    We see Cain yielding to sin and falling bait to it just because of his heart condition. He did not take any stand to rule over it or run from it. He just yielded. For Cain (and for us) there is an exit on every level of temptation, and we need to see the

    Opening illustration: When we sin we often do so with the futile hope that we shall obtain the maximum amount of pleasure at the minimum penalty. It seldom works that way, however. I once heard the story of a man and his wife who decided to go to a drive-in movie. They thought the price was too ...read more

It has been a little while since we were in our study of Matthew due to the holidays and such, so let’s read the text, shall we? “When Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

    3rd of 10 in series on Jesus Stories. The main points of this message come from a message by Richard Hall titled "What do you do when the Wine Runs Out" found on Sermon Central. The first miracle Jesus did was one that is rather surprising. He changed

    Marriage is a wonderful gift from God to humankind. When we live and love up to the promise of marriage it really is a taste of heaven. Maybe that is why we work so hard to make our wedding day a very special time. Yet life rarely works as smoothly or goes as well as we want it to and that is ...read more

    How often do you think about the things of God? How much time do you spend reading the Bible? There is so much in God’s word that we need to put into practice in our own lives. We need to ensure we are not running on empty.

    The Proof of the Spirit 1 John 4:10-4:17 This month in our Fresh Fire series we are considering the Holy Spirit in the Life and Ministry of Jesus. Looking at the life of Christ, is something that is essential for every believer. To help us grow in our understanding of Him & our relationship with ...read more

    We all run, we all disobey, we all fall short but in His grace God grants us a second chance just as He did Jonah. In his psalm Jonah expresses just how marvelous God's love is for all who seek his forgiveness.

     | 5,814 views

    As I was watching the weather warnings run across the TV screen I began to think about how we go through life's storms without any warnings. Each one of the storms we go through are painted a different color of severity, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red

    Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

    A Welcome Change In Government Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on May 26, 2022
     | 2,524 views

    Christ is Lord even over those who seem to have all the influence today. They’re not running things, He is. They’re not shaping history, He is. None can override him, for Christ holds the keys. He will be forever secure on his throne!

    A change in government is always a big deal: there are new cabinet members to choose, new policies to begin implementing, new office spaces to move into. The old is quickly shuffled to one side, and the new is put into the spotlight. In our text today, we see something similar. Isaiah 22 describes ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 8, 2024
     | 1,094 views

    Some churches run so many activities that some servants are just worn out. We need more exits and “coming aside to rest” for contentment. Remember activities in the Lord’s name could be a barrier that stops us knowing Jesus better! We look at hope in Israel.

     | 597 views

    God is calling out to each of us to turn to Him – to repent and follow completely. What we do with this simple command shows who He is to us (it’s personal); so if we choose to run away from the things of God then we choose us over Him!

    When disciples lose their focus they lose their direction. Jesus has answers for that.

    “And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling ...read more
