    Three Gifts To Give The Next Generation - Mother's Day 2024

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 9, 2024
     | 1,725 views

    Repeatedly, tell them they are loved by their Heavenly Father. Repeatedly, tell your children that every one of God’s commands is an invitation to help yourself to happiness. Repeatedly, tell the next generation that every time the Bible says, “Don’t do this,” He’s saying, “Don’t harm yourself.”

    Here are some interesting things I have heard moms say. 1. My kids sure make a lot of plans for someone who can’t drive anywhere. 2. One mom said to another, “That’s it. I’m selling my kid on eBay.” The other mom replied, “Don’t be silly! You made him. Sell him on Etsy.” 3. Nothing is lost until ...read more

    This is the second message in the series that looks at what Christians say about issues and then compares them to what God says about them in scripture.

    Would you please open your bibles to John 5:30? Jesus says “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” Now turn to Ephesians 5:1. Paul writes “Be ye therefore followers of God, as ...read more

    In this world torn by pandemic, tragedy, and violence, we turn back to the beginning, to what God created us to be. Order out of disorder, light out of darkness, all of us made in God's image

    Looking back over the last few weeks, perhaps the best word we can use is chaos. We have seen chaos as a disease struck our nation. We have seen chaos as hospitals have been overwhelmed and more than 100,000 have died. We have seen chaos as businesses closed and people lost their jobs. We have ...read more

    More Great Reasons To Live With Godly Love Series

     | 2,336 views

    We should live with godly love... 1. Because it gives us more assurance of our salvation (vs. 18-21). 2. Because it gives us more confidence when we pray (vs. 21-22). 3. Because we are born again believers in Jesus Christ (vs. 23). 4. Because the Holy Spirit is living in our hearts (vs. 24).

    5 Ways To Speak Without Regret Series

    Words spread easily. Kudzu was introduced from Asia for soil erosion control. But the problem with Kudzu is it easily spreads and suffocates native plants and even trees. Knowing that your words can spread so easily, think before you speak.

    I want to speak to you about 5 Ways to Speak without Regret. Let’s talk about the power of your words for the next few minutes. We continue a series entitled Give Me THAT Attitude. Often, we tell our children, “Don’t you give me that attitude.” This is the exact opposite. These are attitudes we ...read more

    Sermon # 37 - The Father's Love Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 351 views

    The love that God the Father demonstrated when He sent His only begotten Son Jesus into this world is unfathomable. It’s this love of God that saved us, protects us, provides for our needs, trusts and accepts us in spite of all our faults and failings.

    For our meditation today let me highlight this verse from 1 John 3:1, “See how much the Father has loved us! His love is so great that we are called God's children—and so, in fact, we are.” (GNB) Can you imagine the amazing love God the Father has lavished on us, that we have the wonderful ...read more

    Our text for today mimics this thought. The living God of all creation has gone from “They are all my children,” to “They must belong to someone else.” But, what has befallen humanity that the Creator HIMSELF would wish it was all a bad dream?

    It’s been estimated that more Christians have been martyred in the 20th Century than in all the prior 1,900 years combined. More than 200 million Christians in over 60 nations face persecution each day, 60% of these are children.

    By: Donna J. Kazenske I recently had the wonderful privilege of teaching a workshop on persecution at a Christian Training Conference in IIlinois. To my surprise, about 40 people attended the workshop. I was so blessed to be able to share this vital message with the body of Christ. Persecution ...read more

    Our children (and new Christians) will eventually be exposed to the wisdom of this world. Sometimes such wisdom can confuse and frustrate a persons faith especially when they present so much data and so many voices to stand against God’s Word. Today’s mes
