Jesus said He was at work in the world in the same way He saw His Father at work. God constantly works. The Psalmist says God never slumbers nor sleeps. God continues to work out His purpose and God works it through you. That’s an amazing thought for most of us. This week we learn…

STORYTELLERS George Huttar & Scott Hartless How easy it is to fall into sin. It happened to King David and happens to us too. David’s attempt to hide his sin led him into deeper and deeper trouble, and the resultant pain spread to numerous innocent people around him. Mostly David felt this unrelenting guilt. Read…

STORYTELLING BY SCOTT HARTLESS How important is personal holiness for the Christian? Paul speaks of kingdom moral standards in the book of 1 Corinthians. The Old Testament put it like this: “You shall be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy” (Lev. 19:2). Yet sometimes our culture seems very confused about standards of…

“Love, Love, Love . . . all you need is love.” The Bible would agree. But the Bible has so much more to add. Join us Sunday as TOM WYLIE preaches on 1 Corinthians 13, the greatest essay on love ever written. SEE YOU THERE! READ THE SERMON:  What’s Love Got To Do With It

THIS SUNDAY – SPECIAL STORYTELLING BY JIM AND JANET STAHL! What makes Jesus a unique religious leader? Why is Christianity different from all other religions? Perhaps you immediately know the answer to these questions. It’s the resurrection of Jesus’ dead corpse of course; a corporeal raising and not just a “spiritual” renewal of life. No…

Have you watched shows like American Idol, Hell’s Kitchen, Crash Course, or So You Think You Can Dance? The list goes on. Add those competitions to the massive contests in sports, and we see our culture’s pursuit of a “winner,” someone who’s “the best.” The Corinthians were like that − into winners; wanting to be…

Richard Peace writes in Holy Conversation that people everywhere want to talk about God, even people who consider themselves secular or non-religious. However, Christians are not necessarily the best conversation partners. Just take a look on You Tube and you will see many spoofs on our efforts. We are certainly known for monologuing rather than…

Do we have to see God to know God is here? In Esther, we “see” the magnificent faithfulness of God as God saves the children of Israel from annihilation, yet God isn’t even mentioned. Nevertheless, God’s unseen presence is at work – reaching down to rescue and restore people in surprising, miraculous ways. The things…
