     | 4,015 views

    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.

    THE VALLEY IS A TEMPORARY PLACE Psalms 23:1-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR A man was thrown out of the breakroom, yesterday, at Walmart. They asked him what he was doing there. 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

    Two Kings (January 5, 2020)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 5, 2023
     | 1,459 views

    In today’s text we have the story of two kings who are poles apart. One is ruthless and his kingdom is fleeting and the other is God’s only begotten Son whose kingdom is forever (Luke 1:32- 33).

    Matthew 2:1-12  Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,  (2)  saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” ...read more

    Ruth And Naomi Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Dec 24, 2023
     | 3,108 views

    Ruth became the great grandmother of King David. She was in the family genealogy of Mary and Jesus. She experienced personal redemption and was part of the greatest redemption story of all history.

    You can’t make this story up. The story of Ruth is way too far-fetched to be manmade. The likely author of the book of Ruth is Samuel, who was a contemporary with Ruth as both lived in the days when judges ruled. There is just no way Samuel would come up with the idea on his own to include Ruth ...read more

    HoHum: The story is told of a woman who was saved later in life. Wanting to make up for lost time, she committed entire portions of Scripture to memory. She hid God’s Word deep in her heart. As the years passed by and her mind and eyes grew dim, many of these scriptures slipped from her memory. ...read more

    This shepherd was able to rejoice with his friends and neighbors because his lost sheep was found. He was overjoyed with the rescue of this one, lost sheep.

    Opening illustration: Did you ever have a kid in your neighborhood that always hid so good nobody could find him? We did. After a while we would give up on him and go off, leaving him to rot wherever he was. Soon or later he would show up all-mad because we didn’t keep looking for him. And we would ...read more

    I believe that there really is such a place for that kind of desperation in our lives today. However, most important is the discernment of what it is that we want for ourselves.
