God’s Sovereignty
By Bill Ehlers on October 27, 2019
Romans 8:28 is probably the second most well-known and used verse in the evangelical Christian's Bible vocabulary. The big question is beyond do we know what it means. The biggest question is, do we believe it to be absolutely true in our lives and in the lives of others. Bill Ehlers presents us with this challenge to help us understand what...

By Brad Quiring, Stu Streeter on October 20, 2019
Ephesians 4:11-13 shows that Jesus Christ is like the "Head Coach" of the church. Jesus plans and directs how we operate in the world as individual believers and as a whole church family.

By Brad Quiring on September 22, 2019

Examine Yourself
By Brad Quiring on September 8, 2019
1 Corinthians 11:23-32. Communion is a vital part of every church and Christian's life. It was instituted by Jesus Himself. We have been called to practice communion and to do it carefully. This care means we must take a deep look at ourselves, evaluate our motives and our reasons not just for what we do, but for whom we are participating.
Take a Sabbath
By Brad Quiring on September 1, 2019
When God had finished his creation work, he "took a Sabbath" from his work. When God put together the covenant with his people, Israel, he commanded them to "take a Sabbath" from their labours. When Jesus was on the earth, he told people to come to him, and he would give them "Sabbath". The Sabbath, like everything in the Law,...

By Brad Quiring on August 25, 2019
The Power of God to Raise the Dead - Acts 20, 1 Corinthians 15. People have been falling asleep in church for centuries. It's most likely the preacher's fault.

The Most Wondrous, Amazing (Slightly Strange) Show on Earth: King of the Beasts (Literally)
By Brad Quiring on July 28, 2019
God had given the whole world to King Nebuchadnezzar. In fact, in Jeremiah 27, God called Nebuchadnezzar his "servant". In a move that is common to all people, Nebuchadnezzar began to think his incredible success was a result of his wisdom, intelligence, craftiness and greatness. Little did he know that God was not going to let him get away with this...

Share: In Their Language
By Brad Quiring on June 16, 2019
We have the command from Jesus to share our faith. Most Christians really do want to share their faith. Our modern culture, though, has drifted so far from the true God, from church and the Bible that we cannot assume they know what we are talking about when we share our faith. We have to take the time and have...
