Who Will You Trust Most Today?

Who Will You Trust Most Today?Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Who do you trust? The answer to this question can bring heartache or peace of mind. Whether your life has purpose or you whether you’re just spinning your wheels.One of the biggest mistakes we make is trusting ourselves. The problem with…

Comfort Is Not The Goal

Comfort Is Not The GoalHow has God given you abundant life, even if it’s not an easy life? John 10:10bI have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. What does it mean to live life to the fullest? Does it mean healthy,financially successful, and powerful, or does it mean something muchgreater than these temporary goals. We all want to live a meaningful life butwe can’t do that if we miss the purpose of life. People…

Good Friday

Good Friday At Home Romans 5:6-8 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This year, for the Good Friday Service, we are encouraging our church family to connect with…

Your Past Doesn’t Control Your Future

Romans 8:28-31And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who lovehim, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those Godforeknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, thathe might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those hepredestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those hejustified, he also glorified. 31 What, then, shall we say in response to thesethings? If…

Thank God!

Thank God! Why is being thankful so important? As I look online at how people are responding to the world around them, I can’t help but notice that, in a country where our poor are living like the rich in many other countries, there’s a flourishing sense of entitlement and vengeful bitterness that lacks any sense of thankful hearts for what we do have. I believe this is one of the main reasons why depression and suicide are skyrocketing. People…

Overcome Evil With Good

Overcome Evil With Good! Proverbs 25:21                                                                                                        If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;    if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. Have you ever regularly prayed for one of your biggest enemies?  Did your heart change toward that person? How? We live in a world that says, you should hate anyone who thinks just a little different than you do. Some universities have safe zone buttons on campus in case someone says something you disagree with,…

A Taste of Heaven

A Taste of Heaven Philippians 2:1-4       Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the…

AMAZING GRACE

AMAZING GRACE By Elder Jim Shedd   INTRODUCTION:  As I began to think about the subject of GRACE, I first looked at what we  normally mean when we use the term, and how we most often  understand it.  (it may seem somewhat old fashioned, as we don’t use it a lot except in Christian circles and contexts where it is a word rich and full of meaning).  It seems that generally the term GRACE means something like “Unmerited Favor” or…

We are One in Christ!

August 2nd Sermon: Spiritual Warfare:  The Unseen Battle (Series) We are One in Christ! Romans 3:21-27 21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. God’s ‘righteousness’ stands at the heart of these verses. How can we be righteous before God? What are three areas you struggle with consistently? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There is…

The Dicipline of Obedience

This Week Elder Chair Home Haynes shares with us scriptures relating to Obedience to the Lord.   Discipline of Obedience Deuteronomy 13:4 It is the Lord your God you must follow and Him you must revere. Keep His commands and obey Him; serve Him and hold fast to Him. 1 Samuel 15:22 But Samuel replied: “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice…

Freedom Has A Purpose

Freedom Has A Purpose We are free in Christ. What does that mean? I’ve been going through Galatians for my devotions the last few weeks and I came to Galatians 5 on the 4th of July. There I read, Galatians 5:13 “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” I was trying to understand how my three adopted children who are…
