Devotional: November 18-24 by Jeff Barhite, Elder

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

The Lord is faithful to reveal his word. Some words he reveals in a moment, some over a few days, and some over a longer season of time. Here’s a gold nugget I received Sunday that’s been life giving for me this week. In our study of Galatians this past Sunday ... Continue Reading

Devotional:November 4-10, by Bob Poole, Elder

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Devotional: September 30 – October 7, by Robert Whitlow, Elder

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

“In those days they will fast.” Luke 5:35 Mark Twain reportedly said, “It’s not what I don’t understand in the Bible that troubles me; it’s what I do.” Fasting is like that.
