Job 23:12 (NASB) “I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food .”

Many fortune seekers passing over the “Last Chance Gulch,” where now is Helena, Montana, were unconscious of its wealth, until a miner,...

Being Sifted

This Sunday our text will be Luke 22:31-38. Here Jesus warns his disciples that Satan, their infernal enemy, wants to have them to “sift them like wheat.” He wanted to sift the disciples like wheat.

He even stated very definitely that “there is no doubt that the world must end in one...

This Sunday we will be focusing on Luke 20:41-21:4. During our time together we will take a brief visit to the most oft quoted Psalm in the New Testament, Psalm 110. In this E-Bulletin I wanted to share a devotional on Psalm 110 written by Dr. R.C. Sproul … Enjoy

            I wanted to take a few moments and let you know our direction for the upcoming year in my preaching calendar. Yes I have a preaching calendar for the nutritional needs of our spiritual lives. The scriptures are our spiritual food and my responsibility is to provide a balanced diet for that need. Over the...

Ephesians 5:21 says, “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” and Philippians 2:3-4 reads “do nothing out of selfish ambition or in vain conceit but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also the interests of...
