    Good morning, church family. I hope this day finds you blessed and ready to receive God's word. Today, we're going to dive into a scripture that reminds us of a powerful truth: God is bigger than our doubts.

    There’s something missing in the lives of so many of God’s people, and it’s called JOY. God’s desire is that we would experience fullness of joy, and rivers of pleasure.

    FULNESS OF JOY AND RIVERS OF PLEASURE: By Pastor Chris Jordan This morning when you woke up, I hope that your heart was the same as mine, and that you said as the Psalmist David did, “I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the house of the Lord!” (Psalm 122:1). I hope that you didn’t ...read more

     | 51 views

    The sermon encourages believers to let go of burdens and sins, trusting Jesus to strengthen and guide them as they faithfully persevere in their spiritual journey.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a sigh. The week felt heavy. The heart feels hurried. The soul feels sticky with cares that cling like wet clothes in a storm. You’ve tried to push through, to power up, to pretend it’s fine. Yet there’s this whisper within: “There has to be a ...read more

    Four word pictures about the death of Jesus for people investigating the Christian faith.

    My wife committed her life to Jesus Christ while she was a junior in high school.

Her friend reasoned that since the cross was ...read more

    Today we want to explore some interesting words about truth-telling that Jesus gives us.

    A few weeks ago, President Clinton spent Saturday and Sunday huddling with his lawyers preparing for his grand jury testimony. As I thought about that, it seemed a bit odd. If your goal in going before a grand jury is to tell the truth, to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, why does it ...read more

    Dealing With Doubt

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 145 ratings
     | 9,893 views

    When it comes to Chris-tian truth, God doesn't want us to be skeptics, but I don't think He wants us to be gullible either. In fact, our faith can be strengthened when we ask tough questions and even when we struggle with doubts.

    Some people are natural skeptics. My Grandfather was one. When man first landed on the moon in July of 1969 and the TV pictures came back from the lunar surface, my Grandpa thought it was all being faked. He figured those pictures were coming from a desert somewhere in Arizona. Sometimes he was a ...read more

    The ultimate proof of total forgiveness takes place when you and I sincerely petition God to let those who have hurt us off the hook, NO MATTER WHAT THEY’VE DONE!

    Whenever I preached here a couple of months ago, I shared some of my testimony and I briefly touched on the subject of forgiveness and the powerful affect that it had on me. I know that the Lord dealt with some of you in that service and about some issues in your own life. Pastor Hanchey asked me ...read more
