     | 238 views

    There comes a divine moment when struggling must cease. For Peter, it was when Jesus stepped into his boat. The same Jesus is still stepping into lives today, bringing rest, clarity, and overflow.

    Legitimate Use Of Rituals Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 29, 2024
     | 616 views

    For a person to be declared righteous by God, rituals/sacraments are unnecessary. Justification is by faith alone. So, what is the value of rituals like water baptism and the Lord's Supper? Using Romans 4:11, this message seeks to answer that question.

    Intro Last week we expounded Romans 4:9-12. There Paul used Abraham’s experience to prove circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. In that study, we did not have time to talk about why God gave Abraham the rite of circumcision. If it is of no value for justification, then what is its ...read more

    God Exists

    Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 8, 2021
     | 3,584 views

    The interaction of all Earthly facets and our perfect positioning within the universe proves we are engaged in a divinely led, interlocking cohesiveness. All this is still being directed by the will and the spoken word of our God.

    God Exists How well do you know your Creator? Do you really believe in our Creator and all that He is? Did God create everything or are we living in chaos by random chance? If we simply look around us at all that “nature” offers, we see evidence that everything indicates there has to be a creator. ...read more

    People was drawn to Jesus because something out of the ordinary was happening,something super natural, still today they are drawn to Him by our out of the ordaniry life.

    I would like to focus on Luke 5:26 today, it says "And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, we have seen strange things today." I know we can all admit to focusing our attention to strange, or different things. I’ve heard it said people used to go to ...read more
