How To Read The Bible

The Bible is God’s revelation to humanity. It is God's inspired Word. It is our only source for completely reliable information about God, but much of it can be confusing upon first inspection. There is the Old Testament, New Testament, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. How do you decipher the different translations, footnotes and cross references? Where do you begin? How can you even start to read the Bible?

Financial Support

The stewardship of our finances is a tremendous—and often overlooked—area of our lives where we can faithfully proclaim the gospel. Giving strengthens our devotion to Christ and frees us to live open-handedly with the gifts God gives us. We trust in Him and His provision instead of our perceived self-sufficiency. As people of faith, we give faithfully and generously.

Give Your Money

Volunteer

Just as we can donate from our finances, we can also donate our time. In this way you can help serve people inside, and outside, the church body. We have many ways in which you can serve:

Ways To Give Your Time

  • Greeting people (new & old)
  • Preparing food
  • Lawn maintenance & care
  • Clean-up the interior of the buildings
  • Teaching Bible Lessons to kids
  • Watching babies, so the mother & father can attend the service
  • etc...

When Following Jesus Is Dangerous

When Following Jesus Is Dangerous

September 13, 2021
by Mario Villella

I was recently reminded that the mission that Jesus gave us is, at times, dangerous. When Jesus told His disciples to “go into all the world and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you,” he was telling them to do something that would, in some circumstances, cause them pain and suffering.

In this final installment, I’d like to still make the case for why a more literal reading of Genesis 1 might make good sense. So, reason number two for not rejecting Jesus because of Genesis 1 is: There are good reasons to believe that Genesis 1 is true (in a literal sense.)

People call her “The Butterfly Lady.” Nancy Hoiaas loves to give people hand-crocheted and 3-D plastic butterflies, along with a written message about how much God loves them. “The butterfly is likened to a rebirth in Christ,” says Nancy. “It’s a gift of God’s love.”

Christianity and Science: Part 2

August 5, 2021

The vast majority of people in this country (and many other countries) are taught in science classes (usually in public schools) that the world is incredibly old, and that it got into its current condition by a very slow evolution. Once this is believed, it is very difficult to believe the account of the beginning of the world as found in the first chapter of the Bible.

Christianity and Science: Part 1

One common objection to Christian belief is the idea that “science has disproved Christianity.” And while there could be several reasons why people believe that science somehow contradicts Christianity, it seems to me that it mostly boils down to two things: The existence (or non-existence) of miracles, and the account of creation from Genesis. In this first installment (of three), we will talk about the issue of Christianity and miracles...
