The intent is...
Foundational Principles of Spiritual Growth (Part 11) - Consider It: Forgiveness - NT (Part 4)
– January 11, 2020
The most common ways that we think about forgiveness are where Aphiemi is translated in the New Testament as forgive or forgiven. Jesus Christ makes profoundly clear, both in direct statements and in parable, that we must forgive others their trespasses if we want the Father to forgive us our...
Foundational Principles of Spiritual Growth (Part 10) - Consider It: Forgiveness - NT (Part 3)
– January 4, 2020
Forgiveness in the New Testament takes us to an even deeper understanding of this subject. The base Greek word for forgive, forgiveness and forgiven is Aphiemi (Ah-fee’-a-mee). Same as in the Old Testament, forgiveness is a spiritual matter, not a physical matter. Here we will examine three less...
The Three Faces of Unity (Winter Family Weekend)
– December 28, 2019
Unity is a difficult word to define. In Ephesians 4:2-3 we are encouraged to be “endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Unity in the Church is our goal as we see in numerous Scriptures, but we also see that...

Foundational Principles of Spiritual Growth (Part 8) - Consider It: Forgiveness - OT (Part 1)
– December 14, 2019
When sins occur, there are many people who are hurt, including the one primarily guilty of the sin. That was the case in David’s sin with Bathsheba, and that is the case in our sins. We need forgiveness, not just because of the hurt, but because we have...

“Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan..." Those were some of the sobering words from President Franklin D. Roosevelt after Pearl Harbor was attacked on...
Never Underestimate the Importance of This Doctrine
– November 30, 2019
One of the Church's Fundamental Beliefs centers on several specific promises from God. Without understanding this doctrine one cannot fully comprehend many fulfilled—and yet to be fulfilled— prophecies, nor can you understand the spiritual aspects pertaining to God's plan of salvation for all humanity. What...
Foundational Principles of Spiritual Growth (Part 7) - Consider It: Repentance (Part 2)
– November 23, 2019
Repentance is more than just confessing or making the statement, or saying the words “I have sinned against the Lord”! And, without the preservation and insertion of Psalm 51 into 2 Samuel 12:13, one may think that all one has to do to have their sins forgiven is to confess their...
