Tap here to send us a message! If one searches the Scriptures carefully, the story of Jesus can be found in every book in the Bible. The book of II Samuel speaks of a day when more were devoured by the wood than by the sword. This scene is representative of a kingdom Christ would later establish not with a sword but by His death on a wooden cross. 05/29/2022 - Sunday Morning Scriptures Used (In Or...

Tap here to send us a message! Although the saint is commanded to be content with such things as they have in the natural, this command does not apply in the spiritual realm. The four lepers at the gates of Samaria give us four principles that can help us to “press toward the mark.” God is looking for a people who will not be satisfied with where they are, but desire to dig deeper in Him.  05/15/2...

Tap here to send us a message! Lot’s wife is one of the most tragic characters you’ll read of in your Bible. She shows the danger of “lingering” in sin.

Judgment caught her in an instant, forever memorializing her as a warning of what happens to those who have “Heaven within their grasp, but Hell in...

Tap here to send us a message! The enemy will send everything he can to try to pull you out of the church. You have to be determined to stick it out no matter what.

Tap here to send us a message! When the Bible speaks of the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11, it mentions many that were saved FROM their suffering.

Tap here to send us a message! The church of the living God is His representation here on the earth. When Jesus gave His life on Calvary, it wasn't only to bring individual salvation, but it was to purchase the church.

The story of King Jehoshaphat is a warning of just how much God truly does care about the people with whom we join ourselves. Our soul is like a ship at sea, setting a course for eternity, and it will forever matter who we let in our ship. 04/03/2022 - Sunday Morning...

Tap here to send us a message! God is the "Father of lights," who is the primary source of every good thing that comes into our lives.
