    Mean Girls and Bullies Are a common theme in the movies and entertainment in part because… It is a part of human nature - to be accepted and to be close to people who can help us get ahead.

     | 2,067 views

    God’s desire is that we experience a fresh encounter with Him. But what does a fresh encounter look like? To answer this question let’s see what a fresh encounter with God looks like through Jesus’s letter to the Ephesian church and in the life of the prophet Isaiah.

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 30, 2024
     | 629 views

    Destruction And Deliverance: Dual Outcomes Of Sodom And Gomorrah Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 30, 2024
     | 1,023 views

    Here we see the dual outcomes of Sodom and Gomorrah - we see God’s judgment on sin and at the same time His mercy on Lot because God knows how to rescue the Godly from judgment.

    Last week we spoke from Genesis 18. We are reminded about how important our involvement is in the plan of God and how God works in and through our lives to accomplish His will. It’s amazing how Abraham spoke face-to-face with God and how he interceded for his nephew Lot and his family. Today we ...read more

    There is something in each of us that from time to time, makes us want to go back to the way things used to be. We reminisce and wish we could go back home. But, you can't go back.

    The New is Coming Isaiah 65:17-25 You know, Terri and I have gotten so sick and tired of all the things we were seeing and hearing coming through our television that we cancelled our expensive satellite subscription and purchased much cheaper subscriptions to Hulu and Amazon.

     | 2,815 views

    We can either live for Jesus or live for the pleasures of this world. Reading, memorizing, and meditating on God's word is not enough! To draw nearer to the Lord we simply must put His words into action by imitating those who imitate Christ!

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jun 19, 2023
     | 2,789 views

    If John the Baptist was on social media, what would he post? What would he share about himself? He might truly resonate with the song by Casting Crowns - "Nobody, Somebody, Everybody."

    I’m not very good at social media, but you probably already know that if you’re on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. I don’t post very often - except to give away bread. When I do, I don’t take very good pictures - in fact I sometimes re-do old pictures - especially of bread. I suppose in some ...read more

    Progressive Christianity In Scripture

     | 3,810 views

    Under the cover of social justice and love, the Progressive Christianity movement rejects New Testament doctrine, substituting its own standards for the moral standards taught by the apostles. This message addresses the error and calls God's people to remain true to Traditional Christianity.

    Intro Today we will address a popular movement known as Progressive Christianity. Its adherents describe this movement as being “characterized by a willingness to question tradition, acceptance of human diversity, a strong emphasis on social justice and care for the poor and the oppressed, and ...read more

    The unpardonable sin. That word is scary, isn’t it? Unpardonable! It’s not something that you normally hear in connection with God, is it?

    Let’s leave behind our pride and our thoughts about ourselves and witness the glory of the One and Only—God’s Son—who became human to give us life, and light, and hope. The baby in the manger wants us to have these blessings. May we see the hidden glory of God's Son!

    You can still go to Bethlehem. Even though it has been over 2000 years since the first Christmas we could get on an airplane and fly to Israel and travel to the town where Jesus was born.
