    The entire ninth chapter of Amos helps us behold our God and live with hope rooted in His promises.

    A young man in a wheel chair, discouraged by his condition, asked his physical therapist, "Do you think I have a future?" The therapist replied, "As a pole-vaulter, no! As a man, yes!" In light of the dire predictions of the prophet Amos, the people of Israel and Judah might have asked, "Do we ...read more

    Study of Hebrews 11:24-26 where Moses leaves an example and truth for us as we press on in a culture that disdains “the reproach of” anything. The truth is that the path to joy is littered with sacrifice. We can embrace this pain and suffering injustice b

    Two lessons appear within letters to the Churches of Revelation (Asia Minor) to teach us valuable truths to strengthen our faith and resolve to holiness.

    THE BOOK OF REVELATION CONTAINS AN UNMISTAKABLE AND CLEAR MESSAGE TO EACH OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES. THE LETTERS CONTAIN A MIXTURE OF CRITIQUE, COMMENDATION, CRITICISM, EXHORTATION, AND CALLS TO REPENT AND CHANGE. WHETHER IT WAS PRAISE OR REBUKE, ALL THE CHURCHES HEARD THE CHALLENGE TO “LISTEN TO WHAT ...read more

    Are you wasting God's resources and gifts propping up a dying church?

    1 Cor 4:1  Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.  2  Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.  1 Peter 4:10  As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to ...read more

    Personal Holiness provides a glimpse to the world of God's kingdom here on earth.

    As Christians, we are called to live a very distinctive way. Being a Christian is a calling to the hard work of shaping the metal of our lives (our character) into a form that expresses God’s masterpiece within all of us. The whole letter focuses on Christian virtue and character and how ...read more

    Have you ever had the feeling that someone was about to deliver some bad news? What must have the disciples thought when Jesus showed up to eat breakfast with them? They again saw the heart of their Good Shepherd.

    Do you ever have the feeling that someone is about to deliver some bad news to you? Your teenager comes and tells you how great of a parent you are, and you can’t help but wonder, “What did you do? What do you need? How much is this going to cost me?” Your boss calls you into the office, begins ...read more

    In Matthew Jesus frames up the Jesus Life by speaking about the Kingdom of God. Not a physical kingdom with walls, a castle, and a throne. It is a spiritual Kingdom. Jesus is our King.

    Power Up Kingdom Living   Matthew 13:31-51 Introduction Power Up - it’s what we need to do when our spiritual batteries get low. We need to connect to the power source, overcome temptation, use the power of influence, exercise the spiritual disciplines, and escape judgmentalism in ...read more

    "The God Who Feeds My Soul”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jul 17, 2024
     | 1,323 views

    St. Augustine noted that every person has a God shaped hole in his or her soul. People attempt to fill that cavity with lots of things but Jesus the true bread from heaven. Deep in every human soul is a search for “Harmony” with our Creator, that was lost in the Garden of Eden.

    Heaven On Earth

     | 1,388 views

    If we are not identified to be a part of this spiritual Kingdom of God, we cannot enter the physical Kingdom of Heaven when we die. Our self-life is the main enemy of the life of Christ. The Bible calls this ‘flesh’.

    Mathew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force”. We notice through the scriptures, there are phrases like Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven. God says everyone doesn’t get into heaven but only the violent ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 1,125 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

    There is a cry from heaven that echoes in every heart that belongs to Christ: Go! And Proclaim Him! In Colossians 1:27–28, Paul reveals a glorious mystery—a secret now unveiled: Christ lives in you. Not around you. Not near you. In you. And that changes everything.

    Jesus’ hardest saying reveals revival’s secret: life begins when we feed daily on His presence instead of our pride.

    The Shocking Sentence Every follower of Jesus eventually stumbles over a sentence He spoke. Some verses cradle you. Some feed you. And then there’s the one that stops you cold: > “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.” It’s not embroidered ...read more

    The Wisest Investments

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 6, 2026
     | 106 views

    No one would want to come to the end of their life knowing that they had wasted their time and energy and that their live were not fruitful. Jesus confronts us to rethink our priorities and not waste our opportunities to invest in that which really matters.

    Last week, we talked about what we wrap our hopes around. This week, we turn our attention to another foundational question: What are the wisest investments we can make for the future? Not just financial—but spiritual, relational, and eternal investments. Let’s read Matthew 6:19–24 19 “Do not ...read more
