1 John 4 1 John 4:10 I am reasonably sure that everyone reading this has heard some cynic say something like, “If your God is so loving, how can they allow _____________?” You can fill in the blanks with words like suffering, disasters, etc. I felt uncomfortable answering those questions for a long time until … More Devotional Thought – “God’s Love” – 02/18/2025
ABUNDANT LIVINGThe whole secret of abundant living can be summed up in this sentence: “Not your responsibility but your response to God’s ability.” —Carl F.H.

Or maybe our Theology is weak? Actually, none of the above, as our devotional will note God in His … More Devotional Thought – “The Visible God” – 12/27/2024
After I read the devotional below this morning I thought it would be a good reminder to all of both the sacrifice Christ made to become a human and the promise that God initiated with that covenant birth. What I found while doing research for the quote above and other references was that some profess … More Devotional Thought – “COVENANT” – 12/21/2024
Here is another verse that appears at first glance to be a contradiction and many antichrists (anyone opposed to Christ) will certainly point it out. Or comments like if Jesus was God why could he only work in the day? What about the millions who work the night shift are they condemned? As a believer … More Sunday Sermon Series “Work” – 12/15/2024
