The Reformed Church in America’s general secretary Rev. Dr. Eddy Aleman shares inspiration and trustworthy assurance from Psalm 46.
Judas: Opportunity Lost
Message by Pastor Mark. Judas (Iscariot) was given every opportunity to be shaped for greatness. Instead, he squandered the opportunity that Jesus laid before him and sold his soul to the Devil. He gave up everything to follow Jesus but never gave him his heart. He was more interested in his own goals and ambition […]
Foundational Obscurity
Message by Pastor Mark. Not all the 12 disciples are well known and famous. Some of these disciples are not spoken of. This should give us hope that we can do great things for the Kingdom of God. Matthew 10:1-5, Revelation 21:14

Faith was difficult for Philip and Jesus needed to teach him that “full” faith in Jesus is required for greatness. John 6:1-15
John: From ‘Son of Thunder’ to ‘Apostle of Love’
Message by Pastor Mark. We know a lot about the Apostle John, mostly from his own writings. Aside from Paul and Luke, John wrote more of the New Testament than anyone else (guided of course by the Holy Spirit). John wrote his gospel, I. II. III John, and the book of Revelation. From his writings […]
