    New Things

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 17, 2021
     | 4,070 views

    There is a certain excitement that comes with New Things. To some degree in our mind and hearts, we wipe from our mind and heart all the failures of the past year, all the heartaches and disappointments of the past year.

    Philippians 3:13-14; it takes a big person to know what to forget and what to remember. This being the first Sunday of the new year, I want to use the subject of the New Year for our message today. There is a certain excitement that comes with New Things. True of material things, car, clothes, ...read more

    Joy Is Restored Series

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 17, 2017
     | 12,159 views

    Sorrow is but for a time. The power of prayer, memories of God’s past healing and His loving-kindness sustain Israel. God heals the pain of the present in the same manner as He has healed the pain of the past.

We can manipulate circumstances to our own advantage to obtain what we think will bring happiness, or ...read more

    Life is filled with transitions—some welcomed, some unexpected. We can become so fixated on past experiences, whether victories or failures, that we struggle to move forward. But God calls us to embrace the new thing He is doing.
