The Generous Life Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 18, 2014

Are you tight with your treasure? You’ll be tight with your heart as well. It’s the age old battle that we all fight… the battle between selfishness and generosity. Truly, it is more blessed to give generously than it is to receive.

Hurricane Florence And The Return Of Christ

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 27, 2018

Meteorologists aren't always right but when a disaster like Hurricane Florence is looming they will be sure to let you know. We as Christians should be expecting the return of Christ and the cooresponding Day of The LORD which will follow. We should be letting people know as well!

You Are God's Treasure

Contributed by Beulah Praiselin on Mar 26, 2017

Old Dogs And New Tricks Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Shallowness always leads to folly, but depth, when it is directed by wisdom, will lead to a life pleasing to God and appealing to man. Very seldom is a truly wise man proud. He is humbled because he knows so well how little he really knows.

Proverbs by their very nature are often paradoxical, and they often seem to contradict one another. They only do so, however, if we take them as absolutes which are true in every case. If we take them as stating a truth of a segment of reality, and not all of reality, we will see there are ...read more

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jan 26, 2020

Our theme this year is Powerful People and we are going to examine together how God works in and through ordinary people in a powerful way. Some of the people from the Bible we will look at are more well known than others. The Bible is a collection of 66 books and letters, 39 in the Old ...read more

Joseph Is Invited To Accept Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Dec 14, 2015

What Joseph received from God was no different than what we receive as well. He was invited to accept what God was doing and not to push against it. What God invites us to do is the same thing: To accept what He has to offer!

The Letter To Sardis

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 7, 2021

This will sit well with those who believe that you can lose your justification because of your actions. The belief of once saved always saved is clearly challenged in this letter. When one comes to be a disciple of Jesus Christ one must follow the words of Him.

The Letter to Sardis Revelation 3:1-6 Michael H. Koplitz The letter to the church at Sardis is a straightforward letter with very little symbolism. The one who holds the seven stars is Jesus Christ. We have read about this symbolism in earlier letters. The reference that is made to those who will ...read more
