Connecting With God

David praises God and acknowledges His role in his life. This psalm expresses in 7 different ways God’s role in our lives today.

Remembering Christmas: It was the long walk of Jesus from heaven to earth that gave us the greatest gift of all. Unwrap the Babe in the manger and discover how great God’s gift really is.

Jesus Christ - The God-Man Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 26, 2016

Of all the men who ever lived, none have impacted humanity as Christ. His impact cannot be denied. The sovereign God-Man humbled Himself in obedience to the cross. We are admonished to possess the mind of Christ.

Our Holy God

Contributed by Brian Bill on Jul 9, 2018

It was C.S. Lewis who said, “How little people know who think holiness is dull. When one meets the real thing, it is irresistible.”

As a young boy I was really bored in church. My mom would give us pep talks every Sunday morning in an effort to remind us to pay attention and not goof around.

Practising Worship (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 15, 2017

Though we speak of worship, I suspect that few of us worship. Perhaps we are uncertain of Whom we should seek or what we should do when we have found Him. This Psalm addresses those issues.

“Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness. “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over many waters.

The Millennium And Final Judgment Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Aug 2, 2024

Satan is chained by circumstances. He has had no access to Heaven since his banishment and he can’t tempt anyone on earth because there is no one to tempt. The wicked are dead and the redeemed are in heaven. He just gets to wander around muttering to himself for 1000 years.

August 03, 2024 The Battle of Armageddon results in total destruction. The earth resembles a vast battlefield – a desolate wilderness.

If we know how the story ends, and who is in charge of it, we can feel secure even through turbulent times.

I’ve heard it said that the world can be divided into two kinds of people: the ones who read the end of the book first, and the ones who don’t. Which one are you? I’[ve always thought I was the second kind - the one who never read the ending first - until I stopped to think ...read more

Walking In Ancient Paths

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Jul 17, 2007

The people were at a crossroad, needing to choose the way of the Lord or continue in a form of religion that ...read more
