We learn human fear of physical consequences. We learn, to fear God, and to see the end result of sin and righteousness. And we learn to fear God in reverence, to love Him with our whole being. The fear of God can take us from a fear that the children of Israel had, to a place where we grow in...

Given by Ray Harris

When Israel left Egypt, some carried with them household idols despite all their interactions with God. When we were called and left the world, we carried an idol with us - ourselves with our natural mind.

Presumptuous sins are deliberate acts of disobedience, rebellion, and defiance against God’s authority and moral standards. They reflect a hardened heart, and a refusal to submit to God’s will.

What are you willing to die for? As we prepare for and approach this Passover, we can remember that Jesus Christ is the epitome of the righteous and true martyr, that we should live our lives in a way that imitates Him so that we too can glorify God.

Given by Mark Whynaucht
April 6, 2024

We have no need to be discouraged at Passover time. It is our opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to Almighty God and renew our dedication to putting on the new man.

Given by Ray Harris
March 30, 2024

Our human names are little more than labels since they seldom reflect our character and personality. However, God's many names, and His family name, represent eternity, righteousness, perfection, godly purpose and intent. We must be overcoming now to grow in the Father's family traits so that we are perfected - complete - in His family name at the resurrection. What's...
