Serviceable Soldiers

Contributed by Craig Benner on Nov 14, 2019

Chocolate soldiers may look neat and taste delicious, but they don't help much in winning the battle at hand. God is still looking for men and women who are willing to step out of the comfort zone and do something for Him in this war zone of life.

Put Your Faith Into Action

Contributed by Imelda Mesa on Sep 27, 2022

“Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man’s power ends” (George Muller)

It means excellent opportunities to come our way and significant challenges we must prepare to brace. There are ...read more

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 2, 2021

David chose to invite Mephibosheth to the king's table and took care of all his needs. Why would he do this and what can we learn from his example? Check out these thoughts from Scott Jewell, our Family Minister.

Mephibosheth: A Picture Of God's Divine Grace And Undeserved Favor Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 5, 2016

Grace is a dirty word for the devil. It's the power behind the gospel - not creed, religion, philosophy. Grace is God reaching somebody like me - God's favor that is unearned, undeserved, unrepayable. We see it in David's encounter with Mephibosheth.
