Let It Go Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Nov 15, 2021

Some people get depressed when they see the trees losing their leaves in autumn. Some even say that the trees look sad. Autumn though shows us how beautiful it is to let things go. We need to consider what, in our lives, we need to drop in order to heal our souls, move forward in our lives and grow.

source: http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/weatherjokes/falljokes.html Why does Humpty Dumpty love autumn? Because he had a great fall! Why are trees very forgiving? Because in fall they “let it go” and in the spring, they “turn over a new leaf.” Fall is a time of transition. There are ...read more

The Gifts Go On

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000

Taking a look at spiritual gifts

Church conflicts happen for pretty unusual reasons. In the 1890s there was a small Baptist church in Mayfield County, Kentucky.

The Gifts Go On

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Jan 28, 2001

To Boldly Go!

Contributed by Andy Payne on May 4, 2009

Jesus’ disciples struggled to understand what he was talking about. Through Scriptire, see how we need to look at the bigger picture in how God works.

Space the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise; its five year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

"Let It Go" Series

Contributed by Brad Henry on Oct 20, 2011

The last part of the book of Jonah is all about attitude. God used Jonah to help save the Ninevites. Now Jonah is mad because he disliked the Ninevites. No matter how bad we may feel about our enemies we need to see them saved as WE ALL were once enemies

Our final lesson on Jonah is all about attitude. Jonah 3:10 “When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened.” This is why Jonah fled in the first place. He did not want God to spare ...read more
