    The sermon encourages vigilance and reliance on Christ’s love and strength to withstand spiritual adversity, reminding us we are never alone or unloved.

    1 Peter 5:8 (ESV): "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Friends, pull your chair up to the table of God’s Word and take a deep breath. The world is loud, and some days the noise sounds like a growl you can’t quite ...read more

    When God rises in our lives through prayer, fear and troubles scatter, and His presence brings peace, joy, and hope to our hearts.

    Some mornings feel heavier than others, don’t they? The alarm sounds, the headlines scream, the to-do list grows, and your heart whispers, “Lord, I could use some help here.” You’re not asking for fireworks. You’re asking for a Father. You’re asking for a God who stands up in the storm and says, ...read more

    Continuing this journey of transformation God has called us too. This week we’ll be looking at ourselves and the church as being the Bride of Christ, and the betrothal process where our desire is to know Jesus even better and start to change into those men and women of God He has called us to be.

    Legal Counsel For Christians Series

     | 2,034 views

    Jesus provides counsel on domestic disputes, sex crimes, adultery and divorce; and He even says something that can be applied to swearing on the Bible in a court of law. Jesus, being part of the court of heaven, knows about legal matters!

    I have entitled our message for this morning, “Legal Counsel for Christians.” You may not realize it, but the Bible is full of courtroom imagery. The most noteworthy example is the great white throne of judgement seen in the book of Revelation (20:11-15). Did you know that Jesus will be there ...read more

    Paul writes to an audience steeped in the Greco-Roman culture. The message is a call to transform their minds, avoid the cultural influences that pull them away from the call of Jesus. He calls them to an exemplary lifestyle.

    While in Louisiana for the memorial service for her brother, we drove by a home we built while working as an engineer on the railroad. The home was a super nice home with 3,000 sq ft. On previous trips we witnessed it was empty and deteriorating. This time we were shocked; I wish I could show you ...read more

    Have you ever thought about what it would be like to see and talk to the President of the United States?

    This would be a great honor if you were Democrat, Republican or independent. But to see him this could prove to be a very difficult assignment, if not impossible! • You would have to first get through some of the tightest security in the U.S. • Even if you did get past them you would have to ...read more

    While all of us come to faith from a variety of different circumstances, the calling of Simon helps us to see that there are some commonalities among all conversions

    When you and I come to faith in Jesus Christ, we do so from a variety of different circumstances. Some are younger (I was 5). Some are older - I know a woman who was in her late 80s when she came to faith. Some have lived simple lives, others have lived rather rambunctiously. Some have come ...read more

    When People See Me - What Do They See?

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Sep 16, 2024
     | 2,849 views

    When people see us they immediately develop impressions of us. If we are a Christian, they will begin to look for Jesus in us. When that happens, will they see Him in our actions; our decisions; and our love for others?

    When People See Me – What Do They See? Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43; John 13:34-35 Good morning Strangers Rest. The title of my message today is, “When People See Me – What Do They See?” Now of course the obvious answer is they see us right? But is that true? Do they see “us,” or do they ...read more
