    God didn’t hide Judah’s story. He redeemed it. And He can redeem yours too. In fact this might be where God is just getting started in your life.

    Today, we’re looking at a story in Genesis about Judah, the fourth son of Jacob (Israel) and great-grandson of Abraham. Last Sunday, we were studying Joseph, Jacob’s favorite son — so it may seem strange that Moses suddenly leaves the story of Joseph to tell us what’s happening in the life of ...read more

    Life From The Son

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025
     | 92 views

    Worship is the soul turning toward Christ’s light—adoration that becomes transformation, joy that becomes service, life aligned with divine love.

    The Flower and the Smile: What Worship Really Is There are moments when a question feels too obvious to ask and yet too heavy to ignore. One of those questions has followed me for years: Why does God want our worship? If He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-sufficient, why would He want—much ...read more

    End Time Scoffers

     | 1,578 views

    In chapter two, Peter spelled out the character of false teachers and the futility of their teaching. Now in chapter three Peter deals with the second coming of Jesus Christ and the end of the world. He starts off by warning us of the end-time scoffers.

    THE SAINTS REALITY Regardless of whether we like it or not, the reality is that there’s a lot of false teaching out there today. These false teachers refuse to heed the word of God, repent and trust Christ. Peter describes these false teachers and their followers as last days scoffers ... (2 ...read more

    Sermon # 30 - Fasting - A Spiritual Discipline Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 28, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 768 views

    The people of Nineveh fasted and repented of their sinful ways at the preaching of Jonah. Fasting is a spiritual discipline, which helps us set aside physical food to spend time with God so that we are strengthened on the inside and can experience genuine transformation in our lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:4-5, Jonah started through the city, and after walking a whole day, he proclaimed, "In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!" The people of Nineveh believed God's message. So they decided that everyone should fast, and all the people, from the greatest to the least, ...read more

    Church, we’re on the winning side! Who can stop what God’s doing? Today we’re looking at how God used an enemy to save the life of the apostles and reveal a great truth about how God’s work cannot fail.

    YOU CAN'T FIGHT AGAINST GOD Acts 5:12-42 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: The Devil Provided 1. There was a poor woman who lived next door to an atheist. He often mocked her faith and derided her “imaginary friend.” One day he overheard her praying for some groceries. He went out and bought a couple ...read more

    People today are acting as if they have never been informed, or are ignoring what they should know. But as Christians, we have no excuse. Because there is a lot that the Bible says about our bodies. I

    To sanctify God is to reveal His true character through ours — holiness displayed in everyday grace, patience, and quiet integrity.

    INTRODUCTION — THE HIDDEN RECORDER A friend of mine once hid a little cassette recorder behind his sofa before company came for dinner. He wanted to see what people really said when they felt safe. All evening the conversation seemed ordinary — a few laughs, a few complaints. But one guest began ...read more

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 4, 2000

     | 11,543 views

    The Prodigal Son is a classic story of God’s love in a parable of a hippie, Sick of Home, who went out into the world but finding disillusionment was Homesick, and coming to his senses, came Home.

    THE PRODIGAL SON AND HIS HOME The parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) is one of the classic stories of Jesus in sketching out bit by bit his message of the kingdom of heaven or, in other words, eternal life. The parable teaches us a lot about ourselves. It’s a parable that says we’ve ...read more

    Often we try to fit Jesus in a box, but he is far to big to fit in our boxes.

    In the garden of Gethsemane we stand on holy ground. We can never fully understand what happened there, it is beyond our human experience, but this passage gives us an insight.

    Reading Mt 26:36-46) Vehement cries 7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear This verse refers to Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane and takes ...read more
