     | 8,332 views

    The story of Elisha and the widow with the pot of oil teaches us a lot about what Jesus did for us and what we are now called upon to do for the Kingdom of God. God wants to fill as many empty vessels as will come to him.

    Empty Vessels Sunday, October 30, 2022 – 10 am In the prophetic times which we live we see so much of the fulfillment of God’s Word all around us.

    Jesus didn’t come to take us from good to great, but to take us from depraved to saved, surrendered, and sent.

    Twenty-Four Carat Faith

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2025
     | 244 views

    We don’t have to suffer for our faith. But we do have to live for it. And if we never grate against a sinful world, how true to Christ are we being?

    Peter is one of my favorite Bible characters. He’s the one who always opens his mouth before his brain has switched into gear and that’s a failing I have a lot of sympathy with. Remember when the disciples were alone on the boat out in the middle of the Sea of Galilee and they saw Jesus walking ...read more

     | 186 views

    Abraham and Sarah, and Martha and Mary received the one thing they needed—God’s presence in their lives through his Word. Let’s ask God the Holy Spirit to do the same thing for us today and every day.

    God came to visit them. In two of our Scripture readings for this Sunday two pairs of believers hosted God in their homes (well, to be exact one was a tent). Abraham and Sarah welcomed the LORD God who took on a human body to be able to visit them on a personal level. They heard God’s promises ...read more

    Our true identity is not defined by the world’s shifting standards but by the unchanging grace of Jesus Christ, who makes us new, adopts us as His children, sets us apart for His purpose, and secures our citizenship in heaven

His mother, a devoted Christian, taught him Scripture and planted seeds of faith in his young heart. But when she died tragically at the age of seven, Newton’s world was shattered.

     | 2,807 views

    I would like us to focus in on verse 7. We read, "Thus saith the lord of hosts; CONSIDER YOUR WAYS."

    The prophet Haggai had a message from God that he was to give unto the people of God. Notice, he wanted them to know how important this message was by introducing the message by saying, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts…” before he gave the message. In other words, he wanted them to know what he was ...read more
