How Does God Communicate With Us?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

I've found that God communicates in innumerable ways. Every time I notice one way that God communicates, he changes it up. A new method appears. It's fascinating actually. God is diverse, incredibly so.

The divine designer, the architect, the crafter of the human soul is indeed present and interactive within the matrix of reality we call Earth. He is present, he is at work. Yet we cannot see him. Theologians call this the "hiddenness of God." But why is he hidden? Atheists might say ...read more

Using Money To Direct Our Hearts Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 25, 2022

Jesus tells us not to store up treasure on earth but to store up treasure in heaven. Doing that is certainly a much better investment! But an even bigger reason to do that is that where we put out treasure directs our hearts.

Today, I’m going to focus on the first three verses of today’s passage, verses 19-21, and one phrase in particular. In v.19, Jesus says, ‘DON’T store up treasure on ...read more

When God Takes Us Fishing

Contributed by James May on Aug 31, 2022

Why Does The Resurrection Matter To Us?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 9, 2021

Why should we be so concerned about proving that the resurrection of Jesus really took place? Sadly, many Christians can tell you the details about the resurrection while never thinking about the way that truth effects their daily lives.

Last Sunday we learned many of the truths about the resurrection. We all saw how the Apostle Paul proved the truth of the resurrection through the testimonies of 100s of people who saw the resurrected Christ first hand. But you might be asking, “Why does of any of it matter? Why should we be so ...read more

The LORD always comes through even when it seems that we have run to the end of the road and see no way out of the predicament in which we find ourselves, both as individuals and as a nation. He has let us go our merry way throughout the course of history, with the consequences to follow. Our ...read more
