    God’s Grace is something that is kinda simple but kinda hard to really understand. What does it mean to embrace God’s grace?

Nowhere was Paul more misunderstood ...read more

    From this episode in Joseph's life, we learn that God is always with us, God can help us grow through our suffering, and we learn that there is a better day coming.

    Introduction: A. Let’s begin with a statement that I think that all of us can agree on – “Life just isn’t fair!” 1. Can we all agree on that? 2. Do any of us need proof that life isn’t fair? 3. Look at this cartoon – “Life is unfair…for proof ...read more

    Once we develop a vision to rebuilding something that’s broken, then we need to have a plan to turn our intentions into actions.

That’s why life just happens to many people. I said this last week: Everybody ends up somewhere in life. A few people end up ...read more

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. There is a beautiful old hymn that begins with these words: “Love sent my Savior to die in my stead. Why should He love me so?" And ends by asking, "Why should my Savior to Calvary go? Why should He love me so?” How would you ...read more

    I am sure that most of you can relate to this. You purchase something that needs to be assembled. It might be a swing set for the kids. It might be a certain piece of furniture. There are so many things now that you can get and assemble yourself in order to save money. Now I have to ask, ”When ...read more

    All of us have heard the saying, "The proof is in the pudding." This is an expression that is used when we want to prove something.
