Dec 27, 2020Casting Off the Things That HinderBy: Phil PeacockSeries: (All)“Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Hebrews 12:1 No serious athlete would run a race wearing work boots, or carrying a bag of groceries, or with pockets full of rocks. All of those things would greatly hinder their performance, and they know it. In the same way, God gives us the wisdom to discern the attitudes and actions that hinder us from living the victorious Christian life. What are the things we need to leave behind here in 2020 so that we can be more like Jesus in 2021?

Nov 1, 2020Wake Up! God Is Calling!By: Jeff PoythressSeries: (All)"If He calls you, say, "Speak, Lord, for you servant is listening." 1 Samuel 3:9Eli, the elderly priest of Israel, gave to young Samuel the best possible advice and it is spiritual instruction we ought to heed today. When the Lord speaks to us, we need to have a humble and willing spirit. What if every night going to bed and every morning getting up, we were to sincerely say to God, "Speak, Lord, for you servant is listening." Imagine the wonderful truths He would reveal to us!
