Doing Before Knowing God
by Curt Dodd on November 7th, 2024
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” (Matthew 7: 21-23) This... Read More

You Must Repent
by Curt Dodd on October 9th, 2024
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,” (Acts 3:19) We can learn to trust someone again by offering them forgiveness.

If this is true for you, please... Read More

Living in Denial
by Curt Dodd on August 15th, 2024
After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.” Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately a rooster crowed. (Matthew 26:73-74) Judas betrayed Jesus once, but Simon Peter denied Jesus three times publicly! That statement is not meant to minimize the horrific thing Juda... Read More

by Curt Dodd on May 20th, 2024
For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. – Matthew 6:14-15I read something on social media the other day that really stuck with me. It said, “The most powerful person in your life is the one who you refuse to forgive.”Do you know why this is true? Beca... Read More

God Can Defend Himself
by Curt Dodd on November 22nd, 2023
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) When we don't understand what God is doing, we try to explain why God would allow something to happen. Many of us think we have to answer all of the “nay-sayers.” We hear people say, “If God is a God of love, w... Read More

Looking for a Church
by Curt Dodd on May 5th, 2023
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25) If you are in the process of looking for a church home, there are several things you should consider. We will spend two days covering the qualities of a True Church. Fi...

Have You Been Saved?
by Curt Dodd on October 29th, 2022
“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 to h... Read More
