Dancing With The Lord

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Nov 14, 2020

By God's grace I want to present the incident that happened between Jonah and God as a dance of two friends.

Often, when we examine the story of Jonah's initial refusal to follow God's instruction to go and peach to the people of Nineveh, we see a disobedient and selfish servant of God. Yes, this is a fact but, be it as it may, I would like to suggest that we look deeper into the story and view it ...read more

What Type Of Church Are We? Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Apr 15, 2019

What Is Life

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 14, 2021

In the message this morning, I will try to answer one of life’s most important questions. What is life or what is this life all about? I am sure most of us at some time have asked ourselves questions such as, why was I born? Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? Is this all there is to life?

I. Definition of Life 1. The dictionary says: a. Life is the union of soul and body. That's not 100% true because the word of God says man is made up of body, soul, and spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12 b. Life is the period between birth and death. This is not true. The Bible ...read more

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 25, 2019

In addition to the fact that turning to the Law ruins grace, there is the additional problem that it creates an entirely new obligation: a person is obligated to keep the whole Law.

Part 2: Fear Not Series

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019

What are you afraid of? Is it the dark? Is it strangers? How about the fear of heights or closed spaces? Many of us have these fears and have a hard time getting over them.

He was more than 50 feet in the air and had no net. As he moved about there were oohs and ahhhs. After his ...read more
