Remaining Faithful To God Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 17, 2013

One of the hardest things for us to do is once we have a relationship with God to keep that relationship going and to remain faithful. Israel faced this same problem over and over and in the psalms we look at today, we find some ways to help us stay loyal

Psalm 78 looks at the past to draw lessons for the present. Specifically in Israel’s life, God wants them to avoid the mistakes of the past. In here are important lessons for us for, as the old saying goes, those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 1 – 8 Asaph ...read more

The Resurrection Part 1 Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 27, 2011

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the very heart of Christianity. If there was no resurrection then there is no Christianity. Period. Want to know why it is so important? Paul's got that answer.

Plain and simple, the gospel of Jesus Christ stands or falls on the resurrection. The resurrection is the culmination of what we call “the Christ event,” which includes the birth, life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without the resurrection, the gospel is ...read more

To imitate God means to be like him. As far back as Leviticus 11:45 God said, "Be holy, for I am holy."Jesus gave us the starting point for imitating God in the Sermon on the Mount. We need to mourn over our sin with a broken and contrite spirit. When we

Love Your Government Neighbor Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 14, 2009

As Christians many believe government is an evil that should be avoided or opposed. Paul encourages us to be a redemptive force for the gospel by actually getting along with governmental authorities.

As we get into chapter 13, let’s sum up where we’ve been.

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Oct 1, 2015

Rather than giving a list of ideals to strive for, Jesus was showing the people how widely available God’s kingdom was – even for ordinary, poor, ignorant, imperfect, despised people. The beatitudes describe their struggle & grace to thrive in adversity.
