Have It God's Way Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Sep 5, 2022

Yes, Jesus accepted this world for what it is, for what we made it … twisted, broken, and full of hurt … but He so loves the world that He came to die for our sins on the cross, not to condemn us but that we might be saved through Him.

[This series is based on Reinhold Niebuhr's "The Serenity Prayer" (the full version). This sermon is based on the line: "Taking, as Jesus did, this world as it is and not as I would have it." It was also delivered on Communion Sunday, so it leads to gathering at the ...read more

The Christmas That Wasn't Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 1, 2021

The first Christmas was the Christmas that wasn't--at least in Jerusalem, the city that the Great King and Messiah came to save, and to rule from. Pagan visitors from far away had to tell them of the great thing that had happened in their midst.

Back in November, Jeanie and I received a newsletter from an organization called SAT-7. SAT, I assume stands for satellite, because that is the means by which they broadcast the Gospel via television programs into Muslim dominated countries in the Middle East. SAT-7 is the largest provider of ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 14, 2025

Paul bore the stigmata in his body, the branding marks because of faith, as did the Lord. He suffered much. Grace and mercy are looked at, and circumcision yet again. The new creation as opposed to keeping the Law. And wonderful Blandina tortured for faith.

Sibling Rivalry Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 23, 2018

Sibling rivalry starts with one person feeling they've been slighted. They deserved to be treated better. And expect this kind of rivalry in children - it's when we become adults that this desire to "be the star" can destroy families, churches and relationships.

OPEN: Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVI2fX-1uPU That clip was from a popular TV series called “This Is Us” where a couple of the main actors (brothers Kevin and Randall) get into a fight. The scene is an excellent example of a common conflict most families experience called ...read more

HERE COMES THE BRIDE Perhaps the story of how you and your sweetheart met and fell in love is similar to mine. When it comes to meeting, dating and marrying that special someone (in our American culture) – we don’t do. Things quite like they did in Genesis 24. Actually our parents (probably) had ...read more

The What?-Dom Of God?!?

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on May 11, 2007

What is the Kingdom of God? Being part of God’s Kingdom means that we place ourselves under His rule, under His power and influence. And as His child.

Those of you that are old enough may remember that movie that was released in 1968. The plot was based upon ...read more
