Have you ever felt disappointed in life? Have you ever felt like there has to be more to life than what is in front of you? Do you find yourself disappointed in the relationships that are supposed to bring you joy? Join us this Sunday morning as we look at John 15 at the words of Jesus […]

The inadequacy of the OT animal sacrifices to take away sins permanently requires God’s intervention in the sacrificial system. His intervention involves God preparing a body for Jesus (incarnation) that Jesus might provide eternal salvation through the sacrifice of his own body.

What in your life demonstrates that you have a relationship with Jesus? John tells us that a follower of Jesus will produce fruit, more fruit, and much fruit. So what is “fruit” and what’s the big deal about “fruit” as it is presented in John 15? Is your life producing “fruit”? If so, what kind […]

Our world is full of fear. Thousands of acres have been burned in southern California, 40,000 homes have been damaged by flooding in Louisiana, the Zika virus is now threatening the 24 billion dollar tourism industry in Miami Beach, and there have been 411 people shot and killed in Chicago this year. 84 people were […]

Dale and Jodi Davis share with us what’s happening with the project assignment they just completed in Togo. Their next project will be the Memorial Christian Hospital in Bangladesh.

“For better or for worse” is a phrase that is often used in wedding vows in which the bride and groom promise to stay together through the good times and bad, no matter what happens. Paul uses similar words about the gathering of the church in Corinth to participate in the Lord’s Supper or Communion, […]

John 13 begins with John declaring that Jesus loved His disciples to the end. This even included His love for Judas the betrayer. Jesus continues His last words to His disciples by commanding them to love one another in the same way that He loved them. Jesus tells them that this will prove to everyone […]

“Dear Jesus … Thank you for this day … Thank you for this food … In Jesus’ name I pray … Amen!” Does that prayer sound familiar? Maybe you’ve prayed it, maybe your kids have prayed it, or maybe you still pray that prayer at mealtime. Why do you pray “in Jesus’ name”? And while […]

You’ve probably heard the term “racial reconciliation” several times over the past few weeks. In recent days, we’ve been reminded of the horrific effects of sin in our world, our country, and in all of our lives. But, “reconciliation” isn’t a new concept. In fact, it’s an idea that has been around since creation, and […]

It has been said that sports is the universal language. But more likely, pain is the universal language. We live in a world filled with pain, and with pain comes troubled hearts. But the pain of this world is no different than the pain in the world Jesus came to. This Sunday we will look […]

Have you ever known something to be true but it doesn’t practically affect your life? Have you ever been so sure of a person or situation only to be disappointed? Have you ever gotten to a place in life where you felt like you had hit rock bottom and had no idea how to pick […]

What is it that demonstrates the presence of Jesus in a person’s life? What external proof distinguishes people who are genuine followers of Jesus Christ from those who are not? What one thing would you say sets believers apart from those who don’t know Jesus? Too often Christians are known more for what they “don’t” […]

Happy Father’s Day! Father’s Day officially began in 1910 in Spokane, Washington, where 27-year-old Sonora Dodd proposed it as a way to honor the man who raised her when her mom died in childbirth. Dodd was at a church service thinking about how grateful she was for her father when she had the idea for […]

The events taking place in the world today can create worry, doubt, anger, frustration, and fear. We say we believe that God is in control and has a plan for everything that is taking place. But if we dwell for too long on all that is happening around us, we may start to wonder how […]

Do as I say, not as I do! These are words that we typically associate with parents who tell their kids to do one thing while they do the opposite. The literal meaning of that phrase is “don’t imitate my behavior but obey my instructions.” In Jesus’ last words to His disciples, He didn’t say, […]

More and more our culture seems to be moving away from a biblical worldview. Understanding what a godly response in these difficult times can be challenging for the believer. Our definition of godliness can help us or it can be toxic to us personally as well as Christianity as a whole. Sunday morning we will […]

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see Jesus? Touch Jesus? We would be privileged to see God in the flesh! Would that not be a blessing from God? There is coming a day when that will happen, to God be the glory. Our text this Sunday (John 1:14-18) will give us […]

Who is Jesus? Does He have a beginning? What did Jesus have to do with creation? Isn’t God the creator? Why did God need John the Baptist to testify about Jesus? If Jesus created the world, how could the world not recognize Him? Why does the world need Jesus? Why did those who were His […]

If you only had a few days left to live and you wanted to say something meaningful and memorable to your family, friends, and neighbors before you died . . . I’m talking about people you know well and with whom you have spent considerable amounts of time. What last words would you share with […]

Have you ever been disappointed to the point of despair? Have your worse fears been realized and you are left wondering how you will cope?
