    Today in our passage of Scripture we’re going to see the Israelite people make a bad decision. And at the beginning it didn’t seem like they were that far off. But b/c they weren’t hitting life in the CENTER of the club, so to speak, they ended up in a

    Do We Want To Be Like Other Nations?

    America may change some aspects of government this election but it will not change the fact that the people remain in rebellion to God. We like so many other countries in the world are living out the cycle of sin as it is clearly displayed.

    Message: We have been witness to a national election in America. It was a very volatile and divisive election. What we saw played out in the United States is as old as time. The Bible points us to a time when Israel wanted to be like other nations. We see in their actions ancient facts ...read more

    Our Lord has emotions. We see it both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. When He entered into Jerusalem on a donkey to the shouts of "Hosanna" why did He weep. Does He weep or rejoice over us?

The fellowship meeting would not take place until the next day so the missionary was given time to ...read more

    Consider the will of God in every matter. Consider the consequences of every choice.

    This is not a good title; I use it to jog our mind to think. Is this our orientation to life? • We know God cares and therefore we live through life seeking God to provide what we want. He is key to a successful and comfortable life. • The needs are real, and many, no doubt about ...read more

    This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more
