Last week we kicked things off talking about the first of Jesus’ 3 commandments in our main passage from Matthew 16:24. To “deny yourselves” is the first command. And today, we’re going to take it one step ...read more

  • When The Brook Dries Up

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022
     | 3,250 views

    Somehow we have the mistaken idea that the Christian life is like a fairy tale.

    That is, you accept the Lord as your Savior, and then you can live happily ever after, and never have another crisis in your life! But there is no such life for any of us while we are here on earth. It does not matter: • If a person is rich or poor • What country a person lives in • What family a ...read more

  • On That Great Gettin' Up Morning

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 26, 2009
     | 9,663 views

    For Remembrance Sunday: getting past grief means crying out honestly and insistently for help, and it means having confidence in the God who raised Christ from the dead and thus defeated death itself.

    The hymns we have sung and the Scriptures we have read have one important word that is common to all of them. That word is "morning". "Morning", as in "good morning". "Morning" is an important Biblical image. I am leading us to worship around the symbol of morning today because I want us to use it ...read more

    Today in America, we have many laws that are on the books, but they are never enforced.

    God also has many laws but His laws are always enforced. For example, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” is a law that almighty God put in place. It is not a law that is applied to some people; it is a law that applies to everyone. Jacob’s sons lived an ungodly life. • In Shechem, ...read more

Since he had only one minute to speak, he decided to ask them only two questions. The first one was, “How many of you are praying for the ...read more
