    Setting Our Minds

    Peter has good intentions, but they are not in agreement with God's ultimate plan. We must covenant to deny ourselves and align ourselves to God's will and ways.

    WE MAY HAVE HEARD THIS FAMILIAR SAYING: “THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.” AN INTENTION IS SIMPLY A PLAN OR GOAL WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH. IRONICALLY, INTENTIONS DON’T ACHIEVE ANYTHING. THEY ARE MERELY IDEAS AND DREAMS OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE’D LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THE ...read more

    Noah- The Ungiver

    Contributed by Jerry Owen on May 25, 2018
     | 6,918 views

    Believers are immersed in a world of sin and temptation. Noah experienced a world such as this or even worse. Our duty as believers in God is to never give in to sin, never give up our hope in Christ, and to never give out in doing good.

    Noah: The Ungiver Genesis 6:5-9 Read Gen 6:5-7 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 The Lord ...read more

    There are some things that will never change, but there are some things that ought to change immediately.

    In this one little verse, the Lord God makes a wonderful, comforting statement about Himself. He says, "I do not change." There is a very simple reason why God never changes, and that is that is already perfect. He cannot become more perfect, therefore, He never changes. His word doesn't change ...read more

    Believers are adomnished to never give up on meeting with God’s people.

    The Bible tells us that God desires for His people to fellowship with one another. Indeed, the writer of Hebrews tells us that participating in the fellowship of the church is something that ought to be a core value for every Christian. Starting today, we will be looking to verse 25 of this passage ...read more

    To wait upon the Lord is to seek him and wait for the prompting by His Spirit to move to action. There is time of waiting and also an expectation that His Spirit will instruct us to launch out.

    Good morning brothers and sisters. I will read Isa 40:31 “They who wait upon the Lord, shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be faint.” I wish to start off by sharing some facts of the American bald eagle. They are the kings of the ...read more

    The book of Judges is a book about heroes, some men, and some women. Although they were not perfect, coming from diverse backgrounds, they were submissive to God. It is a book about sin and what happens to those who fall into sin. The book is divided into three sections. 1:1 - 3:4 tells how ...read more

    True Repentance Series

     | 4,278 views

    “Come, let us return to the Lord.” (Hosea 6:1) Jesus went to the house of many tax collectors and sinners. The Pharisees saw this and asked why Jesus eats with tax collectors and sinners. In that context Jesus Quotes Hosea 6:6 (found in Matthew 9:13).

    The story of the prodigal son gives us a great picture of repentance. The prodigal has messed up big time and ended up in a terrible situation, eating pig slop just to survive. That situation made him turn back to his father. But you don’t have to wind up on skid row to need repentance. A Christian ...read more

    Are You A Disciple?

    Contributed by Jerry Owen on Mar 6, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,819 views

    Much of the church today has watered down the gospel so much in order to just attract attenders that Lordship and discipleship are completely foreign concepts. Many want only a casual relationship with Christ, but Christ is not a casual relationship God.

    ARE YOU A DISCIPLE? Matthew 16:13-27 This week I was in my storage room looking for something. I reached to the top shelf and felt fur and claws. A flying squirrel jumped up on a box and stared at me. I yelled for Lana to come. Why? Because I needed a sermon illustration. She got there with a ...read more

    Where do you go when your mind is broken, you feel empty and without a sense of purpose, incapable of finding any joy in your life? You seek a cure from the Great Physician Jesus whose demand to deny self and follow Him is a yoke that is light in His sustaining grace and strength!
