“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” (Rom 15:13) I was thinking about a message I heard recently on Job. If ever there was a person who could have felt hopeless and helpless it was Job. I’m […]

(Psalm 146:5) “Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:” This one verse contains the three things people most seek for in life: HELP, HOPE, and HAPPINESS. Many think happiness comes from a large bank account, a new home, or obtaining more stuff.

Today we canceled our services due to the snow and ice. As I look out over our yard this morning, I see snow everywhere. What once was dirt and grass and weeds, now looks pure white because it all has been covered by the snow. Seeing the snow reminded me of: (Psalm 85:2) “Thou hast

“And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called THE HOUSE OF PRAYER; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” (Matt 21:13)   God has really been dealing with me that our church hasn’t truly been a “house of prayer” like we could or should be. That is not our

There used to be a TV commercial where an elderly woman was on the floor and she presses the button on her Medic-Alert necklace to call for help. She says, “Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” Did you know there are multitudes of Christians just like that lady? Somehow Satan has tripped them
