Mini-Message Monday: Trash for Treasure (3 mins) — We could do no better in introducing this talk than to quote Martha Snell Nicholson’s poem: Let me hold lightly things of this earth, Transient treasures, what are they worth? Moths can corrupt them, rust can decay,...

Mini-Message Monday: The Repair Shop Theologian
Who does the radio talk show host call when he has a theological question? The young believer working at the repair shop, naturally.
The Uniqueness of Christianity׃ God’s Free Gift of Salvation
True biblical Christianity is not a comparative religion. It has no peers. Does Judaism offer a Savior from sin? Does Islam present the righteousness of God to us as a gift by faith? Does Hinduism give certain hope beyond the grave? Does Buddhism invite you into a...
Mini-Message Monday: Be Different!
When God calls His people to be holy, what does that really mean? In one word, we are to be...different. Here's a true story about a man raised to hate Christians, and the impact one young believer had on his life by not simply being different, but different the way...
Bridging Life’s G A P S (repost)

Mini-Message Monday: The Lost Wallet
We marvel that Jonah cared more about a plant than he did people (see Jonah 4:10-11). Or that the Gadarenes cared more about swine than they did about a soul and the Savior (see Mk 5:17). Yet this story shows that we all need to be regularly reminded about the...
Fireside Friday: In The Mixing Stage
Care for a mouthful of butter? A raw egg or two? A drink of vanilla extract? Or perhaps a cup of flour? That's your birthday cake--in installments! Are we complaining about what God is making of us while it's still in the mixing step? Wait till He's done! The gospel...
