    There’s that thread again, “in the same way.” In what way are husbands to give honor to their wives? In the same way that gives God the glory and makes His name more famous in the community. The motive matters. If our homes look like God arranged them

    1 Peter 3 is just one of many Scriptures that deal with our human families and the church family in the same context. One reason why the definition of marriage in our modern environment is so important is because God uses the analogy of human marriage to explain His divine relationship with his ...read more

    Have you ever felt like your back was up against a wall, the situation was hopeless? There was no way that you were going to make it. It seemed like you had nothing to look forward to. Understand, God is the God of the Impossible. He can and will help you

    God will take care of you 1 Kings 17:8-16 Elijah and the Widow 1 Kings 17:8 - 16 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there.

    The fact that the church needs a foundation can not be disputed. Let’s take a look at the way the foundation is laid as well as the purpose and types of stone used.

    Psalms 118:22, "The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the Corner." Ephesians 2:20, "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief Cornerstone." 1 Peter 2 4-8, "To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed ...read more

    We're fighting an enemy we can't see... but then we can't see Covid either. World rulers have geared up to fight Covid and will not be satisfied until that enemy is defeated. Are we as committed to defeating our enemy?

    Hearing The Loneliness Of The Cross

    This good Friday message speaks of the abandonment that Jesus expresses when God turns away from him. But it is loneliness that has meaning and purpose -- our salvation.

    Hearing The Loneliness Of The Cross Matthew 27:45-46 Usually, we have the cross posted at the top. Today, we have it right up front, some place that it can not be overlooked. On Tuesday, as the Worship Team prepared for rehearsal someone asked about the cross. It was said that it looks so much ...read more

    We are secure in our faith. John tells us that those who walk away from the faith were never a part of the faith to begin with.

    In 1936, when delays slowed construction, over $130,000 was invested in a novel safety feature: a vast net -- similar to a circus net -- suspended under the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Good morning, family. Today we’re going to dive deep into a passage from Mark. It’s a passage that highlights three profound aspects of the cross: The Cross as a Ransom for All, The Cross as a Call to Servanthood, and The Cross as a Model for our Lives.

    Do you feel comfortable sitting on the sidelines not taking a stand not stating an opinion? Have you given in to the pressure of todays society and found yourself like Gideon fallen away from God? Have you decided its better to hide than fight for what

    Giddy Up Gideon In todays scripture passages we see two very different reactions by two different men who decide to follow God. Let us look at the Old Testament account of Gideon.

    Seventh Sunday In Ordinary Time- The Opening Up Of A Relational Space By Forgiveness.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,240 views

    Forgiveness is a conditional gift offered that opens a relational space that expects a reciprocal response.

    There used to be a sign in the Princeton University Book Store basement which said: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy." Clever but love of enemies and forgiving, commanded by Jesus in our Gospel this Sunday, is not hoping that the other person will change or trying to be ...read more

    It is a hard fact to receive after all, that all God wants from us is to simply receive and believe in the actions He through Jesus have already accomplished. Will we accept his words or will we blindly ignore and forget His gift

    Romans 3:20 For no person will be justified (made righteous, acquitted, and judged acceptable) in His sight by observing the works prescribed by the Law.
