How important is cleanliness to you? What if you were in a place where you haven’t bathed or showered for days, weeks, even years? Imagine how you would feel. Imagine how putrid the smell would be. Imagine how disease ridden one might get. Wouldn’t you do anything possible to get clean? What if someone came along and offered to make you clean, would you jump at the prospect? One might be clean outside, but we are all filthy sinners on the inside that need to be cleansed, and given new clothing. There is only one way to make ourselves clean, …

The Glorious Gospel
Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan Nickerson – March 21st, 2024
In this small portion of Scripture, we find the truth that all of us must rediscover. The gospel is not merely an introductory message to Christianity – it is the message of Christianity, and the believer would do well to give his life in the pursuit of knowing its glory and making its glory known. There are many things to be known in this world and countless truths to be investigated within the realm of Christianity itself; nevertheless, the glorious gospel of our blessed God and his son Jesus Christ …
Born To Victory
Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan Nickerson – March 20th, 2024
(1 John 5:4)…..For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.

Effort is also required in the spiritual battle of good against evil we are all engaged in. But the effort required of us is to maintain our attitude of faith in God and His Word. We cannot overcome the strategies of …
I Will Enjoy My LORD
Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan Nickerson – March 18th, 2024
What do you enjoy? In life, what is the one thing delights your soul. For those in the world it could be anyone or anything. But for the believer it has to be the LORD Himself. I don’t mean for that to sound cliche, but it is true. In (Psalm 37:4), God’s word says, “Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” You should enjoy the Lord, not just serve Him out of obligation. If you have a friend you enjoy being …
The Gospel
Daily Devotions With Pastor Dan Nickerson – February 26th, 2024
Romans 5:18 tells us that Adam’s one sin brought condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone. the word Gospel means good news. It was not originally a religious word, but meant good news which makes people happy and excited. If what you have heard about Jesus Christ does not make you happy and excited, then you have not yet truly heard and understood the Gospel as it is meant to be understood.
The basic outline is that …
Is Your Soul Flooded With Gratitude
Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan Nickerson – February 23rd, 2024
Does the gospel, the good news that God saved you from sin and judgment by His great love and mercy, cause your heart to rejoice and your soul to be flooded with gratitude? Does the fact that you could have been a vessel of wrath prepared for destruction, but instead you’re a vessel of mercy, which God prepared beforehand for glory, cause you to marvel and ask, “Why me?” If you grew up in a Christian home or you’ve been saved for a long time, you face the danger of …
Vital Is Jesus’ Resurrection
Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan Nickerson – February 21st, 2024
Many people today do not believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But for the believer (the disciple of Jesus Christ) the resurrection of Jesus Christ is an actual, true, event that is reason for our celebration in the spring. It is a foundational truth without which the gospel ceases to be good news. If Christ was not raised from the grave then nothing we do in the faith has any meaning (1 Corinthians 15:12-19).
So what significance does the resurrection have for us? Let me give you five reasons. …
