The Proverbs of Solomon – Proverbs 11:1-31

Mar 22, 2018 | Wednesday

  There are AS many great verses and proverbs in this chapter as any other in the Book. Each of them may stand on their own – and yet every one of them deserves their own lesson. For example, there is verse 12 – “He that is void of wisdom despiseth his...

The Adrenalin of Battle – Ephesians 6:18

Mar 18, 2018 | Sunday Evening

  This afternoon we will finish our little study on the panoply of the Christian – the armor of God. Paul has been painting a picture of the best-dressed soldier of Christ. His medium as been watercolors, rather than crisp, clean oils or even pastels. I say...

The Sword of the Spirit – Ephesians 6:17

Mar 12, 2018 | Sunday Evening

  One of our hymns asks, “Am I a soldier of the cross?” For the child of God, the answer must be “Yes!” for this is our calling as long as we live in this world. Paul told Timothy – & through him he told us – to “endure hardship as a...

Jesus’ Precious Blood – Romans 5:8-9

Mar 11, 2018 | Sunday Morning

  There are church buildings up and down this valley that are filled with people today. There are also a lot of people not in church, but we live amongst a great deal of religion. Many of our near-by churches are much younger than this one. And some of them just SEEM...
