Visiting minister Elder Mike Rodgers considers Psalm 23 and how it is a psalm for living, not just for death and funerals. The Lord is our precious Shephard who cares for his children. He leads us beside still, gentle waters, not raging rivers. He gives us hope for the mountaintop in the valley of the […]

The consistent message of the original church was to call men to repent and place their faith in Christ to press into the kingdom. The display of repentance and faith is the basic building block of the kingdom of God. When we see the Spirit move in a powerful way, we also see radical conversions. […]

In Jesus’ first public act after the announcement of his public ministry by his first miracle of turning water into wine, in Jerusalem, his first act was to cleanse the temple of filthy lucre.

Lic. Morgan Sims considers the consistent admonition in the psalms that continues into the New Testament that we are to make a joyful noise in worship unto our God. The Lord has done so much for us that it is our blessed privilege to present our bodies a living sacrifice back unto him in worship, […]
