After hours of subzero temperatures and a few close calls with hungry wolves, one Grand Mananer turned to the other ...read more

    Being born again is like taking a shower after a hard days work

    Peeling Off the Grime A side effect of hard physical labor is that we get dirty. Working out leave us sweaty and less than sweet smells.

    A hard living, rough and tough Alaska man takes his life and is not a believer.

    We are each entrusted with one life, formed by the hand of God the Father in our mother’s womb – surely God has his hand on us from the very first moments of life. Surely God knows all we do, all we think and, all we dream for. Surely God desires the best for us - You can see that, it is so obvious ...read more

    Life on this earth is hard, and acting as a Christian sometimes makes it even more demanding.

    Saturday of 21st Week in Course So we’ve all probably read or heard sermons on this parable from Matthew’s Gospel, and typically–to cut to the conclusion–we are told that Christ has given each of us a measure of talent or gifts, and we’d better use them properly. If we do, we get rewarded; if we ...read more

    "Knocking On Heaven's Door"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Oct 26, 2018
     | 9,777 views

    There’s nothing that reveals more about a believer than his/her prayer life. How we approach God of what we’re willing to ask for shows how we view God. It is very similar to how a child will make a request of their father.

    PRAYER THAT OPENS DOORS "Knocking on Heaven’s Door" Matthew 7:7-11 Let me start with a question this morning. What is the single biggest prayer request you have ever made? What is the biggest answer you have ever asked God for? • Perhaps it was for healing for yourself or for another family ...read more

    Changing your way of thinking by praying honestly

    King Asa was a man who loved God and obeyed God. He didn’t get his reverence for God from his father. His father was certainly not a man who pleased God. Neither did he get his reverence for God from his grandfather. After Solomon was king of the unified nation of Israel the kingdom was divided ...read more

    Jesus Walks On The Water Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 24, 2023

    What’s the deeper message here for us today? It’s the gospel hidden in plain sight. I’ve noticed in the events of Jesus ministry we find the gospel again and again hidden in symbolic images.

    Growing up in Wisconsin we would go “up north” twice a year at least, to a town called Minocqua. And we would spend hours boating, we would travel something they called up there the “chain of lakes.” We’d take my dads boat from lake Minocqua down through these thin passages, to lake Tomahawk, and ...read more
