Mary’s faith and devotion to God is an example to Christian mothers today.

Today, as you know, is Mother’s Day; a day set apart to honor Mothers and Motherhood. Why mention Mother’s Day in church? After all, it’s not a religious holiday. Mother’s Day was created by the state, not the church. Since 1914, the President has made an official proclamation every year ...read more

Two Minute Warning

Contributed by Thomas Dibble on May 30, 2003

More than ever we need to pay attention to: Our walk with God, Our prayer life, Our heart, Our attitude, and The way we think. Why? Because it’s two minute warning time. Jesus is coming soon.

Melchizedek – A Better King Series

The author of Hebrews takes Melchizedek, a shadowy figure, and shows that he was a prototype of the Lord Jesus Christ - the true king of Righteousness

He appeared once, in Genesis 14 and he was referred once more, in Psalm 110. You could hardly call this “top billing,” but the Holy Spirit reached ...read more
