Humble Yourselves
When we are insulted or offended because of our Christian walk, we can still consider it a blessing and an opportunity. When we humble ourselves and put the gospel and those who need to hear it above our own interests, the world around us can see God more clearly.
The End of the Road
The rejoicing of Sunday did not last long. By the middle the week of His crucifixion, Jesus deals with betrayal and denial in the midst of the disciples. Still He remains obedient to God’s plan to provide salvation for His people.

The Time That Has Passed
As we continue to mature in our walk with Christ, the things we learn should change our attitudes and actions. In 1 Peter 4, followers of Jesus are encouraged to leave their sin in the past and live their new lives by His example.
Just As He Said

The apostles’ solution was that men from among that church should be appointed to take on those responsibilities. The […]
Do Good
In 1 Peter 2, Christians are encouraged to live good lives among people with different standards. Peter shows us how to put that idea to practice as he begins the third chapter. Doing good begins with us, and it begins at home.
Inside Out
The Pharisees and experts in the law that Jesus addresses in Luke 11 have the same problem that many people have: they are so concerned with outward appearances that they forget what is important. God calls us all to be transformed from the inside out.
The Will of God
Each month in 2019, we will spend one Sunday evening addressing a question submitted by one of our church members. This week we discuss this question, “Do we use the phrase ‘It was God’s plan’ to much?” We will look at the difference between God’s wish, God’s will and God’s plan, and how these things […]
