    This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

    As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more

    This passage applies to all people. Whether we make our living in construction or not, we are all builders. Each day we live we are building something that will one day be evaluated by the Master Builder.

    This message addresses the topic of abortion by looking at two key passages that reveal how God cherishes human life even before conception in the womb. It was written for "Sanctity of Life Sunday" back in 2003.

    On National Sanctity of Life Day in 2002, President George W. Bush made “A Proclamation.” Based on our country’s Declaration of Independence, he declared that Sanctity of Life is the belief “that every human being is endowed by our Creator with certain ‘unalienable rights’.”(1) He said that the ...read more

     | 5,419 views

    This passage about the four lepers shows us the results of being either inward focused or outward focused. We are able to see the consequences of turning inward, versus the rewards of looking outward and stepping out in faith.

    Our message this morning is entitled, “Inward or Outward Focused?” How many of you have heard of churches being either inward focused or outward focused? I am sure some of you have encountered this idea at some point in your Christian walk. Leith Anderson, the pastor of Wooddale Church in Eden ...read more

    Today, we embark on a journey through one of the most beloved and comforting passages of the Bible, Psalm 23. In this timeless psalm, King David beautifully expresses his deep trust and reliance on God as his Shepherd.

    I. The Shepherd's Provision (Psalm 23:1-3): David begins this psalm by declaring, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Here, David acknowledges God's provision and care for him. Just as a shepherd takes care of his sheep, our Heavenly Father lovingly tends to our needs. We ...read more

     | 4,174 views

    Study #2: When we look around us, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason why, and alerts us to a trend that will occur just before the Rapture.

    NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. Before we talk about the Rapture, we need to look at something called “The Great Apostacy.” In Hebrews 10:23-25, we read, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who ...read more
