Don’t Miss Out
by Curt Dodd on April 4th, 2025
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. (John 1:10-13) When Jesu... Read More

Be Ready for the End
by Curt Dodd on March 11th, 2025
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9) Whether we admit it or not, the end times are not very far away. Jesus is coming back soon and we need to be prepared. We might not be here when the events of the end times arrive. This is the pathway that will unfold during the Great Tribu... Read More

Have You Met Christ?
by Curt Dodd on August 7th, 2024
But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. (Revelation 21:27) Let me tell you the story of Benson Cameron. Benson was an 80-year-old deacon in my first pastorate. He was half blind (actually, three quarters blind). He had glasses, big, black horn-rimmed glasses. Everyone knew that when Benson ... Read More

What Can The Cross Do For You?
by Curt Dodd on June 10th, 2024
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. – 1 Corinthians 1:17-18Yesterday, we began a conversation discussing the power of the cross of Jesus Christ. The first thing we t... Read More

It’s Only Jesus
by Curt Dodd on May 10th, 2024
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. – John 14:6 Many people think that the way you get to heaven is just to go to church, be a good person, and love your brother as yourself. All of that is important, but you don't have the power to do that consistently without having a relationship with Jesus. Do you know why? Sin! We were bor... Read More

A Childlike Faith
by Curt Dodd on February 2nd, 2024
He called a little child to him and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:2-4) In Matthew’s account of Jesus’ life and ministry, he tells this simple yet impactful story...

Praying for Unbelievers
by Curt Dodd on January 17th, 2024
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) Let me ask you some questions. Are you concerned about some of your family members who do not know Christ? Are you burdened about your children? Students, are you concerned about the spiritual condition of the people... Read More

Giving and Serving
by Curt Dodd on January 16th, 2023
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. (2 Corinthians 5:14)I love the story of Hudson Taylor when he was interviewing possible candidates for missionary work. During the interview process, he asked each of these young people, “Why do you want to become a missionary?”One of them answered, “I just want to be a missionary because there a... Read More
