Monday, August 30th, 2010During family camp this summer the various speakers spoke on the last words of Jesus as He shares with His disciples the most important things He wants them to remember when He is gone.

“Great is the Lord…”
Friday, July 30th, 2010We are entering into the month of August. This word “August” actually means great or magnificent. So this is a good month to be reminded of the greatness of God. King David wrote in numerous of the Psalms “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise…” (Psalm 48:1; 96:4; 99:2; 145:3). [...]
Declaration of Independence
Thursday, July 1st, 2010234 years ago, on July 4, 1776, 13 colonies declared their independence day from Great Britain. The signers of the Declaration of Independence said they were free.

Bank Accounts

Stand United
Friday, April 30th, 2010160,000 Christians are losing their lives each year because of their faith. As we proclaimed on March 7 we will not abandon the persecuted, but will stand united with them. We too will face persecution, though not likely as severe. Yet there are times when faced with even mild persecution people fail. [...]
Three Commitments

Speaking of another year, we are starting our series on the Sermon on the [...]
Gifts Given
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009The Christmas season is here. During the month of December, what we call the Advent season, we celebrate the coming of Jesus. Part of this celebration is the giving and receiving of gifts. In the prayer of Jesus in John 17 we discover several resources, what we could call gifts, which God has [...]
