     | 1,734 views

    The words "That year” should not be overlooked and hastily read because God’s plan is inside it, God would keep specific people in specific positions for His purpose, are you listening?

    This is heaven’s strategy! John 11:49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all”.. I am so excited about the above portion, especially the words “who was high priest that year”! Stay with me for a profound word.. “That year” should not ...read more

     | 1,242 views

    Where has church leadership failed? How should all pastors (shepherds) behave towards the flock of God? We look at Peter’s requirements for this high position. Remember the words “accountability to the Chief Shepherd”.

    Scandalous Grace Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Nov 17, 2025
     | 151 views

    Jesus urges His followers to be aware of stumbling blocks - whether they are in our path or blocks that we might place in the paths of others. He calls us to demonstrate radical forgiveness - modeled after his scandalous grace.

    In response to the ridicule of the Pharisees and their propensity to greed and service to mammon, Jesus turns aside to his disciples with some very important and challenging comments. He begins by noting that they and we should… Recognize Reality (1-3a) Luke 17:1 ESV And he said to his disciples, ...read more

    Don't Judge Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 5, 2022
     | 2,532 views

    God does not give human beings authority to judge the righteousness of others using our preferences as the standard. None of us are perfectly righteous ourselves. We are in no position to pronounce judgment because we can be guilty of sin.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 7:1-6 NIV (Don't Judge) 1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no ...read more

    He is aware that his motives are easily swayed by internal and external, positive and negative forces, that attempt to satisfy his desires. Therefore, he must be cognizant of the battle by directing his desire toward God.

    Well as we continue our path to discovering what it means to be a man of God, we are discussing the attributes of a man. And of course – we look at our model man, who is Jesus Christ. And as promised each time, we said we’d look at a – something that he told us to do, and something that he did as ...read more

    Advent reminds us that people have always waited on God. And so will we. Why? Because waiting plays an important role in our spiritual growth.

    Today is the first Sunday in the season of the Christian year called Advent. The word "Advent" simply means arrival, or coming, and so during the next four weeks we will be celebrating the arrival of Christ. During Advent, we look back at the time when God became an infant child, born in a stable ...read more
