Is The Christmas Season Orderly

Contributed by Jason Jones on Jun 10, 2024

A Study Of Psalm 19 And 20 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 6, 2017

Why don’t we trust God to do what only He can do? He is either a God we can surrender completely too, or He is unreliable, incapable, and ineffective at managing your life. What say you? Will you praise and serve Him?

A Study Of Psalm 22 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 9, 2017

Psalm 22 is an amazing piece of literature. The way David writes this, you’d almost think he was standing at the cross because these events never took place in David's life, but instead were written 1,000 years before Christ's birth. Praise God!

Good Grief

Contributed by Brady Boyd on May 26, 2021

Most people aren’t good at expressing grief. Yet two-thirds of the Psalms are laments – grieving complaints against God. The Hebrew writers knew that the path of praise often went through the valley of mourning. So what happens when we grieve and mourn properly?

The Least Of These

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 7, 2022

Modern Christians are going to be horrified when they stand in Judgment. Attending church, praising the Lord, living faithfully, and paying tithes aren't even on the radar of what Jesus is expecting of us. We're supposed to be serving 'the least of these!'

Jesus Paid It All

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 4, 2022
