Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. The Hebrews writer declares…

(I read this article during the sermon last week. I thought it would be good for you to be able to read it. It fits well with our sermon series from Joshua, and our Theme for 2025, “Go Forward: Be Strong and of Good Courage.”) God has always wanted His people to go forward in doing His will. To be motionless, or go backward in His service, is to fail. (See. Rev. 3:15-16 and Lk. 9:61) When the children of…

“Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 Jn. 2:14). John made a strong statement regarding loving the world and the things in it… We want our Father’s love to abide in us, and if we should believe we do not have His love in us we would be deeply discouraged. His love is the highest love there is, and to become…

“But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love” -1 Corinthians 13:13 In our confused, broken, and chaotic world, there are some fundamental things every person needs! Yes, they need each of these things. These things are not to be taken lightly or dismissed as trivial. They are basics of life. We need faith. Without faith we cannot please God (Hebrews 11:6). Without faith we cannot be saved (John 3:18; 8:24). Without trust in…

In 2 Corinthians 3:2-3, Paul tells the church of God at Corinth, “You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.” When we read through the New Testament Epistles – the letters that men inspired by God’s Holy…

Last Sunday our Elders challenged us with the Plan of Work for 2025! I want to urge you to be prayerful that God will use each of us effectively for His glory in the year ahead! May we all experience growth in our personal relationship with God, in our one another relationship with each member of our church family, and in the development of our talents in service to God. Someone once said, “Every journey begins with a single step.”…

In Isaiah 6, the prophet is shown the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, with the train of His robe [His majesty] filling the temple. Isaiah is immediately overwhelmed by a sense of his sinfulness in the presence of the Lord’s holiness. As he fears for his life, a seraphim flew to him with a live coal, touched his mouth and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.”…

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing — Life forevermore. As we come to the last bulletin for 2024, what a wonderful opportunity to…

Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! 9 Sing to him; sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! 10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! 11 Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! 1 Chronicles 16: 8-11 (ESV) It is a wonderful time of the year. We have just celebrated the Thanksgiving Holidays where many…

The Declaration of Independence concludes with these words: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” It is easy for us to take our freedoms for granted, but the founders of this nation knew that success would only be possible through reliance on God’s divine providence and through their total commitment to serve and support the cause.…

The first century church came together on the first day of every week to worship God, and a commanded, regular discipline of their worship was purposeful giving.

(1…
