Let Us Stay Focused On Heaven
As we struggle to find ways to get through certain situations, difficult days, or challenging journeys, we must never lose focus on Heaven! The Apostle Paul tells us in I Corinthians 9:24-27 Do you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that …
Baptism
Most religious discussions will most always include Baptism. What does the Bible tell us about Baptism? Baptism is necessary to be saved! Acts 2:38 says Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the …
How Can We Find Comfort?
Suffering, challenge, and despair seem to always be close by. Given all of these challenges, how can we find comfort? We can find comfort because of what the Psalmist tell us in Psalm 9:9-10, The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in …

The Lord’s Church Is Not A Denomination
We are free to choose our career path, to choose where we live, & to choose who we vote for during elections. When it comes to worship, our commitment to spiritual matters, & the religion we practice, Scripture is the guide, not our choices! Society tends to say, “one group is as good as another.” …
Are we preparing future Elders?
Scripture directs the church and Elders shepherd the flock. We recently touched on the preparation of future Preachers. Like the Preacher shortage, the church seems to have an Elder shortage. Before we can prepare men for this role, we must understand the qualifications of an Elder. We will begin with Titus 1:5-9 (Paul writes to …
Are We Preparing Future Preachers? (3)
