    Serving With Integrity And Passion Series

     | 3,408 views

    God placed it upon Paul's heart that the church in Crete needed to grow up to maturity. Titus had demonstrated that he was ready for the responsibility of organizing the churches in Crete; he would lead the people to avoid the Cretan worldview and the legalism of the Jews.

    “Come, follow me.” The words resound with authority that could emanate only from the heart of God. My heart is tenderly touched each time I view a video clip that depicts the early disciple walking away from their known life to live according to a calling God places upon their lives. As the ...read more

    Life At The Back Of The Cave

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 15, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,056 views

    How shall we respond when despondent or depressed? God may allow trials in order to drive us to Him. This study of Elijah's downfall seeks to encourage those who are depressed.

    “[Elijah] came to a cave and lodged in it. And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said to him, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’ He said, ‘I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and ...read more

    Being In The Family Series

    Jesus asked a perplexing question that continues to cause confusion and uncertainty - who is my family? His focus was not to appease His brothers, but to please His Father. Our relationship with Christ, and devotion to Him, must exceed all else.

    Being in the Family Mark 3: 31-35 Our text today reveals an encounter that was difficult for many to accept. Very likely the intentions of our Lord were misunderstood and misrepresented. Even today, as we consider these verses, this passage remains difficult for many to comprehend and accept. As ...read more

    Gaslighting God

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Jan 9, 2024
     | 1,855 views

    This chapter can be a case of Gaslighting and false repentance by the people in an attempt to change the reality of their situation by minimizing their responsibility and blaming God. Some say it is a “Straw man” set up by the Prophet to be demolished by God’s answer in the next chapter.

    Well, it feels good to be back in this particular pulpit after 25 years! I want to thank Pastor Caleb for the opportunity. Please turn to Isaiah 64. Hear now the word of the Lord. May God be blessed with the reading of His word. Please join in prayer. Before I get to looking at the chapter, I ...read more

     | 13,290 views

    Despite being the Mother of Jesus we get the feeling that Mary was quite an ordinary person. Yet, when the angel appeared to her, she has an extraordinary response of faith. Our call is to know that Jesus brings ordinary people into His family.

    In spite of all the ways we give, we can never be the greatest giver. That place is held by God alone.

    Our response to the tragedy that took place in the mass murders of 50 people in a nightclub in Orlando can help build God's Kingdom or build more hatred between the church and the LGBT Community. Our best solution is to see how Jesus might respond.

    God sees all and knows all. That can cause us to feel either threatened or comforted. The best response is that of David, "lead me." It is far better to be led by the one who sees and knows everything, even our own thoughts.

    Jeremiah looked at a scene of pathos – so many killed. He sees the LORD responsible for that but knew it was the unrepentant people’s fault. God was in great sadness over what happened to these people with faces harder than rock who did not repent.
