The Mission’s Minute
I’m starting a new project called “The Missions Minute”. I want to know more about God is doing around the world. I want others to know more about missionaries. I want to help missionaries achieve the goals God has put on their lives. Once a week I’ll send out an email with a selection of…

God Is
On Sunday evening we began a series, “God Is – The Revelation of the Nature and Character of God”. Our first message simply considered the truth that God is, He just is. In Exodus 3 God reveals to Moses His name, I AM. We learned three truths about God from the passage. 1. Our Separated…

A New Home and a New Church
Disclaimer – Why am I writing this? Because people across the world have invested in us for so many years I feel it is right and fair to summarize the rollercoaster that has been our life, a life that many of you have shared with us. A new chapter has begun for us and I…

Technology and Your Family and the Uninvited Guest

“Of Zebulun”
32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. 33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war,…

Enemies
“Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time. (9) And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch…

“I Will”
As the humble herdsman of Tekoa drew his prophecy to a close, he shared a series of “I will” statements from God. Amos’ prophecy has much to teach us today. As Amos looked at his society he saw a facade of might and money that hid the sad truth that as a nation a rottenness ate…
