    How is your hospitality? The story of Joseph and the coat of many colors teaches us to have an attitude of five times the welcome.

    When Two Remain Two: Marriage To An Unbeliever Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 1,730 views

    As long as the divorce is sought by, and initiated by, the unbeliever, the Christian spouse is not enslaved to Jesus’ command not to divorce. Yet, the believer will plead with the unconverted spouse to change their mind on wanting a divorce.

    Marriage is the story of our lives. It is the story of grandpa’s love for grandma for these past fifty years. It’s the backdrop of the world our children are born. It is the fabric of so many of our families where dad and mom set up a home. Their love is constant. Their love is normalcy. Romantic ...read more

    Why Father was silent when he heard his younger SON demanded dividends? Why Father parted his property with his younger son knowing that he is going to leave him and live according to his plan? These questions are related to the foreknowledge of God.

    Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

    We are a forgetful people. In America, holidays like Memorial Day help us remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Mordecai instructed that God’s people celebrate an annual festival to remember how God had saved them. God also gave us ways to remember today.

     | 545 views

    How often does God have to wrestle with us, through His word and His Spirit to bring something to our attention? He’ll wrestle with us until we come to the end of ourselves, until we see the issue for what it is, until He is first

    Introduction In today’s text, Acts 19:21-41, we encounter a city in turmoil—a riot ignited by the powerful disruption of the gospel. Ephesus, a hub of idolatry and cultural pride, was shaken not by force or political movements but by the transformative power of God’s truth. Acts 19:21-14, ...read more

    It's easy to overlook just how radical a statement Jesus makes here. He is doing nothing less than fundamentally redefining the family. What are the implications of actually living this out?
