    Don’t you ever wonder why we suffer? Is God still in control, and if He is, what is the purpose and the meaning of all this? Can’t God control the winds anymore like he did on the Sea of Galilee, or is this some kind of judgment--if so, what are we to l

    to hear with ears that really hear, to prepare our “soil” for the seed of God’s Word

    The Parable of the sower, is a very familiar portion of scripture. It can be very tempting to think to yourself, "I’ve heard this story, hundreds of times before, and there is nothing new here for me." Because we think that we know this story so well, we can close our ears to what the Lord wants to ...read more

    God is in control of everything but allows people to make choices which lead to consequences.

    God is in control of everything! How many of you believe this?? Many of us will say this because we believe in a big almighty God. If you’re going to pick a god, pick a good one! Pick a God who is in control and Almighty! But someone can say, “I don’t believe in God, so that proves that God is not ...read more

    Faithful preachers are sent to restore the earth, so that the meek may inherit it.

    THE RESTORATION OF GOD’S PEOPLE. Isaiah 49:8-16. In Isaiah 49:3 the Servant is named as Israel, yet the New Testament identifies the Servant as Jesus (Matthew 12:14-21; Acts 8:32-35): our Lord is the ideal which Israel typologically represented.

     | 5,142 views

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more
