    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025
     | 41 views

    Sin disguises death, but the cross reveals truth. Choose Christ’s altar and guard your home from the silent discipleship of darkness.

    Introduction — The Altars We Don’t Notice There was a time when altars were unmistakable. Stone. Fire. Blood. Devotion. Awe. Everyone knew the moment of worship. Everyone knew to whom they were offering themselves. Today, the altars have changed. They glow. They scroll. They entertain. They fit ...read more

     | 1,057 views

    The presence of pain and suffering in the world do not take away from God's goodness or power. God's answer to suffering is the cross and the resurrection.

The children had prayed fervently that the cat would get well, but unfortunately, it had died. 2. The children couldn’t understand why this had happened, so they decided that ...read more

    Contributed by William Akehurst on Jul 7, 2025
     | 285 views

    WHO DO YOU SAY JESUS IS? THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT DEFINES ETERNITY. True discipleship begins with a right confession of who Jesus is, embraces the necessity of the cross, and responds with wholehearted surrender to follow Him; regardless of the cost.

     | 2,224 views

    Jesus explains more fully about submitting to Him and we are challenged to “deny [ourselves] and take up [our] cross and follow [Him].” This is not easy, but does speak to our soul and the judgment to come.

    True Mercy Over True Sin

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 22, 2025
     | 232 views

    Struggling with Sin? You're not the first. This morning we look at Law and Grace, and how great the Mercy Jesus gives us over True Sin is.

    True Mercy Over True Sin Good Morning. Today we look at Law and Grace, two things that live in constant tension in a Christian’s life. A common knock against focusing too much grace is that it will encourage a lack of love or respect for God’s Law. As Paul says in Romans 6, because we have grace ...read more

    Two disciples were challenged to cross the sea of Galilee. It takes faith to cross over, and we must make the crossing if we ever hope to be in God's will. Crossing over is about moving from where we are to where Jesus is.

    “Many years ago, it was decided to put a suspension bridge across a wide gorge. How could they build a bridge across such a wide space? If fact, how could they even start? They shot an arrow from one side to the other. The arrow carried across the gulf a tiny thread, and thus the connection was ...read more
