    In The Same Way Series

    Contributed by Steven Buhr on Aug 31, 2023
     | 1,487 views

    The first thing that jumps out at many people in this passage is that little phrase ‘be subject to’ or ‘submit’, or ‘be submissive’. People can get hung up in that and lose the intention of what is being said.

    In the Same Way A study through Peter July 16th 2023 A young child was attending their very first wedding. Sitting by his mom, the boy took in all the sights and sounds. Leaning toward her, the child asked ‘Why does the bride wear all-white?’ To which she answered her son, ‘Well dear, white ...read more

    Sermon # 35 - The Sanctity Of Marriage Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 14, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,558 views

    Marriage is God’s idea and the directive for a happy marriage is given by God Himself. When we honor marriage and treat our spouse the way God wants us to, our homes will be blessed and our families will be a blessing to many.

    We read in Matthew 22:2, “The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son..”(Webster) Have you ever wondered why the kingdom of heaven is likened to the marriage of a king’s son? Often we consider marriage to be a normal part of our lives, but fail to realize that ...read more

    End Time Scoffers

     | 1,444 views

    In chapter two, Peter spelled out the character of false teachers and the futility of their teaching. Now in chapter three Peter deals with the second coming of Jesus Christ and the end of the world. He starts off by warning us of the end-time scoffers.

    THE SAINTS REALITY Regardless of whether we like it or not, the reality is that there’s a lot of false teaching out there today. These false teachers refuse to heed the word of God, repent and trust Christ. Peter describes these false teachers and their followers as last days scoffers ... (2 ...read more

    Envision: The Great Commission

     | 1,040 views

    Jesus doesn’t send us into this world, lost world without any resources. He doesn’t expect us to accomplish this Great Commission in our own power.

    Opening illustration: When Jesus spoke these words directly to His disciples, and indirectly to us, He was giving the church her marching orders. He was telling exactly what He expected us to do in His physical absence. The disciples took the Lord’s command seriously. They went into the world and ...read more

    In Acts 2, Peter quotes the prophet Joel, declaring that in the last days, God would pour out His Spirit, and a prophetic movement would arise—a movement where men and women, young and old, would hear God’s heart and declare His message.

    We are living in a generation that is hungry for truth, desperate for hope, and longing for a sense of purpose. Many are searching for something real, something that transcends the chaos and confusion of our times. And while the world’s voice is often the loudest, there is another voice—a voice ...read more
