• Psalms in 2024 | Psalm 88 & 150 - Mike Allison
    Nov 3 2024

    As our Psalms in 2024 exploration comes to a close, these two represent the extremes - despair and abject praise. Whether we cry out to the LORD day and night about our suffering and affliction (Ps. 88) or whether we praise Him for his greatness with trumpets, tambourines and dancing (Ps. 150), He hears us… and knows us and loves us. Praise the LORD!

  • The Journey: Become | Genesis 12-22 - Gene Curtis
    Oct 27 2024

    Abraham and Sarah’s son, Isaac, is the fulfillment of God’s promise to them that He would bring forth from them many nations. They were faithful and patient and followed the call of God to leave all they knew and go. A lot happened before Isaac appeared on the scene, but what about after? What might Isaac have to say about this adventure to nowhere in particular?

  • The Journey: Become | Genesis 12:10-20 - Gene Curtis
    Oct 20 2024

    Fear causes people to do things that seem to defy their very character and invites into our lives a whole host of problems. Make a big mistake? Tell a big lie to alleviate the consequences. When fear is a stronghold, it causes us to act and react in ways that are detrimental to our relationship with God and with others. Fear has no rightful place in the hearts and minds of believers in Jesus.

  • Psalms in 2024 | Psalm 2 - Mike Allison
    Oct 13 2024

    "Why do nations rage? Why do the people waste their time with futile plans?" Good questions as we observe the world today. "But the One who rules in heaven laughs. The LORD scoffs at them." Good answers because we are confident of who is in charge.

  • The Journey: Bless | Genesis 12:31-9 - Gene Curtis
    Oct 6 2024

    The LORD told Abram to leave everything and everyone he knew and go. Go where? Nowhere in particular, but he was told his obedience would be blessed. Not only would he be blessed by following the LORD’s command, but all the people who came after him… and all those who came after them… would also be blessed. “All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” vs. 3b

    His life was sure going to be an adventure!

  • Suffering | 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 - Craig Hammond
    Sep 29 2024

    In this fragile and broken world, suffering is inevitable. We all will go through suffering. We all will have opportunities to walk alongside those who are suffering. So how are we to handle this reality? How can we give comfort? The answer is found in Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church. He asserts that because we have a loving heavenly father who gives us comfort, we are empowered to share this comfort to others in their time of need.

  • The Book of Daniel: Summary - Gene Curtis
    Sep 22 2024

    We have come to the end of our series in the book of Daniel - boy, there was a lot.

    What did we learn? What did we not learn? During this series,“Christians, Culture and the Beast”, the parallels between that time and our modern culture and socio-political environment are clear; it’s about power - who wants it and who ultimately grants it. In the end, like Daniel and his friends, we can gratefully say that “we do not need to defend ourselves before [you]” to those who deny the sovereignty, power and greatness of God.

  • Daniel: Christians, Culture and the Beast | Daniel 10-12 - Gene Curtis
    Sep 15 2024

    Nothing makes any sense…but yet it does. God continues to give Daniel all sort of visions - strange and glorious all at once. The visions portray the great peril that will be visited upon those who are wicked, but those who possess wisdom and continue in faithfulness… well, that’s a different ending altogether.
