Transformation At The Jordan

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 2, 2025

The Jordan River that was overflowing miraculously parted for the Israelites, in that same River Jordan Naaman was healed of his leprosy, and Jesus was baptized in the same river. Miracles will happen in our lives when we too can trust God fully, and obey His Word implicitly.

Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 3:13, “When the priests who carry the Covenant Box of the LORD of all the earth put their feet in the water, the Jordan will stop flowing, and the water coming downstream will pile up in one place." (GNB) These are the words that Joshua received from God ...read more

Why Have You Sent For Me?

Contributed by Steven Cordle on Feb 14, 2018

A look at the work of the preacher. This is the first sermon I preach in a new congregation. I received the original outline from Wayne Burger at the Bear Valley Bible Institute in Denver and modified it over the years.

Change is something new and exciting. Not only that, it can be scary because when things change there is a certain unknown element we face. What will change bring? Will it be for the good or bad? Will this work? Did I make the right decision? All of these questions and thoughts are natural ...read more

Parable Of The Loaves And Fish, Revised

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 11, 2015

Just like we have to eat physical food several times a day in order to live, we need to receive spiritual food on a regular basis. That is why many of us attend services every week--because we need to receive the spiritual food offered by regular worship.
