God is our strength and refuge in the gloomiest moments of our lives. Let’s run to Him for shelter from the storm, and in the case of tragedy, especially so. Pray for those affected in the Norway shootings, that they may find their refuge in God.

Text: Psalm 46 Open with me to Psalm 46. This week, Norway has been ravaged with the shootings of over 90 children at the hands of a madman. Families are shattered, friendships irrecoverable.

Origins #4: The Flood: What Really Happened To The Dinosaurs? Series

Contributed by C Jordan on Dec 30, 2010

In Genesis 6, the whole world was corrupt, so God destroyed all of the people in a flood, saving only Noah and his family of eight in an ark. Jesus is the ark, and when we are in Him, we are saved from God’s wrath.

ORIGINS #4: THE FLOOD OPENING REVIEW: In our Origins series, we’ve gone back to Genesis, the first book of the Bible. We believe that God’s Word is an absolutely true account of the creation of the universe! 1. “Creation” - the biblical account of creation versus the theory of evolution. 2. “The ...read more

The Foolhardy Faith Of Jephthah Series

Contributed by Thomas Fortini on Nov 2, 2020

God honor’s faith, even though at times it is exercised in a somewhat short-sighted, impulsive, rash, and venturesome way. But if we do so, it is never without consequences! The story of Jephthah reminds us of that.

The Story

Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 9, 2008

Why is so much of God’s word narrative? Why did God chose story to instruct us and call us to Christ? There is power in a story. God’s story has the power to save us.

As we study through the gospel of Luke, or any of the gospels for that matter, we find God’s word communicating with us on a different level than direct instructions. God has chosen to use a wide range of literary genre as he inspired his Word to us. The gospels are more than historical stories ...read more

Born To Love

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 8, 2018

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we have the capacity to love in the very same way God loves. But so many Christians don't understand what it means to love like God loves.

John 3:16 is a verse we learn very, very early in life, even before we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. My Mom and Dad, and I’m sure your Mom and Dad too, repeated this verse to us as children. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him ...read more
