    Cheap Talk And Free Speech Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,704 views

    Words have power. And whether that power accomplishes good or evil depends on where it comes from, and what it is intended to do.

    “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” You’ve all heard that saying, haven’t you? We’ve probably all used it, in fact - usually when a child comes home from school upset because someone called her a bad name. We do distinguish between words and actions. That is what ...read more

     | 5,608 views

    With all the horror stories played out at Halloween, the scariest story of all is found in the Bible.

    Did you enjoy the music that was playing when you came in? Were you looking over your shoulders for Jason or Michael Myers? Was Freddy Krugger stalking you? All of these of course were characters from famous horror films. We love to be frightened. Last week we went to Scarowinds on Friday night. ...read more

    The word “REGARD” or the word “FAVOR” in Hebrew means, “paid attention to.” God paid attention to Abel’s offering but Cain’s offering he did not pay attention to.

    GENESIS 4:1-11 NASB Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have gotten a man-child with the help of the Lord.”  2 Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel.

    When The Kingdom Seems Unimpressive Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 19, 2025
     | 146 views

    The parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the yeast point us to a truth that's uncomfortable at first: the Kingdom might not look that impressive the first time you look at it.

    As a Christian, what would you do if Jesus came to your door? What would you do with Him? Hebrews 12 addresses that issue by telling us things we could do honor Jesus if He knocked on our door and asked to come in.

    OPEN: Back in the 1960s the Beetles were becoming international sensation.
