    We explore how clean our shoes are as we learn from Moses what it means to walk on holy ground

    Exodus 3:1-6 1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush.

    A message from a pastor who has been hired to lead a church to a congregation, establishing the ground rules for their future relationship.

    You had heard that due to my health, I had to temporarily retire from the ministry. You also heard that I was healed and contemplating planting our third church.

    The Resurrection Of Jesus - The Basis Of Christianity

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 12, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,125 views

    Christianity is grounded in the Resurrection of Jesus, and yet many Christians have never taken the time to look at the available evidence on the subject.

    When a person professes to be Born-Again, they should be able to defend the foundational facts of Christianity. “We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are ...read more

    Who Is Ready For The Meeting?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 30, 2022
     | 719 views

    What happens when we die physically? Do our bodies remain in the ground? What about our souls?

    Prophetic truth has a utilitarian reason. It is to condemn the hearts of sinners. It is to empower Christians to holiness, and to provide hope and solace to Christians in the hour of death. This letter was composed to urge Christians to live purified lives while they await the return of ...read more

    Four different hearers and responses to God's Word

    God’s Word, the Good Seed Mark 4:1-20 Good morning. How many of you have a garden? Those of you, who garden, know weeds grow faster and stronger than seeds you may plant.

    Not What We Expected

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jul 9, 2018
     | 6,666 views

    Opposition to the Good News of Jesus Christ is nothing new. The first 12 pastors were instructed how to deal with it. Think long and hard how you respond to the message of the Good News as there are consequences depending on your reaction.

    Not What We Expected Mark 6:1-13 Jesus said that; ““A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” “He was amazed at their lack of faith.” Mark 6:4 Sometimes people think they know you. They think they know your family and your family ...read more

    God invited Moses to a campfire (a burning bush), but there was more in that meeting between God and Moses than you'd think.

    (The only lights in the sanctuary were those on stage, an there was a graphic of a burning campfire flickering on the screens) This morning we’re going to be worshipping around a campfire - and since the Elders wouldn’t let me burn an actual fire on stage, you’ll just have to put up with this ...read more

    At unlikely times and places our love for each other will be TESTED. When the relational road becomes rocky God’s Spirit will blow into our lives in order to strengthen us to stand together in UNBROKEN UNITY. You cannot be in relationship with God alone.

    UNLIKELY - Your Place to Stand Together John 3:7-8 MsgB “So don’t be so surprised when I tell you that you have to be ‘born from above’—out of this world, so to speak. You know well enough how the wind blows this way and that. You hear it rustling through the trees, ...read more

    If we really want to experience the power, majesty and glory of God in our lives, we must be ready to pass over to the other side where most of Jesus’ followers won’t go.

    Passing Over to the Other Side By Pastor Jim May Mark 4:1-41 Life is a wonderful journey for those who know Jesus as their Savior and Lord. With each passing day, there are new joys to experience, new blessing to enjoy and a new opportunity to love Jesus even more. Even in the midst of tests ...read more

    My purpose is to show that God loves us and wants us to be filled with His joy.

    The Formula for Joy We all have moments that define our lives. For me, one of these moments began the week after I graduated high school. You see my dad has always been there for me, but I have not always been there for him. I remember that week I decided to join the Navy and leave the house. ...read more

    We have adapted the Christian life to the culture. We want it hot, easy, quick and effortless.

    The American people expect everything fast, easy and cheap. And we often treat the Christian life like that. We want it to be like a McDonald’s drive through — drive up to the window, get what you want and drive off. Have you noticed all the ads that tell us about the products ...read more

    Holding On . . . But Letting Go – Be Steadfast In Hope And Waiting Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 14, 2022
     | 2,744 views

    We have a precious faith and we must hold on to it firmly. Commitment grasps that faith. Holding on to God's promises is essential. We look at the often misapplied verses of Hebrews 6 and who it was who actually let go. They are NOT Christians.

    Message - Holding On But Letting Go Red Cross Hall 19 July 2014 HOLDING ON . . . BUT LETTING GO – BE STEADFAST IN HOPE AND WAITING The subject here may seem like an apparent contradiction (an oxymoron); something we hold on to but let go of it. Well, that gets us nowhere, unless there is a ...read more
