    Not Just For Sundays Anymore Series

    Contributed by Brian Vickers on Oct 26, 2022

That meant that people came together on Sunday mornings, sat in classes mostly segregated by age groups, and learned about the Bible. Like we said a few weeks back, it was a Sunday thing. ...read more

    Paul talks about a radiant, glorious church. Just what would it take for us to be a radiant, glorious church? What are the characteristics of a glorious church?

    Picking Up Bones

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 30, 2022
     | 1,691 views

    I have a bone to pick with you. In the valley of dry bones, we can learn something about ourselves and our local churches. Let us take a moment to find out what these dry bones can tell us.

    Nothing on this earth can bring bones back to life, only God can restore life. Ezekiel came across a valley of bones. The Spirit of the Lord told him to prophesy to these bones, and as he did, the sinews and flesh came on them, and then the skin. Ezekiel was then told to prophesy for the wind to ...read more

    Accountability is a vital aspect in every relationship. Every Christian married couple have a responsibility to be accountable to each other, and also invest quality time with each other so that their relationships can blossom and grow.

    We read in Matthew 18:23, “Therefore is the kingdom of the heavens likened unto a man who is king who would take account of his slaves.” (JUB) The kingdom of God is as we considered earlier compared to a king who would hold accountable his slaves who worked for him. The king held the slaves ...read more
