    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,159 views

    Be strong in the Lord by putting on the full armor of God starting with the Belt of Truth, which is Jesus Christ!

    Many of you have seen the movie Ironman. A wealthy person who decided to do good, invented an armor impenetrable from bullets. If Tony Stark did not put on that armor, a bullet can easily kill him and Ironman couldn’t do any good thing! Wouldn’t it be nice to have one of those armors? Although fun ...read more

     | 4,208 views

    We live in a world that is often difficult to understand, where sometimes we just have to trust that God is in control, even if it seems that things are upside down, even if we find we can’t straighten out the things that are crooked in this world. But we

    How did a book like Ecclesiastes get in the Bible? Did someone make a mistake, do you think? I don’t know about you but I find the beginning of the book a bit depressing. Some people find it quite disturbing as it reinforces the doubts that they may have already about God’s place in the scheme of ...read more

    Rewards come only after we work. The Apostle is encouraging those who are called by the Name of the Son of God to work diligently.

    “It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.” [1] Paul has presented a variety of images to illustrate the strong spiritual life expected of those who will follow the Master. As we saw in a previous message, the emphasis in these verbal pictures the ...read more

    While we are waiting for answers from God, there are some valuable lessons for us to learn.

    Most of us have experienced the following: You want to get down the road, but the road is curvy, and you’re behind a slow driver. You have to slow down and wait. How about making an important phone call, and all you get is a machine. The machine says, “If you live within the U.S. press 1; If ...read more

    Good morning, church family! Our scripture today is Colossians 3:9-10. It reads: "Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator." This passage is all about shedding ...read more

     | 1,623 views

    What does the creation of light and the timing of its creation on day 1 reveal about you and your God?

    Scientists, in 2016 made an interesting discovery. When studying human conception, they saw something that they had never noticed before. What they noticed was that when sperm meets an egg that there is a sudden flash of light. They describe it as “an explosion, or fireworks.” As a matter of fact, ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,314 views

    A teaching about putting God and His kingdom first in our lives.

    Every Christian has to ask theirselves this question, "What is my top priority?". If our answer is anything other than God, then our priorities are wrong. God should always be the number one priority in our lives. We as Christians have been bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. There is ...read more

    God’s First Unconditional Covenant Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Apr 23, 2024
     | 905 views

    Every time a person comes to faith, we remember the rainbow - God’s unconditional love, expressed through the new covenant. Every time someone returns to God after a season of being far from Him - we remember the rainbow: God’s unconditional mercy, His long suffering.

    Do you remember as a kid ever making a promise by crossing your heart, a pinky swear, or swearing to God? By nature, we look for assurances and guarantees and we learn this early in life. As we grow older, however, we realize that we live in a world of broken promises and unfaithfulness. There’s ...read more

    Repeat After Me

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 18, 2011
     | 3,797 views

    Repetition isn’t rote; it’s practice. All of these words become part of us, digging deep into our hearts and minds, helping to form in us habits of thought and action that honor God, that put God first.

    Everything in this sEverything in this service is old hat. We know the Apostles Creed so well that many of us don’t have to use the worship notes except to remember to say "sitteth" instead of "sits." I chose the most commonly used prayer of Confession in the English language. The 23rd Psalm is ...read more

    1. Religious Disunity Hartford Institute for Religious Research says that there were 217 denominations listed in the 2006 Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches.

    Putting It All Together Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 2,191 views

    It's nonsense to build our lives on a lie, but people do it. God calls us to build on a foundation of truth.

    There is nothing quite so destructive as a lie. No one wants to be lied to. It is nothing short of betrayal. And no one wants to be lied about. It is an ugly and contemptuous act. The Bible traces our worst problems back to a lie. The serpent, remember, asked the woman whether it was true what he ...read more
