    Abandonment Issues Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,361 views

    This story places the Israelites’ emotional development pretty squarely in the adolescent stage, because they behaved just like a bunch of teenagers left too long with the keys to the wine cellar.

    How many of you have children? Did you have any idea, while you were painting the nursery and picking out your first set of onesies, how much of your life would get taken over? Children take a huge amount of time and attention. And of course it gets worse when they start to crawl and then to walk ...read more

    Often we come into situations where we are the underdog? We can't do this? This is beyond my ability... Those that say it can't be done are being passed by those tha tare doing it.

    LET US TALK ABOUT UNDER DOGS... WE CAN'T DO THIS... By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com When I was a boy we had a super hero: incognito he was a shoe shine boy...

    The Faithfulness Of God

     | 3,246 views

    What greater advantage in life could one ask for than to possess the writings of God and possess the prophets, priests and scribes whose duty it was to explain, proclaim, and transmit them to the people?

    Alba 8-1-2021 THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD Romans 3:1-8 Doesn't it seem that there are people who are born with special advantages over others? Some seem to be born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouth. Somehow, that sounds uncomfortable. But I think it would be better than having ...read more

     | 1,901 views

    This morning we are tackling an important topic that really permeates our culture. We hear about it on talk shows, we see ads during the election cycles, and social media is filled with it. The reality is that we live in a world that is looking and judging others.

    Go And Tell!

     | 1,564 views

    Do we really believe that most non-Christians are lost? Psalm 74:20 says “The dark places of the earth (where the love of God is not known) are full of the habitations of cruelty.” (selfishness, hatred, greed, strife, & violence.) Do they need a Savior, too? YES!

    Anyone who has watched "Seinfield" on TV has probably heard the catch phrase "No soup for you." But Jesus tells a parable about a group of people who hear that catch phrase all to clear.

    Excuses. We all have them. We make excuses for our actions. We make excuses for our lack of actions. We make excuses for our words. Basically we are good at making excuses. The Metropolitan Insurance Company has published a list of the excuses they were given for auto accidents (1) “An ...read more

     | 5,146 views

    How do we buy into the lame excuses we offer without crumbling under the internal conflict we generate from living in ways that are contrary to what we say we believe? The truth is, it all comes down to the way we view the world – it comes down to what f

    I want to tell you a story this morning – a funny, yet strangely disturbing story. The setting was a small group retreat with a bunch of teenage boys – I was one of the leaders. We’d had a really good weekend; sharing our faith stories, digging into the Scriptures, spending time ...read more

    If you truly want a new life, seek things above, slay things below, and shed things that divide.

    When I was growing up, I used to love watching the old Candid Camera shows, in which the producers set up a hidden camera and caught people doing the goofiest things. In one episode, an actor on a busy sidewalk began looking at the ground. He walked around a bit with his eyes glued to the ...read more

    Erasing the excuses for being exclusive.

    Today is National Ice Cream Day. Did you know that when ice cream was invented the Quakers thought it was sinful. According to them it had to be sinful. Nothing could taste that good and not be sinful! That kind of sums up the perspective of a lot of Christ followers. If anything is fun - it ...read more

    Mission. God wants us to reach out to ALL people. Even the ones we think are not good enough for church. Who are not intelligent enough. Smell badly. Don't dress well. Drink too much alcohol or take too many drugs.
