Major construction has begun on Highway 290 in front of the church building, which is scheduled for 2 years. Because of this, you may have to drive a different way to get to the building.

From Highway 290 in Houston: Turn left at the first light (Blue Bell Rd / FM-577). This takes you into the industrial park. Follow the road until you get to the stop sign at the feeder road, then turn right onto that road, and then turn right onto Highway 290. Stay in the right-hand lane and our parking lot entrance is just after the pawn shop. Please be aware that you are turning from a main lane of 50-MPH traffic.

From State Highway 105: Turn left onto Blue Bell Rd (FM-577), cross Highway… Continue reading

By the first century, religious thinking among the Jews had come to be characterized by several different outlooks. The Pharisees, the Sadducees, and Essenes each had their spheres of influence. Having staked out their doctrinal turf, they sought adherents to their particular party. Added to this mix were the distinctly political viewpoints of the Herodians and the Zealots. Thus, the marketplace of religious ideas was not merely a melting pot, it was a simmering container of confusion and counterfeit truth. Judaism of the first century had become fragmented, ritualistic, and tradition‑bound. Therefore, when Jesus stepped forward and began expounding the simple gospel message, people took notice. The common people, those longing for better spiritual instruction, heard him gladly (Mark 12:35‑37). He taught as one having authority, and… Continue reading

Encouragement is an important part of the Christian’s life. We need it. It is a call to bravery and valor to do the right thing – to say and do that which honors God and benefits man. We need the blessings encouragement gives; strength, renewal and reassurance.

God has given us the tools we need to effectively encourage each other and to "stir up love and good works" (Heb. 10:24). He has given us His word of truth that builds us up (Acts 20:32). Our primary tool to use in giving encouragement to another person must be the truth of God, “the word of His grace”. Barnabas’ work of exhortation in Antioch among the new converts (as well as the lost) was fundamentally that of teaching… Continue reading

God gets His wishes. If that were not true, then the world would be a very sad place indeed. Turn in your Bibles to 1 Timothy 2:3‑4, and notice the following principle which is plainly set forth by the Apostle Paul to the young evangelist Timothy:

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

God wishes for all men to be saved, so why are so many lost? If you will turn in your Bible to 2 Peter 3:9, you will hear the Apostle Peter write the answer to this question:

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promises, as some count slackness, but is… Continue reading

A recent news story has just been posted about possible human remains from the sunken Titanic, found on the ocean floor. Pictures taken from recent NOAA expeditions two and a half miles below the surface are starting to show signs of proof that a human body had rested on the ocean floor 100 years ago. Although there is no positive proof because the actual body has been completely decomposed, pictures of a pair of boots and other items seem to indicate that there had been a body there at one time.

This is one example of many to show us just how frail our physical bodies are. After 100 years, a pair of boots and other items still exist. Yet, the human body has done exactly what… Continue reading
