    Conformity Is This World’s Sheep Dog Trials – A Very Serious Matter Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,215 views

    Conformity is the rule these days under increasing totalitarianism, but that will present problems for the Christian. One stands firm or compromises. To be faithful means holding fast to God’s word, not yielding our faith to distorted values so that we “fit in.” This is a difficult area.

    On Membership Part Two Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jul 17, 2023
     | 1,420 views

    the Bible clearly teaches that Christians are members of the Body of Christ. But is local church membership Biblical? We examine this in this study. This is not a typical sermon, but more of a Bible study lesson for our congregation.

    In doing some serious study on membership and what that looks like in the Church at a local level one encounters a potential problem. It just isn’t there. That’s not to say it is bad, wrong, or sinful to have formal membership rolls, as having such is very practical and quite helpful to local ...read more

    The world is moving to a universal conformity as governments legislate for uniformity and control. But what about the Christian for he/she must not compromise the faith. As evil increases how will that impact Christians. Compromise is an ever increasing danger.

    Unhindered Forgiveness

    Contributed by Kory Labbe on May 6, 2023
     | 1,978 views

    Forgiveness is one of the basic principles of the faith and yeah it is a discipline that is one of the hardest for us to master. Too often forgiveness has been misunderstood and therefore out of grasp of us. Unhindered forgiveness is the first step to radical healing in our lives.

    Life is not easy. This is one thing that you talk to anybody, and everyone will agree that there are hard things that happen in this life. Right before Jesus was arrested in John 16, Jesus is trying to prepare his disciples for what is about to come. Verse 32: 32 But the time is coming—indeed ...read more

    Two reasons for the Holy Spirit - power to live for God and to work in those who are yet to believe.
