5/21/2023 | The Family That Wouldn’t Drink the Wine Core Truth: As with Israel and Judah of old, God still puts a very high premium on the attention and obedience we give to His eternal Word – both as found in the sacred pages of the Bible and in His personal words of instruction or correction given to us by the voice of the Holy Spirit. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
5/7/2023 | On Hearing the Word of the Lord Core Truth: The worst thing that can ever happen to an individual… a church… or a nation… is when God stops speaking! |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
4/23/2023 | Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omnibenevolent King Jesus You are: |
Minister Davon Gray | ||
4/16/2023 | He is Worthy Trust in the Lord. See His character, His kindness, His goodness, His faithfulness and His unfailing love. Sing His praises. |
Rev. Tim Pewett | ||
3/19/2023 | What to Do When Trouble Comes, The Ultimate Usefulness of Adversity Core Truth: “Present suffering is not enjoyable, but life would be worth little without it. The difference between iron and steel is fire, but steel is worth all it costs. Iron ore may think itself senselessly tortured in the furnace, but when the watch-spring looks back, it knows better. David enjoyed pain and trouble no more than we do, but the time came when he admitted that they had been good for him. Though the aspect of suffering is hard, the prospect is hopeful, and the retrospect will start a song, if we are ‘the called according to His purpose,’ in suffering.” (M.D. Babcock) |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
1/22/2023 | Before I Formed You in the Womb Core Truth: A compromised church quickly becomes a voiceless church whose presence and witness in the culture is largely ignored and effectively neutralized, whereas, an engaged church empowered by courage and commitment to the Truth, has been known to even alter the course of human history. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
12/24/2022 | The Government Shall be Upon His Shoulder Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from the [latter] time forth, even forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
12/11/2022 | What’s In a Name? Core Truth: In last Sunday’s sermon we talked about What Shall We Name the Baby? as we emphasized the fact that names really do mean something. Today, we will consider just a few of the over 200 names or titles given to Christ in Scripture and how those names have relevance for us as Christians. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
11/27/2022 | The Hope of a Coming King The Hope of a Coming King |
Rev. Tim Pewett | ||
10/16/2022 | Part 4 – The Ultimate Destiny and Glory of the Nation of Israel (Continued) Core Truth: A common understanding of these prophetic words is that just when Israel has finally been able to negotiate a peace with her neighbors – a peace that many scholars believe will be brokered between the Antichrist and his forces – this “Man of Sin” (2 Thess. 2:3) and his armies will invade Israel in an attempt to establish his own seat of world government in Jerusalem, even proclaiming that he himself is God (2 Thess. 2:4), which will trigger Christ’s Second Coming with His Church and the armies of heaven to destroy him “with the breath of His mouth, and with the brightness of His coming.” (2 Thess. 2:8). |
The Return of Christ and the Future of Israel | Pastor Don Kroah | |
10/9/2022 | Part 3 – The Ultimate Destiny and Glory of the Nation of Israel Core Truth: God’s plans and purposes for mankind – made before the foundation of the world – are well underway and are not meant to be secretive or cryptic. However, to understand those plans and how we as His church fit into them, we need to understand the unique role He has given to the nation of Israel, an understanding that, unfortunately, many Christians today don’t have. |
The Return of Christ and the Future of Israel | Pastor Don Kroah | |
10/2/2022 | Part 2 - God’s Answer to the World’s Arrogance & Rebellion Core Truth: Our Scripture today is “a celebration of the unquestionable supremacy of God and His Messiah over all the rebellious forces of humanity, making the dramatic point that to attempt rebellion against God is absurd, because God has already decided the matter and has invested His power and authority into a human king, His Messiah. There is no question as to who would win in a confrontation between God and His Messiah on the one hand and rebellious humanity on the other: God wins. It cannot be any other way. Moreover, God wins through His Messiah. As far as humanity is concerned, there ends up being no substantial distinction between God and His Messiah. You serve God by serving His Messiah. If you rebel against the Messiah, you rebel against God Himself. To trust in the Messiah is to trust in God. (BiteSizeExegisis.com) |
The Return of Christ and the Future of Israel | Pastor Don Kroah | |
9/11/2022 | Walking With a Limp, Jacob’s Life-Changing Encounter With God Core Truth:While we are often prone to blame the weaknesses of our flesh as the reason for our failure to live better lives as Christians, the truth of the matter is really not that we are too weak, but that we are too strong…too strong in self-will and self-sufficiency as we struggle to live the Christian life our way and in our own strength, instead of learning to allow the all-sufficient Christ to simply live His own victorious life in and through us – something He is patiently longing to do. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
9/4/2022 | Don’t Hang Up Your Harp! Living With Grace in an Ungracious World Core Truth: If what we say about our faith is true – that like Abraham of old, we really do “look for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God,” then why should we stop singing the songs of Zion, hang up our harps in despair, and wistfully long for the more peaceful and predictable days now gone by? It is certainly not what Paul and Silas did while languishing in the inner dungeon of a Philippian jail! |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
7/10/2022 | Dwelling in the Secret Place: Insulation versus Isolation Core Truth: We live in a greatly troubled and increasingly dangerous world. However, for Christians – true followers of Christ – those are the very conditions in which He has called us to win the lost, to love one another devotedly, and to spread the good news of the Gospel in every way we can as we prepare ourselves for His imminent return. Such an assignment demands that we learn the secret of “dwelling in the secret place.” |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
6/26/2022 | When Christ Returns: A Word of Hope for a Hopeless World Core Truth: As conditions in our nation and world become ever darker and more dangerous it is time to remind ourselves that God is fully aware of what is happening…that His mercy endures forever…but that His patience has limits…and that He has already prepared the ultimate answer in the Person of His son, who when He returns will “make all things new.” (Rev. 21:5) |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
6/19/2022 | A Father’s Legacy, Fatherhood – A Sacred Trust Core Truth: Every father leaves a legacy of some sort to his family and since fatherhood is one of the most powerful forces in our children’s lives, it is a sacred trust - a trust that our heavenly Father stands ready to help us fulfill despite our own inadequacies, failures and limitations. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
6/12/2022 | A Theology of Waiting! The Importance of Waiting Upon God (Part 2) Core Truth:“A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us, embracing us, altogether within reach of our inner selves, waiting for us to recognize it. God Himself is here awaiting our response to His presence. This eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality.” A.W. Tozer |
A Theology of Waiting! | Pastor Don Kroah | |
6/5/2022 | A Theology of Waiting! The Importance of Waiting for God (Part 1) Core Truth: “Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under command; second, readiness for any new command that may come; third, the ability to do nothing until the command is given.” G. Campbell Morgan |
A Theology of Waiting! | Pastor Don Kroah | |
5/29/2022 | Why Does Life Have to Be So Hard? Finding God’s purposes in our troubles, trials, and tribulations Core Truth: While no rational person likes or welcomes suffering and difficulty; Scripture is quite clear as to what has caused it…when it will ultimately end…and how in the meantime if we are willing, it can transform the lives of those who put their trust in God. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
5/22/2022 | Can We Run with the Horses? Core Truth: While it is natural for us as people of God to question why God allows evil men to prosper and never seems to judge them or call them to account, the reality is that as ‘scattered exiles’ we are being called to live for Him across the grain of a world headed for judgment on a monumental scale and He wants us to know that in the end, ALL WILL BE WELL for those who put their trust in Hm. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
5/15/2022 | No More Delays! Core Truth: As with the nations of Israel and Judah of old, the danger remains today that the people of God – the very people who should know better – may have become so compromised by the ‘spirit of the age’ – the values and judgements of the culture – that we, too, are in great danger of failing to realize how very near God’s final judgment of the world and the return of Christ may actually be. In light of these imminent realities, what time is it? |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
3/20/2022 | ...Where Are You? Where are you spiritually? You are precious to God. Come out of hiding and let God cover you with His grace. |
Pastor Dennis Williams | ||
1/23/2022 | Fearfully and Wonderfully Made Core Truth: Perhaps the most sacred and inviolate place in all the world to our Creator is the sanctity of a mother’s womb, and nowhere has fallen man manifested a more arrogant rebellion against his Maker than in the relentless destruction of our unborn children – a rebellion for which we shall surely one day give account! |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
1/16/2022 | A Better Covenant: Unleashing God’s Power to Live a Godly Life Core Truth: If I try to live the Christian life under the old covenant, I am guaranteeing my continued failure. However, if I choose to live under the new covenant, Christ will be able to live His life through me, resulting in every-increasing victory over sin and fruitfulness in this life that will remain forever. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
1/2/2022 | Watchman - What of the Night? Core Truth: At various points throughout human history God has provided early warning signs of impending doom and judgment mixed with promises of hope and redemption – signs and promises that are meant to warn the wicked, encourage the righteous, and inspire the believer to keep on keeping on. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
12/26/2021 | Christmas Takeaways Core Truth: A “takeaway” from a meeting or an event is the key fact or idea that is to be remembered for future reference or action. Since through our Lord’s grace and mercy we have just been given the gift of another Christmas, what are the “takeaways” that we should carry into the New Year? |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
10/31/2021 | Celebrating God’s Unchanging Word Core Truth: “It is fashionable in some academic circles to exercise scholarly criticism of the Bible. In so doing, scholars place themselves above the Bible and seek to correct it. If indeed the Bible is the Word of God, nothing could be more arrogant. It is God who corrects us; we don’t correct Him. We do not stand over God but under Him.” (R.C. Sproul, Five Things Every Christian Needs to Grow) |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
8/15/2021 | The Rest that Refreshes Core Truth: Our ability to rest in the refreshing offered us by the Lord will always be in direct proportion to our willingness to trust Him and to obey whatever He commands. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
6/27/2021 | A Call to Praise & Worship Core Truth: “Praise is the rehearsal of our eternal song. By grace we learn to sing, and in glory we continue to sing. What will some of you do when you get to heaven, if you go on grumbling all the way? Do not hope to get to heaven in that style. But now begin to bless the name of the Lord.” (Spurgeon) |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
3/7/2021 | The Benefits of Trusting God The fear of the Lord delivers us from extremism (Ecclesiastes 7:15-18). The wisdom of God strengthens us to face our sinfulness (Ecclesiastes 7:19-22). The faith which God supplies, provides insight about our self, others, and God (Ecclesiastes 7:23-29). Look to Jesus Christ who enables us to trust God and benefits us when we do (1 Corinthians 1:30). |
Pastor Steve King | ||
2/14/2021 | A Drink at Joel’s Place (How Thirsty Are You These Days?) Core Truth: Since it is quite true that as the Apostle Paul once wrote (Rom. 10:12) that “the same Lord over all is rich unto all who call upon Him,” it also means that it is we who set the limits of how much or how little of Him we really want involved in our lives, and that each ultimately chooses for one’s self how we will finally slake our thirsts. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
1/31/2021 | Called to Action! Core Truth: Because God has so much more planned for us than we could ever imagine, He wants to protect us from the danger of becoming too comfortable with the things of this present life and thereby losing sight of the glorious future which He already has prepared for us, and that requires that we “prepare our minds for action and to set our hope fully” on Christ’s return. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
1/24/2021 | It Shall Come To Pass… Core Truth: Against the backdrop of impending divine judgment for its persistent sins and arrogant rebellion against its Maker, the promise to Judah and Jerusalem of its restoration, healing and exaltation above all the nations of the world is a divine word that was intended not only to give ultimate hope to the righteous ones of Isaiah’s day, but also to all of God’s people who even now are called to live righteously for Him in this present evil world. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
1/17/2021 | God of the Darkness; God of the Light Core Truth: “And this is the condemnation (judgment), that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But anybody who is living by the truth will come to the Light to make it plain that all he has done has been done through God.” (John 3:18-20) |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
12/27/2020 | For Such A Time As This Core Truth:The greatest gift we could give to ourselves, families and our world is to seek to know and do the will of God with all of our hearts, souls, minds, and strength and thus fulfill His purposes for us "for such a time as this." |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
12/24/2020 | Why Bethlehem? Core Truth:Throughout history it seems that whenever our God is going to do a great thing, He has a delightful penchant for starting small! It is a principle He seems to love to follow - whether among the nations of the earth, in the growth of His church, or in the affairs of our own individual lives! |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
12/20/2020 | Hope in the Darkest Hour, Part 3 - A Child Is Born, a Son Is Given Core Truth: While current events can tempt the righteous to despair of ever seeing an end to the terrible injustice, corruption and evil being perpetrated against the innocent and helpless, today’s scripture is God’s own assurance that the time will come – perhaps very soon – when “...the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea, and the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever!” (Hab.2:14; Rev.11:15) |
Hope in the Darkest Hour | Pastor Don Kroah | |
12/13/2020 | Hope in the Darkest Hour, Part 2 - Joy & Rejoicing Lie Ahead Core Truth: C.S. Lewis rightly said that “Joy is the serious business of heaven.” However, our Lord made it clear we don’t have to wait until we get there to enjoy it; we can have it even in life's darkest hour. “I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing.” (John 15:11) |
Hope in the Darkest Hour | Pastor Don Kroah | |
12/6/2020 | Hope in the Darkest Hour Core Truth: As with Israel of old, which was being punished for its continual rejection of Jehovah and its pursuit of other gods, so our modern world and especially our own nation are experiencing God’s hand of judgment with perhaps even worse days to come. However, such judgment is always intended to be remedial rather than punitive, and especially at the coming of another Advent Season God reminds us that hope will ultimately conquer despair and that Great Light is about to come to “those who live in a land of deep darkness! |
Hope in the Darkest Hour | Pastor Don Kroah | |
11/15/2020 | The God Who Always Is! Core Truth: When life’s challenges come to us - as they do at some point to every Christian - the tendency is to view our circumstances through the prism of our own desires, expectations, or preconceptions – all of which can tempt us to, as C.S. Lewis once wrote, “put God in the dock” - causing even the most devout believer to question God’s fairness, His faithfulness and yes - even His love. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
11/10/2020 | Praising God No Matter What! Core Truth: Life has a way of presenting us with situations which greatly challenge our faith and tempt us to resort to remedies of our own making, which seldom work. Such was the case in the life of David. But through it all he became a much wiser man and went on to become Israel’s greatest king, while giving the world a rich storehouse of truths in the Scriptures that feed and nourish our souls even in these difficult days. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
9/6/2020 | Perfect Peace In Troubled Times Core Truth: Contrary to all rational thinking, it is possible to pass through some of life’s most frightening storms but still experience genuine and lasting peace. The keys are the right Source, a Fixed Mind, and a Believing Heart. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
8/9/2020 | Trusting A Perfect God in an Imperfect World Core Truth: As we live our lives in an imperfect and troubled world, God’s eternal call to His people – His chosen ones – is to put our trust and confidence in Him and Him alone – the God Who does all things well! |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
8/2/2020 | Living effectively with the “New Normal” Core Truth: Where we choose to live our lives will determine the level of peace, tranquility, and effectiveness for Christ as we adjust to the ever-changing world that is sure to come. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
7/19/2020 | Don’t Wrestle, Just Nestle Core Truth: Life has a way of constantly reminding us that none of us is able to control the situations or events that come our way; however, Scripture is quite insistent that we “leave it to the Eternal” and that we learn to rest in His unfailing faithfulness! |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
7/12/2020 | Passing Through the Valley of Baka Core Truth: The Hebrew word baca is related to bakah, which means “to weep.” Sooner or later every Christian will find himself passing through this valley, filling it with his tears. But for those who “make it a place of springs,” the end result will be well worth the pain, as he learns to “go from strength to strength” until he “appears before God in Zion. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
6/28/2020 | Maximizing Our Kingdom Usefulness For Such a Time as This Core Truth: As with Esther of old, God has providentially placed us as His people at this precise moment in history so that we may be part of the solution to the problems facing our world at this time. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
6/21/2020 | Fathers: God’s Agents of Healing in a Broken World Core Truth: Throughout history, God has intended fathers to be His primary means of shaping their families and cultures, and history is filled with examples of those who have done it well and some who haven’t. At some point every father must decide whether, like Joshua, he will also make the irrevocable decision that he and his house will also serve the Lord, regardless of the counter-culture in which he and those he loves have been called to live. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
6/7/2020 | It’s Time to Pray Core Truth: Throughout history, God has put Himself on record that whenever His people take Him seriously enough to humble themselves, turn away from their sins, and seek His face, He will always hear their prayers and respond with great and gracious blessings. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
5/24/2020 | Walking Safely Upon the High Places of Life Core Truth: God’s position over all things gives him clear perspective about all things and He wants to share His position and perspective with us, so that we too can learn to see things as they really are and live our lives accordingly. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
5/17/2020 | This Too Shall Pass… But What if It Didn’t? Core Truth: God never promised to keep His children from trouble; However, He did promise to be with them in the midst of it and to bring them safely through to the other side, while actually using their adversities to grow their faith and show them His loving kindnesses in new and unexpected ways. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
5/3/2020 | The Voice of the Lord in the Storm Core Truth: Of all the questions being asked about the current COVID-19 pandemic, the most rational question to be asked is: where is God in all of this and what is God saying in this current situation? |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
4/5/2020 | The Gift of Christian Community Core Truth – The Christian martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote: “It is by the grace of God that a congregation is permitted to gather visibly in this world to share God’s Word and sacrament. Not all Christians receive this blessing. “ Perhaps nothing is more keenly missed than those things to which we have become so accustomed that we scarcely give them thought until for some reason they are taken away. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
3/8/2020 | Psalm 91 – God’s Answer to the Coronavirus Core Truth: Trusting God is not a magical panacea that excuses believers from all of life’s dangers. However, it does guarantee that nothing shall be allowed to happen that has not first been carefully evaluated by the One Who holds each one of us in the palm of His hand. Isaiah 41:10, 49:16 |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
3/1/2020 | The God Who Speaks, Part 3 – The Great Rewards of Obeying His Voice Core Truth: Just as there are sad and destructive consequences for refusing to obey God’s Word, so also there are incredible rewards for those who choose to obey it. |
The God Who Speaks ... | Pastor Don Kroah | |
2/23/2020 | The God Who Speaks, Part 2 – The Great Rewards of Obeying His Voice Core Truth: Throughout the Bible, God's promise to us is that our obedience to Him will always bring his loving-kindness and great rewards but that refusing to do so will always result in many sorrows and difficulties. As someone has said, “If you want to increase God's favor in your life, start obeying Him in every area of your life.” |
The God Who Speaks ... | Pastor Don Kroah | |
2/9/2020 | A Budding Almond Tree Core Truth: As important as it is to us that our God is a God who keeps His word, it is infinitely more important to Him, for as Scripture says “I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your Name. (Psalms 138:2) |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
2/2/2020 | Seven Things God Has Promised for the New Year, Part 5: God Promises His Ultimate Glory Core Truth: While God has promised us His absolute sovereignty, His sure and certain guidance, His unfailing strength, His ever-present help, His all-sustaining presence and protection, and His abiding peace, at the end of it all He has also promised that He will be glorified in all that concerns us as His children, both now and in the ages to come! |
Seven Things God Has Promised in the New Year | Pastor Don Kroah | |
1/26/2020 | Seven Things God Has Promised for the New Year, Part 4: God Promises His Abiding Peace Core Truth: In a world increasingly marked by trouble and chaos, the child of God can choose to live in the peace that Christ has given and trust that God really is causing all things to work together for our good and for His glory. |
Seven Things God Has Promised in the New Year | Pastor Don Kroah | |
1/19/2020 | God Promises His All-Sustaining Presence & Abiding Peace Core Truth: The presence and the peace of God always go hand in hand and to the extent that we can learn to abide in His presence, to that extent we will also experience His abiding peace. |
Seven Things God Has Promised in the New Year | Pastor Don Kroah | |
1/12/2020 | Seven Things God Has Promised in the New Year, Part 2 Core truth: Weariness is a part of life - weariness of body, mind, soul and spirit - and it happens to even the strongest among us. However, God promises that He will be our strength and that he will never leave or forsake us, no matter what challenges life may bring our way. |
Seven Things God Has Promised in the New Year | Pastor Don Kroah | |
1/5/2020 | Seven Things God Has Promised in the New Year Core Truth: As we venture into another year in a world filled with great apprehensions and uncertainties, it is wise to remember some promises that God has spoken to us and to His people throughout the ages, realizing that to this very moment there has not failed one word of His good promise which He promised unto Israel. (Joshua 21:43) |
Seven Things God Has Promised in the New Year | Pastor Don Kroah | |
12/15/2019 | What’s In a Name? Core Truth: Names are supposed to mean something and nowhere is this truer than in the names given to our Lord! |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
12/8/2019 | What Really Happened that First Christmas? Core Truth: While each year at this time we rightly celebrate the wonderful things that happened that first Christmas, the greatest things were not angels singing, nor shepherds worshiping, nor stars appearing, nor wise men traveling from afar. Rather, it is what God the Father did in sending His Son to earth that changed man’s hopes and aspirations forever. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
12/1/2019 | The Benefits of Having a Thankful Heart Core Truth: A thankful heart must be cultivated; it is not something most people come by naturally. Our natural tendency is to ignore or completely miss the good things God has given us, while focusing on the things we don’t have but think we should. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
2/10/2019 | Christ in Us, with Us, for Us, and Through Us, Part 2 Core Truth: Christ living within us is God's guarantee that He will never leave us - not even for a single moment - until He has brought us safely home. |
Christ in Us, with Us, for Us, and Through Us | Pastor Don Kroah | |
1/20/2019 | Looking Back … and Looking Ahead, Part II Core Truth: Both as a church and as individuals, there is a very real sense in which our willingness to stay close to God and to allow His Presence to lead us will determine what we will experience in 2019. |
Looking Back ... and Looking Ahead | Pastor Don Kroah | |
1/6/2019 | Looking Back … and Looking Ahead Core Truth: Whatever the past year may have given us, whether blessings or sorrows or a combination of both, the lessons offered in them can be great help in entering the new year if we are willing to believe that “… all things DO work together for good for those who love God and who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 |
Looking Back ... and Looking Ahead | Pastor Don Kroah | |
12/23/2018 | Why Bethlehem and a Manger? Core Truth: God not only usually uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things, He also chooses some of the most unlikely places to accomplish His will. As Dr. Francis Schaeffer has written: “With God there are no little people, and as there are no little people in God’s sight, so there are not little places.” |
Four Whys Regarding Christmas | Pastor Don Kroah | |
12/2/2018 | Why Celebrate Christmas? Core Truth: While some Christians (even some pastors) argue that we should not celebrate Christmas, I am not among them! Instead, in light of today’s materialistic, secularized and self-centered culture the need to celebrate the impact and meaning of our Lord’s birth is greater than ever. |
Four Whys Regarding Christmas | Pastor Don Kroah | |
10/28/2018 | Dumb Idols or the God Who Speaks - Which Will It Be? Core Truth: When Jehovah said "You shall have no other gods before (in place of) Me", He wasn't just talking to the people of ancient Israel; He wasn't just talking to the people of ancient Israel; He was talking to us as 21st Century Christians as well. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
9/23/2018 | And Gideon Made an Ephod ... So What? Core Truth: If we could ever fully comprehend the benefits of a life completely sold out to Jesus Christ we would wonder why in the world we waited so long to do it, and we would not waste another moment giving everything we have, are, or ever hope to be to Him to do with as He pleases. |
And Gideon Made an Ephod | Pastor Don Kroah | |
9/16/2018 | And Gideon Made an Ephod Core Truth: God calls us to worship Him and Him alone – not because He needs it, but because He knows that it is the key to our own safety, peace , and fulfillment. |
And Gideon Made an Ephod | Pastor Don Kroah | |
9/9/2018 | Service in the Kingdom! | Rev. Isah Abraham | ||
9/2/2018 | God’s Hunger Games! Core Truth: “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). Our Creator made us with certain appetites or “hungers” that can only be satisfied by a wholehearted and irrevocable decision to pursue Him and Him alone, no matter what the cost. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||
5/27/2018 | The Importance of Remembering Core Truth: Those who forget the past are very apt to fall into thanklessness. If we forget the value of our heritage and the source of our blessings, it will become very easy for us to take for granted all that we have and all that we are, and begin believing that we can make our own way without God. We will also then find it easier to forget the great sacrifices of those who have given their all on our behalf. |
Pastor Don Kroah | ||

8/13/2017 | When God Stops Speaking … and Begins to Act Core Truth: “There’s a time when God says ‘Enough!’ Enough to a nation; enough to a church; enough to an individual.

There comes a time when God draws a line, when God says, ‘That’s it!’ “ |

7/9/2017 | Giants in the Land!

Or do I choose to focus on the God Who has promised to never leave nor forsake me, no matter how big my giant seems or how loud its roar? |
Giants in the Land! (And What to do About Them) | Pastor Don Kroah | |
7/2/2017 | Giants in the Land! (And What to do About Them) Core Truth: “Unbelief never lets us get beyond the difficulties – the impregnable cities and the impossible giants. It preoccupies itself with them, brooding over them, pitting them against mere human resources. Faith, on the other hand, though it never minimizes the dangers and difficulties of any circumstance, looks away from them to God and counts on His invisible presence and power.” David H. Roper in Our Daily Bread. |

However, God is not bound by our schedules nor impressed with our demands and the price of failing to wait for Him can be very high. |

6/12/2016 | Principles of Christian Giving Though tithing in and of itself is not a 'cure-all' for the financial difficulties in which we may find ourselves from time to time, and while not all Christian teachers or leaders even agree that it is required of Christians today, if done in faith it can be a very important 'first step' in a Christian's journey of obedience to God, the advancing of His kingdom on the earth, and experiencing of God's blessings in one's own life. |
Giving that Pleases God & Blesses the Giver | Pastor Don Kroah | |
5/29/2016 | The Last Full Measure ... Core Truth: Our Lord Himself said: "Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13). In a day when true patriotism has become suspect in too many people's minds, love of one's country and its cherished freedoms remains a potent force in the hearts of those who from our nation's earliest days have been willing to give their own 'last full measure' that we might be free. And it is their sacrifices and memories that we honor this day, and for which we thank Almighty God! |

3/13/2016 | The Advantages of Fellowship with God (A Study of Psalm 84, Part 2) Core Truth: Living in close fellowship with God provides strength for our journey here on earth, gives meaning to the dry places and times of suffering in our lives, and leads us to a brighter hope of that day when God Himself shall wipe away all tears from our eyes. |
