    Each Christian has likely struggled with doubts at one time or another. God's Word is given not only to reveal the Father, but to encourage us that we are accepted in the Beloved Son as we believe Him.

    “Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, ‘We have seen the Lord.’ But he said to them, ‘Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will ...read more

    Was Mary willing to receive Divine seed or was she assaulted by God?

    Luke 1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

    A great witness demands unity of the body and acceptance of one another as Christ's heirs.

    We began a conversation 5 weeks ago about what gives us meaning in this life and I suggested that the question is actually a mute point for those who call themselves Christian because if we believe that Christ came, died and rose again then we must also live out this reality. To live out this ...read more

    God is speaking to us through our worship, in the songs we sing, the Scriptures read and the message delivered. What you will walk away with will be determined by how well you listen to God. What is necessary to listen well?

    Listening to God I Samuel 3:1-10 Charles Stanley in a sermon from Nehemiah once asked, “How is it that two people can sit in the same pew, hear the same sermon about the same portion of Scripture, and walk away with two different reactions?

    The Joy Of Giving Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 29, 2023
     | 2,608 views

    The book of Philippians is, to a large extent, a thank you note from Paul to the church for their financial gift. We find that it is not only the one who receives the gift who is blessed, but the ones who gives the gift are greatly blessed.

    Philippians is considered the epistle of joy. That is because there are so many references to joy and rejoicing (over 15). There are so many references that are so prominent that Joy is considered the theme of the letter. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice. (Philippians ...read more
