It takes tremendous effort to make it to the top. Well, sometimes that’s the way it is for believers.

At times we may feel as though we’re going up the down side in life. Someone might say, “What are you talking about?” Let me give an example. Have you ever tried to go up and down the escalator? You might take two steps forward and fall back four steps. What should you do ...read more

Never Give Up!

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Aug 12, 2014

Many of us are too quick to throw in he towel and give up on God; when we do that we are doing exactly what the devil wants us to do. We are to persevere and trust God to do the impossible.

This morning I want to talk a little about the rewards of never giving up on God. Today’s gospel story is about a persistent woman and a disinterested God. It is also about a mother who would not take “no” as an answer. The woman was a Canaanite which meant she was a gentile. She ...read more

Looking Up To God Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 30, 2013

The temptations and accusations of the world are like a man-eating plant that wraps its legs around our character and seeks to drag us down. God's Word is like the searchlight from a Coast Guard helicopter, coming to rescue us in times of trouble.

Psalm 119 is a celebration of God’s Word and a literary masterpiece. But there is also a story arc in this psalm that we can relate to. The psalmist, quite possibly Ezra, is facing temptation and opposition from the world—in an attempt to keep him from serving Yahweh and obeying His ...read more
