When Heaven Came Down and Glory Filled My Soul

Keith Ellis — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:31:14 GMT

God has shown His presence on the Earth in many ways since the beginning of time. Man has never seen God face-to-face, but we have always been able to experience His glory that He provides us, beginning with His Son!

A Father's Heart

In your relationship with God, do you allow God to be your strength? The adversary is exploiting every opportunity to take your soul, but through God's strength, you are able to overcome. God does care for you!

A special message for our graduates and their continuing relationship with our Lord is a message for all of us and the plans He has for our lives. Do you know God's will for each of us? You can find it in His message...His holy scriptures.

A Love That Gives

Keith Ellis — Sun, 25 May 2008 16:24:47 GMT

At a time when we memorialize our war veterans that gave their all in defense of our freedoms, we must also remember the blood that was shed on our behalf to free us from the bondage of sin. We need to share the love that provides salvation for all those called.

Have You Ever Heard?

Keith Ellis — Sun, 18 May 2008 17:02:06 GMT

Some of the most educated men on earth at the time, marveled at the words of Jesus, and it was especially intriguing because these men knew Jesus had not been educated as they were, but He knew more about what they had known. What was special about what Jesus had to say, and that He still speaks today?

A Magnificent Mother

Keith Ellis — Sun, 11 May 2008 16:36:41 GMT

A special prayer of honor, blessings, and thanks goes out today for our Mothers. May we always remember the place they hold in our lives and the God-like qualities that are manifest through their lives into ours.

How to Fight Giants

Keith Ellis — Sun, 04 May 2008 16:54:59 GMT

In this life, we face 'giants' everyday. We can encounter trouble that seems insurmountable with no relief in sight. Do you focus on the 'GIANT?' Or do you turn and focus on God? The battle is the Lord's, and He can't be defeated!

Keith Ellis — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 17:06:37 GMT

Today, we celebrate 100 years of the Lord's church at this location. Among our distinguished guests and returning members, we are blessed to have Hoyt Nelson, former preacher here, proclaim the Good News and express the glory of our Lord's church of nearly 2000 years.

I'd Rather Have Jesus

Keith Ellis — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 16:24:11 GMT

In the end, it comes down to what you value most. There certainly are things of this world that we can value enough to obtain. But in your search of value that can last an eternity, wouldn't you rather have Jesus?

'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

Keith Ellis — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:32:36 GMT

Is it in your nature to trust someone or something? Are you aware that trust is put in something or someone everyday, whether you realize it or not? God provides the strength we need to lay our hopes and needs on Him. Do you trust Him to provide that strength?

Dead To Sin

Keith Ellis — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 17:12:45 GMT

The apostle Paul contrasts the Christian's position to death and life. The Christian must be dead to sin in order to live for Christ. Without this, you are enslaved to sin and you are without life.

Get In Shape

Keith Ellis — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:33:21 GMT

The struggle to compete is alive and well in Christianity. We have a goal, a prize, a set of rules, and a competitor. But along the way, we need to train, disciplining ourselves to run, and put aside the hindrances that our competitor, Satan, puts in our way. Are you fighting the good fight?

A Stone Rolled Away

Keith Ellis — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 16:45:43 GMT

Much of the world is called to remember the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on this day. The Christian is told, in part, to commemorate this time in Christ's earthly life every first day of the week. But it is, most importantly, that resurrection of Jesus Christ that gives our faith purpose. It is the empty tomb that allows us to be buried with Him in baptism, to rise and walk in newness of life.

How Do We Treat One Another?

Keith Ellis — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 16:39:32 GMT

The central theme throughout the Bible is the priority of love in our lives. It is vital to have God's love in our life. Without that love, God cannot exist in our life. It is that theme that guides our treatment of others.

Spiritual Growth

Keith Ellis — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:39:55 GMT

Both apostles, Peter and Paul, brought home the message of spiritual growth. "Faith" only is not enough. A faith that does not grow spiritually is not a faith at all. Let's look at the characteristics of a faith that grows spiritually.

How Important Are You?

Keith Ellis — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 17:47:36 GMT

The scriptures detail a long history of man's struggle against the temptations of evil. Satan has seemingly won a battle or two along the way, but the final victory belongs to God. Christ gave us the way to defeat Satan. How is your battle going?

He Chose Us

Keith Ellis — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 17:34:48 GMT

What an honor it is to be wanted and chosen at a special time for a special reason. But what a blessing it is for our Father in Heaven to want all of us to be heirs of His, all of us, chosen before the foundations of the Earth were laid. It's not just an honor, it's an eternity with Him.

We Need Each Other

Keith Ellis — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 17:38:20 GMT

As Christians, we need to be "One Another People." The scriptures are replete with teaching that our relationships with one another are bound with Christian principle, together, and that relationship is a source of teaching and edification for one another.
