My God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 1, 2020

For many people, God is far away and is to be approached only at times of need or danger. However, that is far from the truth. God wants each of us to have a very personal relationship with Him. Here's a study on how we can call God as "My God". Be blessed abundantly.

We read in Psalm 91:1-2, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."” (ESV) The Psalmist had a personal relationship with God, and therefore could say of Him, ‘My ...read more

The Pharisee In Me

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 4, 2013

However, we will be attempting to wrestle with three areas of personal and corporate growth: pride, ...read more

It's Okay To Say No

Contributed by Christopher Lund on Dec 8, 2020

It can be hard to tell people "no", and sometimes we say "yes" when we don't actually mean it. But Jesus shows us how important "no" can be. From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEWRnuMvKY4

I think a lot of us can have a hard time saying "no" to people. We can be afraid that other people will be disappointed, or let down, or maybe not even like us as much anymore. Or we might feel guilty, guilty that someone else might have to help them instead of us, or that nobody will ...read more

Why The Bible Shows The Holy Spirit In Symbols? Series

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jul 7, 2023

A symbol is like a picture that speaks volumes about things that words cannot describe.

Sometimes people inadvertently deploy iconic expressions to cut short the necessity of employing so many words in tactful discussions. For example, people often say a picture is worth a thousand words. This expression immediately brings up the image that a picture can reveal more intimate details ...read more

God Loves Camping

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Oct 4, 2022

The best way to get to know God is by spending some alone time with Him. We see this is true for Bible characters who went "camping" and while they were alone, God met with them.

Honestly, I don’t like camping too much. I’m away from the comforts of home, living on simple food, risking my life with wild animals around, etc. I’m not an outdoor-type person. But did you know that God loves camping? Here in Genesis 28, Jacob goes camping while on the way to his Uncle Laban’s ...read more

The Choices We Make Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jun 7, 2025

In Colossians chapter 3, Paul tells us that there isn't a multitude of choices to be made, there are only two. Will your take off the old and put on the new. Or won't you
