    Jesus gives us lots of opportunities to join him

    John 21:1-19 This story of the final appearance of Jesus to his disciples took place a couple weeks after Easter; the disciples seemed at wit’s end… Jesus has died, they were not really sure about the resurrection (even though they have seen the risen Christ once or twice).

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com TEXT: 1 Peter 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it PATIENTLY?

    An opportunity to turn back to the God who awaits you.

    “Sold as Slaves to Sin” John 1:29 It doesn’t seem like we hear people talk much about sin anymore. I know it can be a downer of a subject, and we don’t want to over-dwell on it, but we certainly don’t want to pretend it doesn’t exist. I know it exists in my heart, in my life. I know I have ...read more

    When God begins to bless you with new opportunities for ministry.

    We are continuing in January with a church wide emphasis on increasing our prayer lives. “The one concern of the Devil is to keep the saints from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, he mocks our wisdom, but he ...read more

    For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 5:13

    Joseph Of Arimathea: A Cowardish And Blessed Man

    While Jesus was still alive, Joseph did nothing for Jesus. However, at the right time, when he only had three hours before the Sabbath, he could take care of Jesus’ body.

    The story of Jesus’ death and burial that we will discuss today is recorded in all four Gospels. This shows the significance of this event. Let’s read Mark 15:33-47. Verse 33 – “At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.” Jesus was crucified at nine in the morning. ...read more

    The early church faced great adversity, but also enjoyed a tremendous opportunity to share the Gospel. We too must seek out opportunities to be an effective witness, putting our faith on display.

    Putting our Faith on Display 1 Peter 3: 8-11 As we continue our series in 1 Peter, we need to be reminded of the volatile environment in which the believers existed. Sever persecution had forced many of them from their homes in and around Jerusalem. They were scattered throughout various regions ...read more

    REWARDS IN HEAVEN. Somehow that seems wrong to me. Surely heaven is enough reward and besides, if all sin is regarded as the same and deserving of hell, how can good deeds then be rated on a scale, and rewarded accordingly?

    Matthew 6 – Part 1 – FORGET THE REWARDS, I’LL DO IT FOR FREE! Everywhere I look people offer me rewards if I buy this or shop at their store, or buy petrol at certain petrol stations. I am rewarded on my credit card if I buy a certain amount using their card. People at the Super ...read more

    You don't have to be a theological scholar to figure out what God expects of those who follow Jesus. He made it really clear. Take care of those who are in need in Jesus Name because you love God and you love people.

    What followers of Jesus call the providence of God the world calls coincidence. I have so many stories about how God's providence showed up in our life just when we needed it to. I'm sure you have some, too. Kristi and I marvel at how God has provided for us in various ways through the years; an ...read more

    How To Have A Death Proof Ministry Acts 6:8-15 (January 2023) There are certain people throughout the history of this church who have left a lasting legacy.
