    Consider The True Glory Of Our King!

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Oct 23, 2023
     | 1,375 views

    In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

    “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” All four of the Gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us about the written notice of the charge against Jesus—and for which Pontius Pilate crucified him. It’s a small but important detail from the Friday that we call good. Does anyone ...read more

    Honor Your Mother

     | 3,244 views

    We should shower Mother with gifts, for indeed she needs to be reminded of our love and gratitude for all she has done. My chief concern is that this gift-giving should not be put down to just one day a year.

    Honor your Mother Give her fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31:31 Johnny was complaining to his friend about how hectic his days were because of school. "I get up at 6 o’clock each morning and eat my breakfast," he said. The friend was ...read more

    Life is filled with never ending choices. How we decide to live our lives matters to God. The following sermon is review Biblical characters who when hearing God’s call obeyed and as a result got to participate in a divine role in His kingdom that far outlasted their time on this earth!

    The Christ Series

    "Christ" was not Jesus' last name. It was a description of WHO He was. So what does it mean that Jesus is the Christ, and what difference can that make in our lives?

    OPEN: St. John’s University is a private religious college in the state of New York, and sometime back someone apparently wrote some graffiti on one of the walls which said this: “Jesus said unto them: ‘Who do you say that I am?’ And they replied: ‘You are the eschatological manifestation of the ...read more

    Joseph had to choose to forgive his brothers. He saw God's sovereignty in the betrayal, he saw the same nature was in him and he tested their hearts with his brother. He forgave and never brought up the subject again.

    FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE Gen. 45:1-8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: sometimes it’s better not to know so much 1.

    Stormy Seas

    The bible is full of exciting stories. Some of them involve tumultuous weather on the open seas. In Acts 27, Paul was on a ship headed for Rome. They were hoping to make it to Crete and winter there. But their smooth sailing became incredibly rough.

    Pray

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 6, 2024
     | 882 views

    The great thing is that as Christians, we don't have to wait until there is proclamation, or wait for a certain day in order to pray. The call to pray is stated clearly in scripture. One place especially clear is found in II Chronicles 7:14.

    Alba 5-5-2024 PRAY II Chronicles 7:14 This past Thursday, May 2nd, was the National Day of Prayer. A bill was passed on April 17, 1952 stating that: “The President shall set aside and proclaim a suitable day each year, other than a Sunday, as a National Day of Prayer, on which the people of ...read more

    As Jonah was thrown into the sea it seemed all was over, but God had prepared a big fish to keep Jonah safe. In all those seemingly hopeless times, God is in control and let’s keep in mind that God’s grace and His justice always go hand in hand.

    We read in Jonah 1:15, “And they lifted Jonah up and threw him out into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.” (AFV) As we continue our studies on the life of Jonah and its relevance to the church, many have been blessed and we thank God for these good testimonies. God instructed Jonah to ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 449 views

    Often the plans of God may not be obvious to us, but as we move forward with faith, those plans of God will unfold perfectly in His time. May we trust God to make everything beautiful in His time.

    For today’s meditation I want to read Micah 5:2, The LORD says, "Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are one of the smallest towns in Judah, but out of you I will bring a ruler for Israel, whose family line goes back to ancient times." (GNB) The birth of the Lord Jesus in the little town of ...read more

    490 Times?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 166 views

    Forgiveness isn’t counted but lived—when we release others, God releases us, mercy triumphs, and faith regains its power to move mountains.

    Mercy triumphs over judgment — that’s what the Word of God says. And if we’re honest, every one of us here needs mercy. We’ve needed it before, we’ll need it again before the day’s over. If it weren’t for the mercy and compassion of God, where would we be? Utterly consumed. Gone. Done for. But His ...read more

    Our society is filled with things like road rage, revenge hit lists, and senseless shootings. Can we really make a difference in our society? The answer is yes, and the difference that we can make begins with being examples of simple Christian kindness.
