    We are not special because we are particularly talented, particularly well-behaved, or born into prestigious families. We are special because we know God.

    We Are Special (2 Thessalonians 2:13-17) Confidence in God…but confidence in others? To some degree, yes. When we believe in others and have confidence in them, they are more prone to: (1) excel (2) be encouraged (3) develop and grow (4) venture forth This is especially easy to do when people ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,741 views

    This is part five of a seven-part series on Jesus’ disciples and the principles of discipleship. This message focuses on Matthew.

    One of the most interesting disciples that I have studied is Matthew or "The Tax Collector" as he is known. Just like the other twelve, Matthew will also prove that God can use anybody that He chooses to. God at times picks people that we are not sure He should pick. When God puts together a team ...read more

    While we may have to follow our heart in devising the path that we are to walk in, we can rest assured that Jesus is still directing our steps.

    TAKE THE NEXT STEP By Pastor Jim May Sometimes life can be so confusing. I cannot tell you the number of times that I have come to a point in times of confusion when I did not know which way to turn or what to do next. In those times I often think of the words of Moses to the Children of Israel ...read more

    A challenge to turn from gossip when something happens in the church family and rather turn to love for support.

    “Oh man, Mary Jo’s got the cooties.” “Yeah, I heard she got ‘em from messing around with Billy Bob.” “Ain’t that just the most awful thing you ever heard, I don’t think we should be her friend anymore.” Sounds rather much like grade school doesn’t it? But, that is not necessarily the case. ...read more

     | 2,872 views

    As chapter two of Esther continues, we see more of the sovereignty of God revealed. Although it appeared His people had been forsaken, God had a plan and would use Esther to help bring about its fulfillment. Sovereignty is an attribute that brings peace and comfort to believers.

    The Search for a Queen (Part 2) Esther 2: 10-18 We have learned that due to her refusal to accommodate the king’s ridiculous demands, Vashti had been removed from her position as queen. After some time had passed, the king’s advisors developed a plan to locate and crown a new queen. The plan ...read more
