    Do You Pray Religiously Or Wholeheartedly?

    I know many families that pray as if it were an old tune. Are we just praying repetitously or is our heart in it? Jesus gives us some examples on how to pray.

    Jesus prayed earnestly, purposefully, and with certainty. He knew that God answers prayer. "The Lord’s prayer" was given during Christ’s Sermon on the Mount to provide an example for how we should approach the throne of grace. Prayer is the prelude to peace, the prologue to power, the preface to ...read more

    Cain had at least two bad room mates and I am not talking about Able but Satan and his sin nature.

    Intro: 1. In my research of Cain and Able, I discovered that all of their problem stemmed from the fact that they were roommates. In "Children's letters to God" I found these: Dear GOD, Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't You just keep ...read more

    When the U. S. Government tries to force religious entities to choose between our faith and their mandates, we have to choose God every time.

    Chipping Away At Our Religious Freedom Today’s message is connected to last week’s message in part only because the President and his administration, mainly Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius are deeply involved in chipping away at our 1st amendment rights to freedom ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 492 views

    Around the cross of Jesus were many people and it is interesting to note how each of them responded to the Savior’s cruel death. We must examine ourselves too to make sure that we truly understand and value what the Loving Lord Jesus did for us on our behalf on the cross of Calvary.

    We read in John 19:17-18, He went out, carrying his cross, and came to "The Place of the Skull," as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called "Golgotha.") There they crucified him; and they also crucified two other men, one on each side, with Jesus between them. (GNB) That day when ...read more

    Why The Shepherds?

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Dec 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,189 views

    The birth of Christ was not announced to the most influential people in the nation, like political, religious, or military leaders, nor to wealthy merchants and prominent men and women, but to the shepherds. Why? Who are they?

    News about the birth of a baby is usually greeted with joy, especially news of the birth of a baby from a kingdom, for example, England. In 2021, Caroline Picard and Charlotte Chilton wrote the article "38 Royal Baby Traditions You Didn't Realize Existed." I will share some of them ...read more

    A mature Christian knows the limits of his liberty in Christ and understands that love is the measure of that liberty.

    Message: In this chapter of the Bible we are introduced to Christian Liberty and the responsibility of properly exercising it. How does our liberty impact those around us in the church and our culture? When are we free to do as we please knowing that what we are doing is not a sin? Is the ...read more

     | 7,453 views

    The story of the wise men reminds us we worship a God above political might, a God over religious complacency, and a God over cultural prejudice. Often God colors outside the lines, moving in ways that shatter our assumptions. Our God is everybody's God!

    Matthew 2:1-12 Everybody’s God Today we conclude the “twelve days of Christmas,” that period of time between Christmas day and Epiphany, celebrated just yesterday. In church history, Epiphany marks the arrival of the wise men, the magi from afar bringing gifts to celebrate the newborn king. ...read more
