Unbelief Locks the Treasures of Heaven

By Seth Gatchell | May 3, 2022

John 16:8 When he (the Holy Spirit) comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because people do not believe in me; “…sin because people do not believe in Me.” Sin is more than just doing wrong actions or not doing what we ought.…

Smoke on the Water

By Lance Brown | April 25, 2022

So I got to spend a little time up at the lake last week.  It was cold.  The air temperature was about 40 F in the morning and the water was a crisp 65 F.  The effect of the morning sun, was a beautiful “smoke on the water” effect that just made me appreciate the…

Resurrection, the Day After

By Seth Gatchell | April 12, 2022

RESURRECTION, THE DAY AFTER Three days ago ‘twas doom. What happened to my gloom? Like morning’s breath and mist, Disappeared with a kiss.   No greater truth than this! And Him I almost missed! No greater One to know. No greater love to show.   Seth

A Hymn From My Father

By Lance Brown | March 28, 2022

As I come upon my parent’s anniversary, my thoughts sometimes linger back to when I was a child.  We would visit grandpa’s farm, in my dad’s old blue pick-up truck, which he named Beulah.  In a deep, rich bass, he would sing a hymn that has become a favorite of mine, and it would forever…

LOST, Part 2: The Downward Spiral of Man

By Lance Brown | March 20, 2022

We continue to week 2 of our new series: “Lost.”  While claiming to being “open-minded” we actually are quite closed-minded, only hearing what we want to hear, only believing what we want to believe. Instead of being driven by rationality, we are driven by our passions and desires–for either lesser things, or wrong things. This has…

God Sings and Rejoices

By Mark | March 20, 2022

The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.   God calls upon His people to sing and rejoice, then He sings and rejoices over them. Stop and…

The Narrow Road

By Seth Gatchell | March 8, 2022

My first twenty years I walked the road broad Until empty, longing, I came to know God. Forty-nine years since; on God’s path I have trod. Different kinds of terrain I’ve walked on this Earth’s sod.   Hovering jungle growth, fear and danger abound Amidst the stark unknown ‘twas once lost; now I’m found. On…

MATURITY

By Seth Gatchell | February 8, 2022

Persevering Even through doubts. Unflagging hope, Even with pouts.   Finding His strength, In my weakness. Doing good, Despite my badness.   Planting His seeds, Watering blooms. Will I see flowers When love resumes?   A handful of seeds, A watering can, Dry, barren ground, Is where grace began.   Flowers in vases, Delightful fragrance.…
