Mar 24, 2019 | Timothy Parrow

February seems to have been a difficult month for us here at the mission in Stillwater. Bro. Dick Gaches hurt his knee severely and has not been able to take an active part in our services for about a month now. He went to the surgery center for surgery on his leg,...

The Blessing of Light – I Peter 2:9-10

Mar 24, 2019 | Sunday Morning

  No matter what the world throws at us, to be a Christian, and to live the life of a Christian, far surpasses any earthly opportunity or possibility. Those Christians being slaughtered by Muslims in Africa and Asia may live short, painful and fearful lives, but they...

Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 19:22-29

Mar 7, 2019 | Wednesday

  There were no verses at the end of this chapter which jumped out and demanded “preach me!” There are no verses of deep theological significance. They are all typically practical in Solomon’s style. One verse would make a good evangelistic text, but that...
