    Jesus told Peter than Satan wanted to sift him like wheat. He would like to defeat us the same way today especially in a pandemic season. Don't let it happen. We do not have to go down under the pressures that come against us.

    Ways to Stay Faithful in a Sifting Season By Dr. Marilyn S. Murphree Jesus told Peter, “Satan has desired to sift you like wheat, but I pray that your faith does not fail.” Confidently Peter said, “Oh, don’t worry about me. I’ll be OK,” but Jesus said, “before the rooster crows ...read more

    Jesus shows the power of sacrificial giving through the two coins placed in the offering by a poor widow.

    PENNIES! ONE OF MY FAVORITE SAYINGS FROM GEORGE CARLIN IS ABOUT THE PENNY. HE WHIMSICALLY ASKED, “WHEN SOMEONE ASKS YOU, A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS, AND YOU PUT YOUR TWO CENTS IN, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OTHER PENNY?” WE PROBABLY DON’T PUT A LOT OF VALUE IN THE ONE-CENT COPPER COIN AS WE SEE THEM ON ...read more

     | 6,557 views

    John wants to know whether Jesus is the Messiah, because it doesn’t seem that the gospel he’s proclaiming is good news. But it is!

    I guess everyone has some idea what we mean when we talk about the gospel. But I wonder what your preferred translation of that word would be. Is Good News the correct translation do you think? Is the gospel necessarily good news? You may never have thought about that question, but if you do ...read more

    It hurts when we lose someone we love, and it hurts because we love them. Love and pain are never far from each other. You can’t have one without the other.

    The Bible repeatedly tells us we were created with a purpose. So, why do we have such a hard time believing that?

    Guidelines For Christianity: Blessed Are The Pure In Heart Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 26, 2015
     | 4,943 views

    Purity isn’t just being clean; it’s being single-minded and intentionally focused. In this instance, God wants us to be focused on His kingdom and righteousness.

    Tonight we’re going to look at the next attitude Jesus said we’re to have as His disciples. – “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” I wonder what that means, for they shall see God. Remember we said that “Blessed” means happy. We ...read more

    We need tradition to guide us, but often our traditions lie in the past fifty to seventy years. Our tradition should reach back further; like 2000 years ago! The anchor for our traditions should be in Jesus, not the inventions of men.

    This evening we’re going to discuss the topic of “tradition.” If you have ever seen the musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” then you probably recall a rather large Jewish man singing about tradition throughout the entire performance. You may recall that tradition was a dreaded word to the young ...read more
