Kevin Broyhill on Oct 4, 2024
     | 792 views

    In today's world, so many are left feeling empty and unfulfilled by the shallow versions of love society offers. In contrast, the book of Philemon introduces us to a different kind of love—agape love, a divine and selfless love that transforms hearts and relationships, offering true fulfillment.
