Have You Been Saved?
by Curt Dodd on October 29th, 2025
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13) Has there ever been a time in your life when you have turned from your sin and placed your faith in Jesus Christ? You might say, “I joined the church, was confirmed and was baptized at 12.” I didn't ask that. Has there been a moment in your life when you have acknowledged your sin and realized that you deserved to go... Read More

So Close, Yet So Far
by Curt Dodd on October 28th, 2025
"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9) Can I share something personal with you? When I was twelve, I thought I had it all figured out. I'd been baptized, I could pray beautifully, I had memorized Scripture verses, and I was actively involved in church. I even won an award for "packing the pews... Read More

Why Don’t We Worship?
by Curt Dodd on June 15th, 2025
“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.” – Psalm 22:3 (KJV)Worship is very, very important! Everyone knows something about worship.

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

The Power of the Cross
by Curt Dodd on April 3rd, 2023
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 1:17-18)When you take seriously the work that Jesus did on the cross, it will make a difference in your life. A... Read More
