    A Father’s Legacy

    Contributed by John White on Aug 26, 2019
     | 14,361 views

    Why Father’s Day? We all could agree that Mother’s Day is a good idea. Mothers are renown for their love and their vital role in shaping a child’s life from the cradle to the grave cannot be debated or denied. But why Father’s Day? How did it come into existence?

    A Father’s Legacy Deuteronomy 6:4-9 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them ...read more

    The Sermon On The Mount (Part 17) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 20, 2020
     | 4,547 views

    What does worry accomplish for us? Nothing. It robs us. It robs our joy, our peace, our patience, our ability to trust and rely on God. It robs our ability to think rationally and find solutions to our problems. No wonder Jesus tells us to not worry.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part 17) Matthew 6:25-34 I did a sermon a couple of years ago titled, Be in the Now. It's about being in the moment. One of the points I made involved the extended version of the Serenity Prayer. In it, we see this line, "Living one day at a time, enjoying one ...read more

    Marriage is made in heaven, but it matures on earth.

    I’ve had the privilege of doing a lot of weddings over the years. I often tell couples to expect things to go wrong during wedding ceremonies.

    Faith In The 21st Century: The Seven Key Aspects Of Faith

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 28, 2021
     | 2,869 views

    Faith is something that sets the Christian apart from the world. The Christian believes in a God unseen. The Christian believes differently from the world. The people of the world don't think in terms of belief.

    "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible." Hebrews ...read more

    What mother ever gives birth to a child with the goal for the child to remain a baby, never to grow into maturity?

     | 750 views

    Simply put the day of the LORD is his certain judgement on sin. This is not speculation, its not a theory. It’s a certainty. It will happen. It will come to pass. Now, properly understood, this absolute certainty should transform the way we think and the way we live.

    God’s grace meets us in our brokenness, offering forgiveness and restoration through Christ, no matter how far we’ve fallen or how flawed we feel.

    Some of us walked in today carrying a quiet ache. Maybe it’s a memory that won’t loosen its grip. Maybe it’s a habit that keeps hollering our name. Maybe it’s the nagging sense that we should be further along than we are. If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place. Not a museum for the perfect, ...read more
