The consistent message of the original church was to call men to repent and place their faith in Christ to press into the kingdom. The display of repentance and faith is the basic building block of the kingdom of God. When we see the Spirit move in a powerful way, we also see radical conversions. […]

In Jesus’ first public act after the announcement of his public ministry by his first miracle of turning water into wine, in Jerusalem, his first act was to cleanse the temple of filthy lucre. Jesus did the same thing three years later in his first act after his triumphal entry, he cleansed the temple again. […]

On this Mother’s Day message, we reflect on the godly, virtuous women in our lives. In particular, we look at Mary, the mother of Jesus, and her example of thoughtfulness and devotion. There was a faithful group of virtuous women who remained faithful even unto the end – even after the male disciples all fled […]

Despite all her shortcomings, it is absolutely astounding that Jesus Christ loved his bride, the church, enough to die for her sins. This bride is not beautiful but defiled, ugly, and wretched. Christ loved us in that state and covenanted to save us. Even more than that, on a daily basis the church is the […]

Jesus could have chosen any venue to perform his first miracle, but he chose the wedding feast of his friends to turn water into wine. The servants were obedient to obey Christ and filled the waterpots all the way up to the brim. Then Christ did his parts and miraculously transformed that water into wine. […]

The consistent message of the original church was repentance and faith. The apostles called upon those in their preaching to repent of their sins and place their faith in Jesus Christ and submit to believer’s baptism. Repentance and baptism is the entrance point into the kingdom of heaven. Also, repentance and faith do not end […]

Lic. Morgan Sims considers the consistent admonition in the psalms that continues into the New Testament that we are to make a joyful noise in worship unto our God. The Lord has done so much for us that it is our blessed privilege to present our bodies a living sacrifice back unto him in worship, […]

What do we fear? What fear is the primary determining factor that dictates our actions? The reverential awe and fear of Almighty God has to be the primary consideration in our actions. If we let the fear of man, the fear of failure, the fear of other people’s opinions, or any other fear control our […]

Jesus Christ affirmed to Nathaniel that he was the expression of Jacob’s ladder that we find back in Gen. 28. Jesus was the ladder upon which angels ascend and descend upon, the only connecting link between heaven and earth. Jacob had a profound experience with the Lord in what he called the house of God, […]

We consider the amazing testimony of the centurion at the death of Christ that “Truly this was the Son of God!” This centurion was in charge of the scourging, the mocking, and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. However, by the time Christ gave up the ghost and a great earthquake came, the attitude of this […]

One of the identifying attributes of the kingdom of God should be amazing signs, wonders, and spiritual healings that can only be performed by the power of God. The miraculous manifestation of spiritual gifts has now passed after the time of the apostles, but we should still see amazing movements of the Holy Spirit in […]

One inevitable effect of God growing his kingdom is some degree of persecution for Christ’s sake. When we are called to go through persecution for righteousness’ sake, we should rejoice that we are counted worthy to suffer shame for the name of Jesus Christ. We have a special fellowship with Jesus Christ that we simply […]

Nathanael was originally skeptical of Jesus Christ, especially since he was from Nazareth. When Jesus says he saw Nathanael under the fig tree, an intimate moment between just him and God, he immediately knows and confesses that Jesus was the Son of God. It is a blessed reminder that God sees us in every circumstance […]

Visiting minister Elder Robert Adam considers the parable of the good Samaritan as Jesus’ clarification of what it truly means to love your neighbor. Love is the end of all the law – first love to God and then love to others. If we show partiality in our love, then we dishonor God’s law of […]

We need to be willing to share God’s blessings in our lives with others we come in contact with that we may not know. Our joy of God’s grace in our lives should overflow to those we come in contact with. As the healed leper and dumb/deaf men, we should blaze abroad the blessings in […]

Jesus Christ set the pattern for a simple invitation and evangelism with the original disciples – Come and see! When Andrew inquired about Jesus, he told him to come and see where he dwelt. Andrew and Philip followed that pattern as well, inviting their brother and close friend to come and see the Christ. We […]

The primary way that God expands his kingdom is through personal, relationship evangelism. We are already natural evangelists. We already share good news that we are excited about with our family and close friends. Evangelism is just as simple as sharing God’s blessings in our life with our family and friends. We all have a […]

Many times our personal opinion and emotions can dictate our decisions. However, our emotions and experiences can deceive us. We have to set the standard in our mind that God’s word is true and reliable, even more so than our personal experiences. Even if our mind deceives us regarding , we must conclude that God’s […]

2023 Fellowship Meeting. Elder Buddy Abernathy considers how our hope can be lost and wane from time to time. Thankfully, God is gracious to revive our hope. We are saved by hope and begotten again to a lively hope as an anchor of our soul, sure and steadfast.

2023 Fellowship Meeting. Elder Larry Wise reminds us of the amazing love of God that was manifested towards us. God sent his only begotten Son to save us from our sins. Now, we are called to show that same love of Christ to others in our lives as well.
