    Do people see Christ's love in you? And do they see your love for him?

    I really enjoy reading Our Daily Bread. Recently I have been really trying to start my days off with a daily dose of wisdom that is printed for the day. The devotions are so simple and to the point, they really have a neat way of speaking to me no matter what the topic is. The other day I read a ...read more

    A message on being a reflection of God in the darkness of this world

    In the first chapter of the Bible, God's very first recorded words were "Let there be light" (Gen 1:3 NIV). In Hebrew, it says, "Light, become!, and light became!" In that single finite moment, before time began, the infinite God spoke the Universe into existence. He ...read more

    Have you ever known a controlling type person? What's at the heart of being a control freak? You may be thinking of someone who needs to hear this sermon but just because we may not be a 'control freak' that doesn't mean we don't have any control issues.

    Providence - God's Ongoing Work

    Contributed by Todd Catteau on Feb 22, 2022
     | 2,340 views

    Is God active in the world or a passive observer? The doctrine of Providence claims he is the former - the creator who is still sustaining the world and working in it to bring about his purposes. This sermon explores the ways He is active and the peace providence gives us.

    Providence Today I want to talk about God – shouldn’t surprise you since we are in church • He’s a being that the more you know the more you don’t know • God is knowable but incomprehensible • We will never totally understand everything about God but that shouldn’t keep us from knowing what we can ...read more

    Be Reconciled To Your Brother Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,812 views

    Reconciliation begins with confrontation; being brave enough to approach someone to say, “Hey, we need to talk about something.” Rick Warren says that running from a problem and pretending it doesn’t exist is cowardice.

    I want to ask a question to start off our message, and that is, “Whatever happened to reconciliation?” It seems as though there’s not a lot of reconciliation happening in our churches today among Christians. Probably the reason why is because reconciliation begins with confrontation; or rather, ...read more
