“Teaching Our Children of God’s Will, Word, & Ways”
Steven A. Bush
You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children.
“Grace Without Effect is Like a Bounced Check”
Steven A. Bush
When God’s love comes flowing down to us, it renews our minds, transforms our hearts, revamps our speech, and redirects our hands and feet to Godly actions.
“Jehu Slays the Yayhoos”
Steven A. Bush
Jesus has borne the punishment for our sin on the cross. That’s called love saturated in mercy! But rejecting His atoning sacrifice has eternal consequences. Jesus’ mercy indeed triumphs over judgment but we dare not spurn that mercy.
“Thy Words Were Found”
Steven A. Bush
The essence of genuine faith is one birthed by God’s Word, through the power of His Holy Spirit, resulting in internal transformation that outs itself in love-driven obedience, joy-driven worship, and a voice that can’t stop talking about it!
“What’s That Smell?”
Mark B. Thogmartin
The more we sacrifice for God’s kingdom and purposes – the more we put off selfish ways and walk in a manner that pleases God – the stronger and more pleasant the aroma we radiate.
“Counting the Cost”
Steven A. Bush
So when excuses were given to Jesus when the invitation to follow Him was clearly given, He saw through them. And yes, He sees through all of ours as well. Wearing a cross is much easier than bearing one but the latter is what Jesus has called us to do.
“By What Standard?”
Mark B. Thogmartin
By looking to God’s unchanging and eternal word as our standard, the church can shine the light of God’s kingdom in this dark and confused world leading many to the truth.
“The One Reason People Choose Not to Follow Jesus”
Mark B. Thogmartin
Jesus offers a generous and loving invitation to all who would come to Him. He promises that He is gentle and lowly in heart, and to those who come He promises rest.
“Trusting Means Leaning”
Steven A. Bush
Proverbs 3:5-8 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil”
“The Book of Remembrance”
Mark B. Thogmartin
The prophet Malachi was called by God to confront those post-exile Jews who had become complacent in their attitudes and worship. They followed a form of religion, but they were apathetic and the practice of their faith had become half-hearted at best.
