The Altar Of Incense Series

Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Jun 3, 2011

This series of 6 messages looks at the design of the tabernacle as a template for drawing near to God. The Altar of Incense represents worship. In worship we are transported into God's presence, transformed by God's power and transfixed by God's glory.

THE ALTAR OF INCENSE Let’s play a word association game. I will say a word and you say the first thing that pops into your head when you hear that word. Apple – Car – Husband – Donut – God … What came into your mind when you heard the word GOD. AW Tozer once ...read more

The Order Of Heaven

Contributed by Glenn Dale Pease on Aug 29, 2014

God is a God of order. The first picture we have of God in the Bible, is that of a Creator, who takes a formless chaotic mass, and turns it into an orderly universe. Heaven will also be a place of amazing and perfect order

Limitless God

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 7, 2014

n difficult situations, it’s easy to say we trust God and yet try to handle things ourselves without turning to Him and His Word. This is masked unbelief. Although God is constantly working, He allows us to set a limit on the degree of work He does ...

Who Gets Your Blessing? Series

Contributed by Brandon Vernoy on Aug 13, 2016

We do not obtain the blessings of God because we deserve them. We obtain them because He loves us and it brings Him glory.

Who Gets Your Blessing? One of the most dramatically unqualified biblical heroes I can think of is Jacob. He was a liar, a con, a trickster, a fraud. He spent much of his life haunted by bad decisions and exiled to the chaos of self-inflicted consequences. And yet God called him, chose him, and ...read more

Guilty, But Set Free

In spite of where you may have been in life or how you may have lived, because of what Christ did on the cross, you can now live a life of victory because you have been set free.

Our prayer is that for those of you who don’t yet have a relationship with Jesus Christ, that before you leave this place today, you may be compelled to put your trust in Him and accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
