We were able to see 233 in attendance this Sunday morning! Pastor Gardner preached a riveting message on how we as Christians should respond to conviction and how God will forgive any sin we commit. I encourage you, reader, if you haven’t heard it to have a listen online I’m confident it will be a […]

Numbers 28:18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein: God was constantly having His people set aside time to worship Him. He is God. He deserves our worship. We should set aside time to seek Him on a daily basis. We should have times […]
Sad Consequences – Daily Devotional – November 29th, 2015
Numbers 26:64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. 65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, […]
Our Unchanging God – Daily Devotional – November 28th, 2015
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? God had given His blessings and promises to Israel. Just because a king would pay […]
Look To Him – Daily Devotional – November 27th, 2015
Numbers 21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

God Buries His Workers But Never His Work – Daily Devotional – November 26th, 2015
Numbers 20:28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount. It is a good lesson not to lock on to any man. All die. All fail. None can meet your […]
All Who Receive Give – Daily Devotional – November 25th, 2015
Numbers 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

He Is God – Daily Devotional – November 24th, 2015
Numbers 15:41 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God. God brought them out of slavery in the land of Egypt. He did so to be their God. He said to them, I am the Lord, the King, […]
Meekness – Daily Devotional – November 23rd, 2015
Numbers 12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) Moses was a great leader. He knew how to command men. Yet, he was very meek. This word meek was used about Jesus also. As His followers we too are to be meek. What […]

Numbers 7:3 And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.

Such A Kind God – Daily Devotional – November 19th, 2015
Numbers 6:23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, 24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and […]
Limited Service – Daily Devotional – November 18th, 2015
Numbers 4:2 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. These men, Levites, were going to have only a 20 year window of service. The work these men of God did was back breaking. They carried, […]
Levites Instead Of Their Firstborn – Daily Devotional – November 17th, 2015
Numbers 3:12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine; God had saved the firstborn in Egypt. Because He had saved them they all belonged to Him. They would […]
Simple Obedience – Daily Devotional – November 16th, 2015
Numbers 2:34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.

Don’t Count The Men Of God – Daily Devotional – November 15th, 2015
Numbers 1:49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel: They were to count the warriors. They would have an idea of how many could go and fight for them. They were not to count the Levites. The Levites were not warriors. They […]
Poorer But According To Ability – Daily Devotional – November 14th, 2015
Leviticus 27:8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

Consequences For Sin But Still Loved – Daily Devotional – November 13th, 2015
Leviticus 26:44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. God has brought His people out of Egypt and bondage. […]
Treat Everyone Alike – Daily Devotional – November 12th, 2015
Leviticus 24:22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God. God was explaining to his people His laws. He wanted them to treat everyone alike. If a Jew hurt someone that was a stranger, a foreigner, it […]

Sorrow Not As Others That Have No Hope – Daily Devotional – November 10th, 2015
Leviticus 21:5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. God’s people were not to mourn like others even in the Old Testament. We do not exaggerate our loss. We know that our people, our family, those that […]
Stand Against Sin – Daily Devotional – November 9th, 2015
Leviticus 20:4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not: 5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring […]

Leviticus 17:15 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. He ate it […]
Contamination Can Spread – Daily Devotional – November 6th, 2015
Leviticus 15:12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

Leviticus 12:8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean. When the lady had to make […]
Even The Man Of God Needed To Sacrifice – Daily Devotional – November 4th, 2015
Leviticus 9:8 Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. Though Aaron was the chosen man of God he had to sacrifice to atone for his own sins before he ever thought of working with the people. Preachers, pastors, missionaries, deacons, etc are all people. […]
Dodge Hunger Food Drive
Okay, we understand that the idea of a full night of jumping on trampolines at SkyZone may not sound like fun to you. Even if that is true, I bet you still would love to be involved in an event that would help our students share the Gospel with their friends and give them a […]
Provision Made For The Man Of God – Daily Devotional – November 3rd, 2015
Leviticus 7:8 And the priest that offereth any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.

It Shall Be Forgiven – Daily Devotional – November 2nd, 2015
Leviticus 6:7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein. This guy did something on purpose. He did it. He lied about it and even swore falsely. He used violence in the crime. […]
Bring What You Are Able – Daily Devotional – November 1st, 2015
Leviticus 5:11 But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is […]
