That's What You Get

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jul 5, 2025

It is easy to become Jealous over those we think are getting in easy to God's Grace when we labor to follow God's Law. Jesus parables in Luke 15 help us to see things right.

Good Morning. Last week, we focused on approaching God. There are many who see picking a religion like picking a flavor of ice cream at Baskin Robbins.

The Parable Of The Loving Father

Contributed by Chris Layton on Jul 11, 2025

In this messaeg we will look at what the Father did and not the mistakes of the Son

Introduction: • "In Luke 15, we encounter a story often called 'The Parable of the Prodigal Son,' a title that highlights the son's wasteful choices and, in a way, keeps the focus on our own shortcomings. • But I believe this name misses the heart of the story. A truer title might ...read more

Let God Do The Finger Pointing

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 7, 2023

If finger pointing is impolite and it is so often connected to self-centered, sinful behavior why does God do it? God does this so that when sinners see their lost condition he can point them to the cross of his Son. There forgiveness is found. There salvation and eternal life are offered.

“Finger pointing.” What thoughts do those two words bring to your mind? For the most part they are probably negative thoughts. At a very early age we are taught not to point at people. It’s considered impolite. As we get older we experience finger pointing in many different ways. If we had ...read more

Fixing The Problem

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 25, 2023

Why did Jesus have to die on a cross? This is a simple and fairly brief presentation of the gospel.

Last week we looked at the story of Adam and Eve. After God created humankind, Adam and Eve were initially in good relationship with God. But God warned them that if they ate the fruit of a certain tree they would die. It wasn’t that the fruit of this tree was poisonous. The issue was disobeying ...read more

Journey From Death To Life (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 28, 2023

Peter’s brokenness taught him a great lesson about the Lord’s love, faithfulness, forgiveness, and acceptance. Peter had his own journey from death to life. He realized he could not follow Jesus in his own strength. This realization kept him humble and dependent on Jesus.

Last Sunday we spoke about Jesus in the Valley of Kidron, then in the Garden of Gethsemane, and how the whole time He was in God’s will in His journey from death to life. We are coming to the end of Jesus’ earthly journey in the book of John and can see that these last few hours would be the most ...read more

What Does It Mean To Be A Man Of God?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 20, 2023

The people of Israel had become careless and complacent. God called a man from a small country town to prophesy judgment and preach repentance. This man submitted to God's call to go and prophesy unto Israel.

The affluent people of Israel were enjoying their life of luxury and prosperity. They had become careless, complacent, mistreating poor people, and selling them into servitude. Before long, Israel would be vanquished by Assyria, and the rich would become slaves. Then in walks a God called man from ...read more
