Rejoice In The Lord Always!

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 16, 2022

The source of our true rejoicing is found only through a right relationship with God! Everything apart from him is crumbling and disappointing. Yet our God is eternal, glorious, lacks in no way, and never fails. So those who enjoy a living fellowship with Christ are given true gladness of heart.

Are we known as a joyful people? Is that the reputation we have, that we’re often rejoicing? Perhaps not. On first impressions, our worship is pretty sombre. In speaking about our faith, most of us are reserved, and we keep our emotions well in check. Even when we have what we call “the celebration ...read more

God Inhabits Our Praises

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

Do you feel as though you are not experiencing the Lord, or you feel as though you are having a dry spell in your life? Begin directing all of your heart unto the Lord, and sing praises unto His name, and He will show up in your life.

This evening I want to talk about the importance of praising God. Just how important is it that the Lord receives praise from His people? Allow me to open with a Biblical example. In Luke 19:37-38, the Scripture tells us: “Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the ...read more

Breaking Our Flask

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 1, 2022

Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”(1) Our passages of Scripture for this morning speak of sacrifice. One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more

A Generation Of Worshippers

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Who may ascend the hill of the Lord and worship? The answer is those who are of the generation of Jacob. The term “Jacob” is a general classification for any generation in which many people turn to God and seek to worship Him.

We’re going to begin our message tonight by reading through our passage of Scripture, which is Psalm 24:3-6: 3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. ...read more

Obedience, Not Sacrifice

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Disobedience is an extremely costly sin. God desires our obedience over our sacrifice. If we are trying to worship and we have been disobedient to the Lord, then He won’t accept our worship until we make our life right with Him.

This morning we’re going to discuss the sin of disobedience to God’s commands. Disobedience is an extremely costly sin; for we know that when the Israelites were on their exodus from Egypt that they refused to follow God’s plan for taking the Promised Land, and the consequence was spending forty ...read more

When my wife was sick at home she called me at the office and asked me stop by the grocery store on my way home to buy a loaf of bread.

I walked all over the store and finally found the section that had the bread. That was not an easy job because there were all kinds of bread on ...read more
