    I have begun to realize that many in the Church today think they are Committed when in actuality they are only Involved. There is a big difference between the two.

Instead, they think of Little Cindy Lou Who and her family ...read more

    There have always been those who hated Christmas: the Grinches and the Ebenezer Scrouges; the Bertrand Russels and the Richard Dawkins; but the original Grinch, who lived in the days of the Lord Jesus, was King Herod. He really tried to get rid of Christmas!

    Journey Through Acts (Part 2) Series

     | 1,451 views

    As we study this snapshot of the early church life, a pattern emerges: they focused on gathering, on the Gospel, on goodwill and on glorifying God. Because the early church maintained this four-fold focus along their journey, God continually added to their number those who were being saved.

    The Journey: Following Jesus through Acts (2) Scott Bayles, pastor Scripture: Acts 2:42-47 Blooming Grove Christian Church: 7/3/2017 If you were with us last week, you know we began a ten-week journey through the book of Acts.

     | 994 views

    We need to praise God more than anyone else. As the Psalmist also declared, “Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?” (Ps. 113:5). Just for His promise, we could praise Him.

    “Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, ’Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast ...read more
