If God Is Love, Why Did He Hate Esau?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 4, 2024

“Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have HATED, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals’” (Malachi 1:2-3 NIV - emphasis mine)

The Bible is very clear that God’s essence is love (1 John 4:7-10). He has always been love, even before He created the first human beings. He has always sought to have a close relationship with them because they were made for this love. The entire story of humanity is wrapped up within it. Love is ...read more

Thanks Be To God! Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Nov 12, 2024

Salvation Cruise

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

Noah’s faith was no academic faith - a mere faith in principle, but an active faith—a faith in practice. He spent 120 years building that ark, committing himself to the God he knew. Our faith, too, must be active.

Illustration: Who Are the Saved OR Evangelicals? Gallup has at times asked 3 qualifying questions to make the determination; have you had a born-again experience committing yourself to Jesus Christ, have you tried to encourage someone to believe in Christ, and do you believe the Bible is the ...read more

The Peace Altar

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025

God gives peace before the battle, speaks identity before performance, and empowers fearful people through His presence, not their strength.

Most of us assume peace comes after things change. After the diagnosis is clear. After the conflict is resolved. After the money situation stabilizes. After the fear finally loosens its grip. We tell ourselves, “I’ll have peace when the battle is over.” But the story of Gideon opens with a ...read more

God Uses The Ordinary To Do The Extraordinary

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 24, 2025

It is amazing how some things never change. For example, when Christ was here on earth they had two kinds of men, as we have today. • They had the ordinary man • They had the extraordinary man

It never ceases to amaze me the people that God chooses to do His work. Such as… (1) David. In 1 Samuel 16:1-12 we read how… • Saul had been rejected as king and God sent Samuel to anoint a new king. Vs. 1-3 • Samuel went. Vs. 4-5 • Jesse and his sons were summoned to the sacrifice vs ...read more

Contributed by Marty Baker on Dec 24, 2025

The Christmas story reminds us of something we don’t always feel… but we deeply need to know: Just because you feel overlooked doesn’t mean you are forgotten. Big Idea: When you feel forgotten, God is still working in ways you cannot see. People may overlook you, but God never does.

My Grandad's Letter

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Jul 12, 2025

This week I found an old letter my Grandad sent to me as a kid - as I decyphered word for word the difficult handwriting it made me reflect on Paul's letter we have listened to this morning - and how if we decypher it word for word - it too can turn out to be so precious to us

I moved into my new house last December and (Don’t judge me for this) – I am still unpacking boxes – including some that never got unpacked from the previous move ten years ago… And while I was going through some boxes this week, I came across this – It’s a letter to me from my granddad written to ...read more

What You Have Defines Your Worth Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 14, 2025

The world says your value is measured by what you own—status, wealth, and accomplishments. But God says your worth is found in who you are (your character) and whose you are (your identity in Christ). We are not defined by what we accumulate, but by our foundation in Him.

### **Introduction:*** This morning, we are continuing our series “Lies the World Tells,” and today we are going after a big one. But before we dive into Scripture, I want to start by letting someone else do the talking. You see, there is a video that’s been floating around for years — some of ...read more

Back To The Basics

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 16, 2025

Whether we are little ones or big kids, we belong to Jesus, too. We are weak, and he is strong.

When I first started seminary, I heard a rumor that shocked me. I heard that Christian ministry is a very competitive field, that churches and pastors compete with one another, and that within churches individuals compete for position and status. But after I thought it over, I realized that of ...read more
