    Where is your faith? how long will you give someone the benefit of the doubt until you have to question them? how close are you willing to get?

    We watch TV and go on the internet, and the advertisements tell us that we can be happy, sexy, rich, or famous, if we only buy a certain product. I remember buying the Ab Isolater that was going to give me washboard abs. Power 90 is going to make me los

    Wherever Jesus went, he tried to connect to people, especially, the hurting, the sick, the needy, the despised and the lonely so that they then might be connected to God. The same is true for us. At the heart of following Jess is you and me having connect

    What God Can Do With A Happy Meal!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 25, 2016
     | 9,919 views

    Often we feel like our resources are inadequate. "There's no way God can use me." But we find that God delights to use weak things because it redirects people to Him. Little is much when God is in it.

    Being Tested

     | 5,353 views

    Life will always test us. We can't escape it. But in all of our tests in life we have to include the testing of our faith. In order for our faith to be strengthened it has to be stretched.

    When I was a teenager, I used to deer hunt on a lease in Leakey, Texas. These are not mountains by any chance. But even in the Hill Country of Texas it can be challenging to get to a hunting spot on the side of one of those hills. I got the notion one time to climb to the top of the hill. What ...read more

    Jesus promised the disciples that He would send His Holy Spirit to be with them. Jesus also promised that same promise to us. He won't leave us alone either because His Holy Spirit indwells us.

    I think I speak for everyone when I say that we fully understand loss. Whether it is the loss of a parent, or a spouse, or a child to death or the loss of a close friend because of a relocation, we know the pain of losing someone that is meaningful to us. The gospels describe such a loss for the ...read more

    It’s in those times of trial, we are still to be thankful! The times we experience in the valleys of life, when we feel like all we have to hang onto is God. Those are the times we should realize the only thing we have ever had to hang onto is God!

    The Attitude of the Heart Illus. From a sermon of Johnny Creasong’s Some people are just impossible to please.... A large dog walks into a butcher shop carrying a purse in its mouth. He puts the purse down and sits in front of the meat case. “What is it, boy?" the butcher jokingly asks. ...read more

    Stewards Of The Mysteries

    Paul doesn’t describe himself as a clergyman. He describes himself as servant and steward. The servant role indicated hard lowly work. The steward role was carefully administering the Gospel mystery: God in Christ reconciling the world to Himself
