Sure Reward Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 7, 2021

In these trying times when calamity engulfs us, many have grown weary in their prayer life. God wants to reassure such that there is definitely a reward for those who pray fervently. The time we spend alone in the presence of God, behind shut doors is not in vain.

Psalm 91 - Study 20 - A Sure Reward We read in Psalm 91:8, “Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.” (NKJV) The word that we will study in depth from the above mentioned verse is the word ‘reward’.

A Risen Redeemer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

We want to consider the great story of the resurrection from the point of view of the women who came to the tomb with no hope of a resurrected Jesus.

Back in 1851 two missionaries, one English and the other American, were walking past the temple of Siva in Tanjore, India. They noticed the people carrying out one of the brass idols. It was a hot sunny day and the idol had become heated. One of the worshipers happened to touch it, and feeling ...read more

The Last Breakfast Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

The Lord's supper was prepared by others, but the Lord's breakfast is really just that, it is the Lord's breakfast that He prepared Himself. This is the only men's breakfast we read about in the Bible, and the Lord of the universe is both the host and the cook.

The Bible says God's mercies are new every morning, and the result is that many of His blessings have come to His people at breakfast. Hudson Taylor, the founder of the China Inland Mission, tells of this event in his life as he prepared to go to China. When he got to China he knew he would ...read more

Joseph's Monologue - A Christmas Play Series

Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 29, 2021

This is a powerful Christmas monologue. Christmas from the eyes of Joseph. A proper production can be very powerful.

Did you know that Joseph has no speaking parts in the Christmas story? The Bible never quotes anything that Joseph said. With that in mind, I want to take some creative liberties and put some words into Joseph's mouth. It's important to let you all know that this piece is just a creative ...read more

What Makes Us One?

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 20, 2021

You can put a bunch of cats in a burlap bag and you'll have ONE bag full of cats, but you won't have unity. So what makes us one body? The answer is so obvious we sometimes miss it.

OPEN: Today is our “Unity Service”. We have 3 different languages represented: Burmese; Spanish and English. A lot of us look forward to this worship service because (despite the fact that we come from different backgrounds) we all really seem to like each other. I believe that this is the type of ...read more

Getting Prepared (Advent 2) December 5, 2021

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 4, 2021

There are people like those in Malachi’s audience in every generation. They don’t make preparation a priority. These were covenant people who were side-stepping their covenant.
