    Paul teaches us to "dress for battle" against the "wiles of the devil." How do we do that? Why is that so important?

    WE HATE CHEATING. WE DON’T LIKE TO GET DUPED, FOOLED, TRICKED, AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY ANYONE. IT SEEMS TO BE ESPECIALLY PAINFUL IF IT INVOLVED TRUSTED FRIENDS OR FAMILY.

    Ready To Heed

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on May 17, 2023
     | 1,743 views

    The word "heed" is a biblical word that we don't use today. So what does it mean, and how does it apply to our lives now?

    What exactly does the word “heed” mean? It is more than hearing (Psa. 119:9) It is more than agreeing (Hos. 4:10) It is more than teaching (Josh. 22:5) It is more than honoring (II Kings 10:31) So what is heeding? It is remembering to use, following what is said, and making that a rule for conduct. ...read more

    Joseph made this confession to his family: "I am dying". I am dying. The fact is every person in this room listening to this telecast is racing toward a rendezvous with death one day at a time. The Bible says there's an appointment that all of us have. "It is appointed unto men ...read more

    The wise men are a surprising twist to the narrative from Matthew. What does their presence indicate and how does getting to know them help us prepare for Christmas?

    You may have noticed the chalkboard signs that are scattered around the church building. Each has a different saying- “Be the Branch,” “Catch the Wind,” “Wreck the Roof,” “Grip the Plow,” and “Empty the Jar.” They come from a small group video Bible study our groups participated in a while back. ...read more

    Are we living ready for Jesus’ return? Being ready means: Living with hope - living each day with anticipation for Jesus’ return; living a sanctified life - standing out and reflecting the transformative power of faith; and, having a renewed witness - sharing the love of Jesus with all others!
