    Today’s church struggles with idolatry just like the nation of Israel struggled with it. Repeatedly Israel invited God’s displeasure by their dual allegiance which was and is idolatry.

    Who is Your God? 1 Kings 18:21 “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” - Today’s church struggles with idolatry just like the nation of Israel ...read more

He was sentenced to grind (grain?) in the prison house. Even worse, he was blind—the Philistines had put out his eyes ...read more

    While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022
     | 2,235 views

    Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

    WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more

    Researchers have concluded that the major cause of diseases that harm mankind are not so much from bacteria or virus, but rather because of the state of one’s mind. The adverse stress and disturbances to the mind leads to break-down in our health.

    Psalm 91 - Study 27 - Your emotions especially anger! We read in Psalm 91:9-10, “You, O LORD, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your home. No harm will come to you. No sickness will come near your house.” (GW) As we continue to meditate on Psalm 91, we have realized that the word of God ...read more

    The Branch Of Motherhood (Mother's Day 2022 Version)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 4, 2022
     | 2,264 views

    How can we relate Mother’s Day to today’s text, John 15:1 – 8? We can relate Motherhood to today’s text by thinking of Motherhood as a branch on the Vine that Jesus is talking about. John 15:1 - 8 echoes Ezekiel 19:10.

    THE BRANCH OF MOTHERHOOD Texts: Ezekiel 19:10 & John 15:1- 8 Ezekiel 19:10  Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard transplanted by the water, fruitful and full of branches from abundant water (NRSV). John 15:1-8  "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. ...read more

    I believe that we know some of the characteristics of a mother, but in the event that you don’t, allow me to share with you.

    God wants us to know Him, and many times in Scripture He uses different pictures and examples to reveal Himself and His character to us. Today as we have gathered together to worship our God and to honor the mothers among us, and may I tell you that God considers the role of motherhood to be very ...read more

    How can being in God's Will contribute to His Glory? The story of Lazarus' death and how it brought glory to God.

    If I were to hold up a painted picture and ask what you think of it, there would be a variety of answers. Some might say it’s beautiful. Others might say it’s ugly or doesn’t make any sense. The reason that is, is because when it comes to art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some works of ...read more
