    Judah in Jeremiah’s time was treacherous and idolatrous. Their LORD was rejected which is still the case today. HOWEVER Israel's future restoration will be marvellous, when in shame and contrition the nation returns to God . These verses at the end of Chapter 3 cover that glorious time.

    Praise God For His Promise

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Mar 30, 2024
     | 996 views

    We need to praise God more than anyone else. As the Psalmist also declared, “Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?” (Ps. 113:5). Just for His promise, we could praise Him.

    “Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, ’Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast ...read more

    The Great Apostasy Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,165 views

    Study #2: When we look around us, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason why, and alerts us to a trend that will occur just before the Rapture.

    NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. Before we talk about the Rapture, we need to look at something called “The Great Apostacy.” In Hebrews 10:23-25, we read, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who ...read more

    Making Sense Of Life Prt 2: Human Suffering

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Aug 20, 2023
     | 988 views

    How do we speak to our own hearts or to someone else who has suffered greatly, who, out of that suffering begins to doubt the nature of God?

    Last week we spoke about the nature of moral and natural evil as we try to make sense of life. If there is a good, all-powerful, all-knowing God who created the world, why does evil also exist? In review, Augustine defined evil as: The absence or deprivation of good…the effects of evil tend to ...read more

    When Jesus comes first, everything else falls into place.

    Good morning. My name is Martha, and I don’t come out looking very good in the story I’m about to tell you. Mind you, I meant well, but meaning well doesn’t mean doing well. And of course, I was also doing what everybody expected me to do. I always have. It’s safe, I’m good at it, and besides, ...read more

    As we peel back the layers, so to speak, of Jesus’ transfiguration we see how it confirms his identity, his mission, and his message. May the Holy Spirit enable us to be a witness of Jesus' transfiguration!

    This morning our worship service is focused on a single event from Jesus’ life. Through the hymns have sung and will sing, through our Scripture readings, and now in our sermon together we are considering the details and the meaning of our Savior’s transfiguration.
