A. W. Tozer, in The Pursuit of God, writes, “Everything is safe which we commit to Him, and nothing is really safe which is not so committed.? The Apostle Paul wrote to his children in the faith, “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you. I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he...

On Sunday we looked at five reasons that the neXt generation may chose to walk away from the Christian faith: 1. Compulsory Christianity – following Christ is a duty not a passion. 2. Cliché Christianity – knowing the right answers, but never internalizing       them. No heart change. 3.Comfortable Christianity – believing that Jesus saves us from sin and for    eternity, but not pursuing a relati...

The Bible tells how Moses served the Lord, died, and was followed by Joshua who took over leadership and “the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses? (Deut. 33:5-9). God told Joshua He would be with him wherever he went (Josh. 1:5-9). But after Joshua and his generation died, “the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord? (Judges 2:8-11). Somehow the next generatio...

This is the last lesson in the marriage series. We learned last week that men and women are made by the Creator to need respect and love. As we learn to apply Jesus' teaching to be other-centered in our marriages, we can move from the crazy cycle to the energizing cycle and ultimately to the rewarded cycle. Bob taught that the bottom line is that the wife is to give her husband the gift of respect...

This is the third lesson in the series on marriage. Do we justify self-centeredness or do we want to experience marriage the way God intended? Do we accept forgiveness from God but refuse to forgive others? Jesus teaches us to be other-centered, to risk living out our faith in Him within our relationships. The Bible teaches that we are "to present our bodies as living sacrifices" (Rom. 12:1) in al...

On Sunday Bob talked about life after death. All around us people have beliefs about the afterlife but for most people, it remains a mystery. A big, fat question mark. For those of us who take Scripture as truth, though, we not only believe that there is life after death we eagerly anticipate it!
