    God is with us always.

    It doesn’t take long for us to learn of God’s desire of the first couple in the Bible. In the first chapter of Genesis, v. 27, the text tells us that God created "male and female." And in the following verse, v. 28 we read “God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number, ...read more

    Jesus had his own way, his own politics. We must make a shift away from world influences and be influenced by the ways of Jesus.

    When a person in our community found out that this was my eighth year of ministry at this church he told me the following. The first 3 years a pastor is at a church the congregation loves you. The second 3 years a pastor is at the church the congregation puts up with you. The last 3 years a pastor ...read more

    1. Jesus Fulfillment of the Law v.17-20 “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law…but to fulfill…” - The Pharisees thought that Jesus was trying to abolish the law because He freely disregarded the Pharisaic traditions. - Although they thought that Jesus was destroying the law, they were ...read more

    The Horizontal Shift Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 19, 2021
     | 1,629 views

    Being a disciple of Jesus Christ demands us to surrender in two directions: vertically toward God and then horizontally to serve fellow citizens of the Kingdom. We cannot choose just one.

    The Horizontal Shift (Romans 12:3-8) 1.A customer walked into my clothing shop and asked to see the pants that were advertised in the paper that day. “We don’t have an ad in the paper today,” I told her. She insisted I was wrong, so I got a copy of the paper, and we went through it, eventually ...read more

    Good morning. Please turn in your Bibles to Luke chapter 10.

    Contributed by James Jackson on Sep 29, 2020
     | 8,677 views

    Before we can shift IN to anything else, we have to shift OUT of neutral. How do we do that? According to Ezekiel, God only knows.

    Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to the Old Testament book of Ezekiel, chapter 37. That’s not one we spend a whole lot of time in, so I’ll give you some time to find it. Ezekiel is in the second half of the OT. It’s after Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah… While you are looking up Ezekiel 37, ...read more

    A popular song once said its changes in latitudes that result in changes in attitudes. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus showed his disciples exactly what that means.

    Good morning! Please open your Bibles to John 13, as we continue our series called SHIFT. We are talking this month about areas in our personal lives as well as the life of our church where we might need to experience some shifts.

     | 2,108 views

    The first step in building a building, is to test the soil to see if the ground will support the weight.

    Jesus concludes his sermon on the mount with a spiritual soil sample. You and I are slowly fashioning a character that will never die. We are building a life that will last forever. If we build our life on Jesus’ teaching, our life will stand the tests of time and eternity. If we build it on ...read more

    The Incarnation of Jesus Christ drew a line in the sands of time. Jesus Christ is the separation of "old" and "new." As we celebrate His coming we also look forward to a new year and are encouraged to draw lines in the sand.

    Drawing Lines in the Sand Philippians 3:13-14 Introduction: The Incarnation of Jesus Christ drew a line in the sands of time. The birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Christ are the "turning points" in world history. It is interesting to note that the purpose of the BC / AD dating ...read more
