- Jul 19, 2020Why GO to Church
Jul 19, 2020Why GO to ChurchPosted by Tim BrooksSenior Pastor Tim Brooks from Christian Ministries Church in Hot Springs, Arkansas, challenges us with the question, "Why go to church?" In a time when churches are being discouraged and, in some cases, even banned from meeting, is it really that big of a deal to meet in person? After all, online church is church, right? It's definitely more convenient and less time consuming. Please listen as Pastor Tim breaks it down and powerfully reminds us why in-person church is not just better, but neccessary for the Christian.

- Jul 5, 2020A Relationship with God Part 5
Jul 5, 2020A Relationship with God Part 5Posted by Ashley EllisonPastor Ashley teaches us to rightly divide the passage in Luke 11:5-8, which many have taught as a comparison to God when it is, in fact, a contrast. We do not have to beg God for things that He not only desires to give, but has already given. In the Old Testament, great men like Moses and Abraham had to serve as mediators between God and man; however, today we have Christ as our mediator. He is always advocating on our behalf, but it is our job to position ourselves to receive whatever it is that we are asking for.

- Jun 24, 2020Getting Real Part 1: True and False Worship
Jun 24, 2020Getting Real Part 1: True and False WorshipPosted by Ashley EllisonMelanie Bertoglio teaches from Isaiah 58 to remind us that the condition of our vertical relationship with God does not rest on what we do for Him, i.e. going to church, reading the Bible, fasting, praying, sacrificing, singing in the choir, etc. While all of these things are important, a loving, intimate relationship with God will manifest itself in our horizontal relationships with others. If our relationships and our communications with people do not reflect the heart of God toward them, then our vertical relationship with God is not what it needs to be. In today's culture, the world needs to see Christians being nice.

Jun 21, 2020A Relationship with God Part 4Posted by Ashley EllisonPrayer is communion with God, and not an attempt to inform a misinformed God. Using the Lord's Prayer as our outline for how to commune with God, Pastor Ashley encourages that if we start and end with praise, all of our circumstances that we are praying about become very small. When we think of our prayer time as communing with God, worshiping and loving Him as our primary goal, we can truly develop a deep and meaningful relationship with Him.

Jun 7, 2020A Relationship with God Part 2Posted by Ashley Ellison"A Relationship with God Part 2" by Ashley Ellison. Pastor Ashley shares the words of the prophet Zephaniah as he emphasizes the goodness of God as motivation for our desire to have relationship with Him.
