Sermon # 26 - Lessons From The Life Of Noah Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 10, 2023

What does God want to say to us through the life of Noah and the great flood? There are important lessons to learn and warnings to heed, lest we too miss out like the people did in Noah’s days.

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Jan 26, 2025

The Bible teaches that only those who put their faith in Jesus Christ, repent of their sins, love and obey God's commandments, and persevere in their faith will inherit eternal life.

The Bible teaches that only a few will enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus said, "Enter through the narrow gate.

Happy Father’s Day to you all. You have to have some “dad jokes on Father's Day,” right? When does a joke become a “dad joke”? When it becomes apparent.

Lot Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 25, 2024

The wickedness of the city may have caused Lot pain, but instead of being an INFLUENCER, he had become the INFLUENCEE. He had squandered his knowledge of God. His very presence in the city and his own actions say – if nothing else - “acceptance” of the swamp he had chosen.

We know that his father was Haran and that he joined the household of his uncle Abram and aunt Sarai after the death of his father (interestingly, it was one of Abram’s ...read more
