    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 11, 2023
     | 3,187 views

    We must remember that building any physical structure is a tool to build the church spiritually. You should know the Bible has a lot to say about building the church spiritually too.

    Our church has been thinking a lot about our new building in our new location. Since the month of May three hundred loads of dirt has been delivered to prepare the lot. A foundation has been poured. Volunteers have worked security at the site around the clock. So many of us have given ...read more

    There are appropriate and inappropriate times and ways to judge others. Christ though instructs his disciples to pay more attention to their own faults than to the judging the faults of others.

    GUILTY AS SIN the headline read just a few years ago. The banks in New Jersey had been robbed systematically, one after the other. What made the robber stand out was his politeness. He just gave the tellers a note which said, “Please place your money in this bag. Thank you.” The newspapers ...read more

    Part 5 of a series entitled "Insights from the Life of David"

    Why is it such a compliment to tell a woman she looks like a breath of spring, but not to tell her she looks like the end of hard winter? Isn’t it the same thing? Why does it please a woman to say time stands still when you look into her face, but not to say her face would stop a clock? Why do ...read more

    Something Is Rotten In Jesse's House (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 5, 2016
     | 10,078 views

    Only God sees the genuine qualities on the inside of each of us. When looking for a partner whether in business or relationships, desire God's discernment. Never choose based on sight. In spite of David's hidden qualities, he is rejected in his own house.

    Series: David - A Man After God¡¦s Own Heart: Part 3: Something¡¦s Rotten In Jesse¡¦s Family (2) 1 SAMUEL 16:1 1 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the ...read more

    Our Small Minds And The Cost Of Discipleship Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 29, 2022
     | 1,637 views

    Jesus Christ, son of God and son of man, appears in our midst and when He does, we count the cost of discipleship to Him and often pass up the opportunity.

    Monday of 4th Week In Course To be frank, David messed up, and messed up royally. He did only one thing right in getting involved with Bathsheba. He acknowledged and repented of his royal, deadly sin. And he was forgiven, but that was not the end of the story. He and Bathsheba lost their child, as ...read more

    Circumcision Of The Heart

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 26, 2021
     | 1,827 views

    It is not that belonging to the visible community of God’s people is unimportant. It is. But salvation is not won by any external associations. When we depend on such things, we become less than what God wants us to be.

    Alba 7-25-2021 CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART Romans 2:25-29 There is that old saying, “Do as I say, not as I do.” That doesn’t really work does it? Lately we have had some politicians live by that motto. They gave various restrictions for their communities, but didn't live by them, themselves. ...read more

    It's Not What You Know

    Contributed by Greg Carr on Jul 6, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,792 views

    Religion has been described as following a set pattern of dos and don’ts, an outward expression with no inward authenticity, or the human effort to reach God. Religion knows about God without knowing Him.

    At about the end of May and the first part of June hundreds of thousands of students walk across stages and platforms to receive a diploma. This is something they have been working hard for. During the WMU graduation on May 21, Mr. Probasko’s last statements to the class of 2006 was, “Would the ...read more

    Have you ever felt like a spiritual hypocrite? Good news… Jesus understands… and he came not to condemn us… but to call us out… from outward religion to real life and relationship with God.

    Faith To Heal Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 8,436 views

    The key to faith is in Jesus. His presence with the disciples is what matters. His call is to keep trusting, to keep focusing on him rather than on outward circumstances. Don’t be afraid, just believe.

    If you were here last week you may remember that I asked whether you have trouble believing that God still intervenes in the world in a miraculous way. Well, a similar question arises today. Not whether you believe that God can answer your prayers, rather do you believe that he will answer your ...read more

    Holiness In Worship Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 28, 2025
     | 607 views

    Worship is the highest form of reverence and adoration we can give to God. Holiness in worship is not only about the outward acts, such as singing or kneeling, but it is also about the condition of our hearts and the purity of our intentions.

    Title: HOLINESS IN WORSHIP By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Hebrews 12:28 “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.” Supporting Texts: John 4:23-24 Romans 12:1 Psalm 29:2 Psalm 99:9 1 Peter ...read more

    Death From Christians Perspective Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 22, 2021
     | 3,205 views

    Some deaths people treat as a “tragic end”, but for some deaths, people say “well-earned rest”. Our judgments are not true because those are based on outward known deeds. Death reveals mysteries.

    Message for Memorial Day – Theme: DEATH in Christian Perspective Text: 1 Corinthians 15:56 The Diagnosis A woman accompanied her husband to visit a doctor. After his check-up, the doctor called the wife into his chamber. He said, "If you don't do the following, your husband will surely ...read more

    To show that we need to live lives in an unclean world. James 1:27 (Amplified Bible) External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,428 views

    Is revival the result of the outward things we do such as elaborate programs and new flashy buildings? Or is it the result of the inward man and what is happening inside us spiritually? What must happen before God’s presence will come?

    If you have ever seen the Universal Studios movie “Field of Dreams” then you will more than likely recall that unforgettable scene where Ray Kinsella (played by Kevin Costner) is standing in the middle of a cornfield when he hears a voice say to him, “If you build it, he will come.” Ray then ...read more
