More Than Conquerors – Week 3

How things should be and how they are do not match up. The reason is sin. Like a crack in a screen, there is a flaw in the perfection of creation. All creation groans, we groan, the Spirit groans for the completion of redemption (⁠Romans 8:18-30⁠). It is not that suffering should not be minimized, it is that the glory of God’s redemption should be maximized (⁠2 Corinthians 4:16-18⁠). God will complete the good work He has started (⁠Philippians 1:6⁠).

When Heaven Meets Earth – Week 4

In this message from ⁠Luke 9:28–43⁠, we see Jesus revealed in glory at the Transfiguration before the disciples quickly return to the broken realities of life in the valley. The passage reminds us that while mountaintop moments strengthen our faith, real spiritual growth often happens in the everyday struggles of life as we learn to trust Jesus.

Waiting Room – Joy

God gave King David a promise. God would establish a kingdom and on the throne will be a David’s son (⁠1 Chronicles 17:1-15⁠). David waited. He waited many years. In his humble poem (⁠Psalm 27⁠), from experience David states, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let our heart take courage; wait for the Lord.” He wanted to honor God and build a temple, but God said no, that will be the task of his son (⁠1 Chronicles 17:16-27⁠). Still,…

Walk Wisely – Week 3

How do wisdom and money mix? ⁠Proverb 27:23-24⁠. Money is morally neutral. It is the love of money that corrupts and damages. We must understand that everything, ultimately, belongs to God. If we put all our trust in money, it will fail us. Life is more than riches. Spend wisely (⁠Proverb 21:20⁠), save wisely, be wise about debt (⁠Proverb 22:7⁠), and be generous (⁠Proverb 3:9-10⁠). Our model of living is Jesus (God Himself); He was rich, “yet for your sake…

A Living Redeemer – Week 1

Introducing ⁠Ruth⁠. We look at the three main characters in this story and read excerpts of ⁠chapters 1 & 2⁠. This is a small story of redemption – in the larger book of God’s redemption. Where one would expect there to be prejudice, there is dignity and acceptance. We can see how reflecting God’s kindness and love has a bigger role than you would expect. Don’t let circumstances define you. Let God’s redemption define you. Be redeemed. Live redeemed. ⁠Psalm…

New Creation

Pastor Donnie explains three new things that happen to each of us when we receive the resurrected Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

Humility from Heaven

The hymn Christ-Hymn of Philippians 2 is masterfully honoring the humanity and deity of Christ. Paul paints Jesus at the highest peak of honor, placing his name above all creation; and shows this from the vantage point of the lowest points of humanity; emptied, humble and obedient.

Faith in a Time of Unbelief – Part 5

Elijah invests in the next generation, he calls Elisha to the service of God. Elisha, “burns the yokes” of his past and asks for double blessings of the Lords spirit. God blesses a nation through revival. Pray for revival in our land.
