One of the most misunderstood and debate doctrines of our faith is the Holy Spirit. In this second message on Him, we will continue to look at the clear teachings of Scripture regarding the Holy Spirit, who He is, and what He does. We will spend some focused time on His work in the life of believers specifically and what we have been commanded regarding Him. I hope you will join us for this important study

Adoption. It is a beautiful thing. So many children who would have gone through life neglected and lonely have found loving, nurturing families through adoption. Did you know that if you have put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have been adopted into the family of God? You are a little sibling of Jesus! Join me in Ephesians one this morning as we look at the wonder of our adoption as sons into the family of God. May He grant us the ability to comprehend and appreciate this incomprehensible truth.
As we continue the study of God’s plan of redemption for us, we will start with the bad news – our condition. We will look at why we needed Jesus to die for us and what is involved in His gracious provision. I will lay out the theology of our redemption in simple terms helping us all to grasp a little better the rich truths found in Isaiah 6 and 53, Romans 3, 5,6 and 8. I hope you will join in this study of God’s beautiful gift of Redemption.
Good Soil published a book called “The Story of Hope” and in it we read this: “[The Bible] contains more than 500 stories involving nearly 3,000 charters. Yet beautifully interwoven from cover to cover through all the Bible’s various stories is one Big Story . . .The Story of Hope – the story that unveils God’s unique provision in His plan to bring eternal hope to people of all times and places.” In this message, continuing the Foundations of Faith series, I want to give an overview of the Doctrine of Salvation, the message of the Gospel, God’s redemption story …
In John Lenin’s misguided humanistic song “Imagine”, he has on one level, a good intention. He wants to see a world that lives in peace and harmony. In his mind, the barrier to that is religion, and he essentially blames religion for the lack of peace and the root of all war and the fallout of war. The song wants a good thing, but it totally misses the real pathway to that ; following God’s plan. This song is a vivid embodiment of Satan’s lie. What we describe in the last part of our church covenant is living the ethic …
Recently, our church adopted a new Church Covenant. This update is designed to be more accessible to contemporary readers and seeks to do a better job emphasizes the biblical role and function of the local church and its members. It represents our commitment to follow Jesus as the community He created. Sadly, organizational documents of the church are often looked at like those lengthy “Terms of Service” documents you digitally sign to install an app on your phone. They are viewed as nothing more than a bunch of legalese that nobody reads, and everyone assumes, have little significance. Membership in …
We welcome Henry Johnson of Aaron’s Palm, a ministry that brings biblical hope and healing to God’s leaders around the world. Henry not only provides biblical training and counsel to churches and church leaders here in the US but also in restricted nations where policies, poverty, and paganism challenge church leaders’ access to biblical training and support. You will not want to miss Dr. Johnson’s solidly biblical and practical teaching so set aside some time now to join the service.
We are happy to have Rev. Scott Blackmon back with us again today. Dr. Blackmon is the administrator at Meadowbrook Christian School in Milton, PA. Pastor Blackmon has an extensive ministry background, much of that serving in Christian education. He also does graphic design and you might even find him behind the wheel of a truck keeping his CDL fresh. I have been impressed with his heart for God, his desire to see students reach their full potential, and his willingness to rise to challenges. I think you will be blessed by his ministry today so I hope you will …
We are pleased to have with us today Bob Long representing Gideons International. The Gideons International is the result of a meeting between two men who wished to band commercial travelers together for evangelism. What began in 1908 as an Association of Christian businessmen placing Bibles in hotel rooms has evolved into an expanding mission to provide Scriptures to all people in nearly every facet of life. Today, they have taken more than 2 billion Scriptures in more than 95 languages to 200 countries, territories, and possessions across the globe. They exist as an advocate for the lost, to bring …
