    Jesus is knocking at the door of our heart. In the house of our heart there are things we don’t want him to see. But Jesus comes to bring us great things. On top of that he wants to have fellowship with us today and forever.

    You hear a knock on the front door of your house. Or you hear the doorbell ring in your home. What thoughts go through your mind as you head toward the front door? What emotions do you typically feel? Like so many situations in life the answers to those questions depend on the circumstances ...read more

    The Scarecrow And The Pelican – Very Apt Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022
     | 2,848 views

    The message begins with the insanity of idolatry. Idols are no more than scarecrows in a cucumber field. In great distress David resembled a pelican in the wilderness. Applications are drawn from these two objects to Christian living and personal affliction.

These men and women became more than they could have imagined because their faith attached them to God. God therefore built His enabling ...read more
