    Crossing the Jordan on dry ground during flood stage was a great moment in the history of Israel. It was marked as an occasion not soon to be forgotten. When God manifests himself then make a marker in your life. A great spiritual experience is to chart the miracles God has done in your life.

    There are some things you just don’t want to forget. If you win a sporting event you have a trophy to stand as a tangible reminder of that accomplishment. When you graduate you receive a diploma to frame and put on your wall. That diploma represents great expenditures of time and money. With ...read more

    TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:7 TITLE: TRAIN YOURSELF TO BE GODLY The apostle Paul did not take for granted the godliness of his spiritual son Timothy.

    Alternative Creation Theory No. 1: Theistic Evolution

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 15, 2023
     | 1,159 views

    The first theory of creation apart from Scripture teaches that God used evolution as part of the creative process. Is this a viable explanation for our origins? What does science and the Bible have to say about this idea?

    Our look at the first of the four alternative theories to the biblical account of creation begins with what I would refer to as a philosophical mix of oil and water. On the surface, this theory might sound feasible for those who worship at the altar of reason and compromise, but it falls short ...read more

This happened so that God’s mighty works might be displayed in him. While I am in the world, I ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,162 views

    This sermon looks at both what it means, and also what it does not mean, for us to take up our cross for Jesus.

    Jesus said to his disciples and to the crowd following him, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (8:34). It’s hard for us to hear those words in the same way that those following Jesus heard it. The context is that Peter has just recognised that ...read more
