    The valleys of life are not dead-end streets, because God provides a way for us to get through. This is a rewrite of Spencer Miller’s great message.

He told them he was on a break. They said, “But you don’t work here.” He said, “Notice: I just finished using self-check-out, ...read more

    How many here can say they know their place and part in God’s story and are living it out? Why do you think you are where you are today?

    How many here have attempted to trace your family heritage, maybe asked your relatives about your great grandfather or great grandmother, great aunts and uncles?

    Sometimes, we do not have a right perspective of the Christian life because we do not have God where He belongs in our lives. He is not in His proper place.

     | 311 views

    In this journey of faith there are three places that we can find ourselves in – a place of bondage, a place of wandering or a place of promise. Each of us can introspect to see where we are and move forward in faith to reach the place of promise, to fulfill God’s purposes

    Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 21:43, “So the LORD gave all of the land to Israel that he had promised to give their ancestors, and they took possession and settled there in it.” (ERV) The Lord gave the people of Israel the land that he had promised to their ancestors, and they duly took ...read more

    When trying to start a new church, we often think we should send church planters to the largest populated areas. However, both John the Baptist and Jesus preached in the wilderness, and people came to them where they were!

    I have entitled our message for this evening, “God Abides in Small Places.” Abide means, to dwell and to continue in a place. The Lord can be found abiding – and alive and well – in small places; and it is very important for us to be reminded of this fact because of America’s belief that “bigger ...read more

    The miracle of feeding the 5,000 underlines God’s grace as he provides for all our needs.

    Prioritize. That’s what we’re all instructed to do in this busy world. As we make our lifestyles more convenient, the more demands we place on ourselves, and we find our lives become more frantic. So, we are called to prioritize – to convert our activities into a sort of Top 10 list -- picking ...read more

    Looking For God In The Wrong Places

     | 8,983 views

    The sermon focuses on the unimpressive sign the angels point to: a baby in a manger. Not much that's flashy about that. What are the ways that God comes into our lives that don't initially look impressive but are important and meaningful.

    That’s All You’ve Got? Taken at face value, the angel’s sign is pretty unimpressive. - Luke 2:12. - Luke 4:17-21; Luke 4:41; Luke 5:14; Luke 13:18-21; 1 Corinthians 1:26-30. - We get entranced by the Christmas story and the swaddling clothes and manger and don’t see it for what it is.

    How did a book like Ecclesiastes get in the Bible? Did someone make a mistake, do you think? I don’t know about you but I find the beginning of the book a bit depressing.
