    This message was given in a very public setting when our church met on a Sunday morning, not in our building, but at the local public park, inviting all at the park to join us in worship.

    Israel could not produce the type of fruit that God had intended because they tried to produce it on their own- and not God’s way. God expected to find peace, but instead He found bloodshed; He expected to find justice but instead He heard cries of oppression.

    A Branch On The Tree. Charlie Brown, “Snoopy some day we will all die.” And Snoopy says, “True, but on all the other days we will not.” Here's my addendum, -The believer never dies! The grapevine has always been central to Israel’s agriculture and economy and was an important symbol for ...read more

    As long as we’re looking at other people, we’re not getting on with what God has called us to do.

    "staying Connected"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021
     | 6,744 views

    In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more

    We have begun to look at what theologians and church fathers across the centuries have called the "marks" or the "notes" of the Church. Perhaps we can get a fresh look at God's words about the Church.

    Ephesians 4:1-6 We have begun to look at what theologians and church fathers across the centuries have called the "marks" or the "notes" of the church. Coming without apology from an evangelical and scriptural perspective, still we are seeking to avoid the unproductive tension ...read more

    “Faith and the Power of God” Mark 9:14-29 Most of us want to live on the excitement of the highs in our lives.

    We have, through Christ’s power, the ability to reduce our chances of becoming vulnerable to the attacks of Satan.

    WHEN THINKING ABOUT THE SCHEMES OF THE DEVIL DID YOU KNOW THAT ALL THE WARNINGS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT ABOUT CONFLICTS WITH SATAN AND HIS DEMONS ARE ADDRESSED ONLY TO CHRISTIANS? WHY?
