    Cain And Abel Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 7, 2024
     | 1,796 views

    Even though Abel’s life was short, his faith still speaks. Abel’s blood calls out for justice from God. Our own sin demands justice from God, and it was our sin that put Jesus on the cross. Yet the blood of Jesus speaks a better message. A message of mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation and salvation.

    As we continue in our Dust to Life series, we will be looking at Genesis chapter 4 today, the account of the first two brothers in human history: Cain and Abel. Genesis 4:1-16 1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have obtained a ...read more

    4 of 10. The apostle Peter informs those who are faithful in Christ, that they are amply supplied for godly living. God’s people are amply supplied for godly living thru their faith. But, ?What does Christian faith acquire for God’s people? A provision of God, acquired thru faith in Jesus, is...

    The Return Of Jesus: A Shining Sun In Our Christian Sky Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 12, 2024
     | 1,007 views

    The word tells us not to grieve for the dead in Christ like the rest of the world. Because though the world doesn’t have hope, we have an eternal hope. It’s bright and it’s shining, it’s strong and consistent, much like Earth’s sun. It shines day and night. Whether we see it or not, it keeps shining

    When talking about a vision from God, we have to understand that we can't take it at the same level as scripture. It's a testimony, a vision, something we test against the word of God and prayer. But I sensed God asking me to share a bit of this testimony. I had a vision from God when I ...read more

    We have a mighty God who can turn things around overnight. If only we can trust God and commit everything to Him in prayer, we will experience God’s miraculous intervention in our seemingly impossible situations.

    We read in Genesis 19:27-28, “Early the next morning Abraham hurried to the place where he had stood in the presence of the LORD. He looked down at Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole valley and saw rising from the land, like smoke from a huge furnace.” (GNB) God had revealed to Abraham that He was ...read more

    Nothing You Can Do To Make God Love You More Or Less

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 25, 2024
     | 2,460 views

    Recently I have been hearing quite a few pastors using a quote from Henri Nouwen a Dutch Catholic priest that states, “There is nothing we can do to make God love us more and nothing we can do to make God love us less.” Is that true? Let's see what God's Word has to say about it.

    Do you have a Bible? I was once told that in a simple Bible with no maps, no apocrypha and no commentary you would find the Psalms in the center of the Bible. So, I thought maybe it would be Psalm 119 since it has 174 verses and is the longest chapter in the Bible. However, in my Bible it turns out ...read more

    As we continue in our series on Jesus' letters to the seven churches, we find ourselves looking at the words Jesus has to say to the church in Thyatira, how they have some good things, but they tolerate false teachings in the church.

    Good morning, beloved congregation! It's a joy to be here with you, standing on the solid ground of God's truth, ready to open His Word together. We are not here by accident, but by divine appointment. And we are not here to hear the words of a man, but to hear from the God who fashioned ...read more

    America has turned its back on the God of the Bible. There are so many religions and beliefs in our country today. The only God America has rejected is the God of the Bible. The Ten Commandments are the very soul of America. This is why the Ten Commandments are so important to the people of God.

    If you have your Bible, turn to Exodus chapter 20. Today, we are going to begin a sermon series called, "The Ten Commandments: The Soul of America", starting with the message, "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods". America has turned its back on the God of the Bible. There are so many ...read more
