    I know people who want to mix the world with worship, but when Jesus said "You are the salt of the earth" (Matthew 5:13), He certainly wasn't referring to what happened to Lot's wife.

    It is woven into the story of mankind. It is there from the beginning and it weaves all the way until the end. It is the thread that ties it all together.

    Thread Pt. 1 - Before Day 1 I. Introduction It is small. It is usually unnoticed . . . until . . . the moment a thread is pulled you suddenly recognize its significance and how essential it is to the overall garment, tapestry or storyline.

    Message on 2 Kings 6:1-7

    As I prepare for this sermon I'm reminded of a quote I read that's goes like this “You shouldn't go through life with catchers mitts on both hands, you should be able to throw something back”. Many times we develop the attitude of what can God do for me instead of what can I do for ...read more

    “Every one,” C.S. Lewis writes, “says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until there is something to forgive”

Up to seven times?” 22-Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. 23-“Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who ...read more

     | 17,095 views

    Israel had been at Mr Sinai for a year, building the tabernacle, training an army, and learning God's instructions (Torah). The God told Moses, "you have been at this mountain long enough". It was time to move on and accomplish God's plan for Israel.

    Our Torah Portion today is the beginning of the book titled Deuteronomy. It comes from the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) and means “second law” or “repetition of the law. We know that when people say law, the actual Hebrew word Torah means instruction. God gave us His ...read more

    The Scriptures tell us, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring." (Proverbs 27:1). Too many people in these last days forget that they may not have tomorrow. The time to be prepared to meet God is now.

    All of us at one time have put things off until the last minute, such as the writing of a research paper for school or studying for exams. We put off important decisions at our place of work, or filing tax returns, buying your family Christmas presents on or near Christmas Eve, or asking that ...read more

    Not As Easy (Or Hard) As It Looks

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 23, 2025
     | 154 views

    Being a Christian isn’t as easy as we think—our best efforts fall short before a holy God. But it’s not as hard as it looks either, because Christ has already done the impossible for us, giving us His Spirit and His strength to live as His people.

    GOOD MORNING. There were definitely times that I thought that being a pastor would make it easier to be a Christian. I realized how foolish that was even before going to seminary watching some rather famous pastors fall very publicly to temptation in the 80’ and 90’s. And this isn’t about beating ...read more
