Between Two Advents (Revelation 20) Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 30, 2025

Revelation 20 speaks to Christians living in the “in-between”—after Christ’s first coming but before His return. In the tension of the middle, we find hope: Jesus wins, evil ends, and our future is secure.

Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to Revelation 20. We come into worship this morning with what may be a once-in-a-lifetime alignment of circumstances, at least as far as a church calendar goes. It’s the first Sunday of Advent, when we begin focusing on Jesus’ coming into the world. It’s ...read more

When We Decide Evangelism Isn’t For Us To Do Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 22, 2025

The Road To Rest

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Feb 19, 2025

Jesus calls us to come and rest in Him. That word "Come" is a call to all who are weary and heavy-laden to come to Him. It's a compound word that means "here" and "come"--so, Jesus is giving His call to "Come here", to "Come here to Me!"

The Road to Rest Matthew 11:25-30 John Bunyan's classic analogy of the Christian life, Pilgrim's Progress follows the journey of the main character named Christian as he travels from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, which describes the spiritual journey of a Christian towards ...read more

Solution To Church Conflict

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Mar 1, 2025

Church unity is not preserved through debates or leadership but through agape love—a voluntary, unconditional, and sacrificial love that mirrors Christ's sacrifice on the cross, calling believers to forgive, serve, and seek reconciliation over division.

Faith That Marvels

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 15, 2024

This Centurion in our story today is a model for us of Christian service. He is a man with authority over 100 soldiers, but he became a servant to his own servant when he called upon Jesus to heal him.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 13, 2024

In Mark 15:34 Jesus cries out from the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Did God actually forsake Jesus? If so, what’s the answer to Jesus’ question? Why?
