    Humbly Heartfelt

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025
     | 198 views

    Christ’s humility reveals heaven’s heart—God stooping in love. When His mind lives in us, pride dies, grace flows, and hearts rise.

It’s as if Paul pulls back the curtain and lets us listen to how God thinks and feels. It’s not thunder or trumpet—it’s the quiet pulse of divine ...read more

    Buried Talents? Doing Nothing?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Nov 1, 2025
     | 203 views

    This will be an unpopular sermon? This is a much needed sermon. It is said 20% of people do 80% of the work. The harvest is plentious. The laborers are few. Could idleness be a sin? Zero times a 1,000 is zero. Let us be busy about our Father's business.

    DO NOTHING? BURIED TALENTS? IDLENESS? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Colossians 3:23 (NLT2) Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for ...read more

    It is said: SOON OR LATER ALL THINGS COME TO AN END. In Genesis t is recorded after each name: AND HE DIED. Seems we are so invested in materialism that we over look THE ETERNAL VALUE SYSTEM. All things that we see will come to an end. BE READY.

    Return To The Gold Standard

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 6, 2023
     | 1,088 views

    "Doing to others as you would have them do to you" is another way of saying "Love your neighbor as yourself," which isn't easy. Love seeks their long term good, not their short term happiness.

    About 50 years before Jesus’ time, two famous rabbis were competing for the future of Judaism. One, Rabbi Shammai, was an engineer known for the strictness of his views. The Talmud - that is, the authoritative commentary on the Hebrew scriptures - tells that a gentile came to Shammai and told him ...read more

    One of the biggest problems we have in this country and around the world today, is the problem with relationships.

    Our courts are backed up for years, and most of them are due to relationship problems.

    Immaturity (Sixth Sunday After Epiphany, February 12, 2023)

     | 1,758 views

    In the very first verse Paul has stepped on toes! There are two words that illustrate well how Paul stepped on their toes. These two words, “carnal” and “babies” lose some of their emphasis as they are transliterated from Greek to English.

    IMMATURITY Text: 1 Corinthians 3: 1 – 9 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.
