    If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God Him raised from the dead, you shall be saved.

    THE WORD OF FAITH THAT WE PROCLAIM. Romans 10:8-13. For Moses, the word was ‘nigh thee, in your mouth and in your heart, THAT YOU MAY DO IT’ (Deuteronomy 30:14). The Apostle Paul makes a new application of this as “the word of FAITH which we proclaim” (Romans 10:8). According to Paul, the object ...read more

    The message of Christ is a life-changing message! It can open the eyes blinded by sin. It can straighten the limbs withered by iniquity. It can cleanse away the leprosy of the soul. It can bring new life into a dead spirit. Jesus has the power to set men free!

    Acts 4:13-20 WE MUST TELL IT ALL May 15, 2022 On 1st Sunday we preached just prior to this passage, where Peter and John had been used of the Lord to heal a beggar who sat at the gate of the Temple called Beautiful. The Jews were amazed, and Peter used their ...read more

    To Whom Shall We Go?

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 9, 2022
     | 2,258 views

    When Jesus spoke about the Bread of Life, His analogies troubled a lot of His hearers who found His teaching hard to understand (John 6:51-65) and ended up walking away from Him. In asking the disciples if they wanted to go away, Peter's response was the model of faith and assurance (vv.67-69).

    Jesus' teachings either inspired or infuriated those who heard Him. They continue to have the same effect on anyone who read His words as recorded in the Scriptures today and decides whether to surrender their lives to Him or reject His mercy and reap the eternal consequences. When He taught ...read more

     | 1,656 views

    How Prepared Are We, Really?

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Oct 24, 2020
     | 5,372 views

    In the parable of the 10 virgins, the whole point is being ready - truly ready - for coming face to face with Jesus - either when He returns or when we go to Him. This message, which relies heavily on William Barclay for context and content in the first part, explores this theme.

    How Prepared Are We For Jesus? If we look at this parable with western eyes, it may seem an unnatural and a "made-up" story. But it actually telt tells a story that could have happened at any time in a Palestinian village and which could still happen today. A wedding was a great ...read more
