    Is it too much? Is it too hard? Sometimes when we read the Bible, we wonder, can it really be done? It seems like so much, it seems like such a high standard. I’ve wondered that at times.

    "I've read that when Edward VI, the king of England in the 16th century, attended a worship service, he stood while the Word of God was read. He took notes during this time and later studied them with great care. Through the week he earnestly tried to apply them to his life. That's the ...read more

    The main point of this sermon is to remind us of God's heart for children and our responsibility as followers of Christ to care for their physical and spiritual needs.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're diving into a powerful passage from the book of Lamentations that speaks to God's heart for children, the need to feed them, and our response as followers of Christ. I recently came across a quote from Christian author and speaker, Christine Caine, that ...read more

     | 3,641 views

    In one magnificent moment Jesus painted a lasting portait of greatness that demonstrated and mandated our attitude towards children.

    “Doing It to Jesus” Mark 9:33-37 Like a good carpenter Jesus never missed an opportunity to drive the nail home. He capitalized on making teachable moments out of the ordinary scenes of life. He majored in turning the values of society upside down. Can you picture the scene here in ...read more

    The Feast Of Weeks.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 148 views

    When I was a small boy growing up in England, Whit (or 'White') Sunday was a time when the girls put on new Summer frocks, and the boy wore a new suit. I knew little about Pentecost, but nothing at all about the Feast of Weeks.

    THE FEAST OF WEEKS. Deuteronomy 16:9-12. At first glance the Feast of Weeks appears to be a purely agricultural festival (DEUTERONOMY 16:9-10), an offering of firstfruits to the LORD (cf. Exodus 23:16a; Exodus 34:22a). The timing of the Feast of Weeks is seven weeks and a day (in other words ...read more

    God told Israel you need to clean up your act by washing yourself and make yourself clean.

    “Clean Up our act” Isaiah 1:1-20 1. God expects not meaningless sacrifice (The ritual stuff) but sacrifice that are meaningful (sincerity) • 11 “The multitude of your sacrifices— what are they to me?” says the LORD. “I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened ...read more

    Knowing the cycle of disobedience to God and loss of blessings that Judah and the people of Isaiah experienced time and time again, it would not seem like much of a risk in predicting that the very same fate awaits this nation of ours. There will be suff
