A Motivation To Give For Small Givers Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 26, 2019

We are called by Paul to be cheerful givers. That seems ridiculous to many! This passage, though, gives us a great starting point for making that generous attitude happen.

IT JUST SEEMS RIDICULOUS: How can anyone be a cheerful giver? - 2 Corinthians 9:7. - Paul tells us that God loves a cheerful giver. That’s all well and good, many of you are thinking, but who exactly is joyful about giving to the offering plate? It’s hard for many to believe that there are ...read more

1 Identity Series

Contributed by Steve Pearman on May 28, 2024

In this series we are going to explore relationships with the aim of avoiding some of that mess and hurt, if possible. Today we start with something that is essential to forming good relationships

At the end of our series on Resurrection Hope I spoke about unity. That each one of us, although very different from each other, can be united in our focus. In fact, unity is not about sameness, but a sense of focusing on a goal, a purpose. If you weren’t here for that series, it’s on YouTube ...read more

When our sin is exposed, we can feel broken and ashamed. But Jesus offers forgiveness and a fresh start. We can find hope in Him.

We've all messed up, right? We've all made choices that led to some kind of brokenness. Maybe it's a friendship that's gone sour, or you've messed up at school, or you're having a tough time at home.

The Miracles Of Jesus (Pt 1) Series

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Dec 15, 2025

For a couple of years, I’ve wanted us to study the miracles of Jesus together. So, I thought what a better way to start the new year.

The purpose is firstly, to learn about the miracles and secondly, to discover what they mean to us today. The plan is to spend a few weeks in the miracles, shift to the parables, and finish up with the miracles. When I first began preparing my study of the miracles, I figured I had three different ...read more

Unprecedented Faith: "gideon: A Faith That Challenges Life"

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 1, 2026

Gideon didn’t start out with strong faith; he started off weak, timid, and scared, but God still used him to do great things. When life’s challenges are bigger than we are, that is when our faith in God will see us through. That’s what it means to be a mighty man or woman of valor and faith.

God Will Finish What He's Started (Joshua 12:1-23, 13:1-22) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2022

Joshua is old, and he can't do all that he wants to for God (and there's a lot left to do). God reassures him, "I got this. I'll finish the job."

This is a great passage. Let me try, up front, to persuade you about this. It's super helpful for understanding Joshua as a whole. There's hints scattered throughout this section about the Nephilim, if you're into that sort of thing. And the passage points us to God, and his ...read more

A Wise Fool

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 1, 2001

Solomon’s mistakes were that he started out well, but did not end well, he was a minimalist and he allowed his strength to become his weakness.

Have you see the bumper sticker that says, “I took an IQ test and the results were negative”? Sometimes very intelligent people can get very negative results on their IQ tests.
