given by Pastor Vradenburgh In a recent message, “Ways in Which God Proves Us,” Pastor shared seven important questions we can ask ourselves. Prayerfully consider these scriptural guidelines as you make decisions. #1 Will it glorify God? Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1 […]
For many graduates, there is a sense of uneasiness lurking just behind the smiles and the laughter.
What comes next?
Am I going to make it?
How do I find meaning for my life?
These weightier questions begin to push to the front of their minds and hearts, replacing the much simpler ones that have dominated their high school years. Combine those questions with the blinding glare of the world’s reality they are entering, and paralysis can quickly set in.
When the Sadducees sought to put Jesus to the test, they asked Him whose wife a woman would be in heaven if she had been married to multiple men. They asked this because they thought that it logically disproved the resurrection─for they denied the resurrection. Jesus responded to them saying, “Ye do err, not knowing the […]
There are many people who claim to be Bible-believers in our day, but among these there are countless souls who have relied on human reason and have ended up espousing unscriptural errors. We can see a biblical example of this kind of error in Matthew 22:29 where the Sadducees used human reason to deny the […]

No man is an island, and no Christian who willfully neglects corporate prayer can thrive as God intends. God has made the people of His church mutually dependent─and this in such a way that unity among God’s people in corporate prayer opens the door to fresh spiritual blessing. This is God’s intention for His church, and we must unite to pursue it if we are to have spiritual success.
If Jesus is our teacher and example in prayer, certainly there are truths which we can glean by carefully observing His prayers with His disciples. As Pastor Vradenburgh opened up several texts in this light, our eyes were opened to many prayer-enriching truths!
One of the divine titles ascribed to Jesus is “Wonderful.” The Hebrew word translated to wonderful means miraculous. Men speak of many man-made wonders which may inspire some sense of awe, but what are these compared with the wonders of creation? Moreover, what are the wonders of creation compared with the wonders of the Creator!
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14). The name “Immanuel” means “God with us.” It is a divine name which first and foremost signifies the incarnation─ the term describing how God came in the flesh.
As we have been learning, studying Jesus’ purposes for coming into the world lead us to meditate on many wonderful truths about our salvation! We know that Jesus came to save us, but the glory of this salvation unfolds before us only as we continue searching the Scriptures. In Sunday’s sermon, we examined several marvelous […]
