    You Can't Take It With You, But . . . Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Sep 20, 2025
     | 566 views

    How many of us follow the rich fool's lead and build bigger barns by finding new avenues for our investments, as though this life is all that matters? Jesus tells us to beware of all kinds of greed, including being greedy with our own possessions.

My experience with it dates from nearly 40 years ago. In the spring of 1986 I was preparing to ...read more

     | 1,155 views

    Our perspective is the lens at which we view life and most importantly God’s role in our life. God is good all the time. Too many Christians define God’s goodness by their circumstances rather than Who God actually is.

    Sermon. The Believers Perspective - Take The Long View Scripture - Habakkuk 1:1-6 “This is the message that the prophet Habakkuk received in a vision. How long, O Lord, must I call for help? But you do not listen! “Violence is everywhere!” I cry, but you do not come to save. Must I forever see ...read more

    By taking Jesus' yoke upon ourselves, we learn from Him and find rest for our weary souls. This involves surrendering our own ways, embracing His teachings, and submitting to His authority.

School, friends, family, future plans - it all gets heavy, right? Well, Jesus gets it. He said in Matthew 11:28-30, 'Come to me, all you who are ...read more

    Job was struck with tragedy and loss like no one could ever imagine. Yet, Job could praise God and his faith in God was unshakeable. Through all the storms and trials that come our way, let’s hold on because Jesus our Redeemer lives and He is our protector, refuge and fortress.

And that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and turned aside from evil.” (AFV) The testimony about Job The bible when describing about this man called Job, introduces him as one who was blameless, ...read more
