    How Are We To Be Servant Leaders?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 21, 2023
     | 879 views

    Jesus teaches about serving others. We are not to think too highly of ourselves in the service of the Lord.

    In this passage of Scripture, Mark is telling us what Jesus teaches about serving others. This concurs with the story in Matthew 20:20-28. Mark records that John and James went to Jesus with their appeal; in Matthew, their mother likewise made the petition. There is no logical inconsistency in the ...read more

     | 1,557 views

    Being free in Christ, we are still constrained by love.

    The Law of Love Displayed in the Practice of Paul Text: 1 Corinthians 9:1-18 Well let me begin by saying that I was really hesitant to preach on this passage today… I was hesitant not because it’s controversial in any way or something that will step on toes… it’s really not that kind of passage. ...read more

    Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on May 17, 2023
     | 2,160 views

    Is it true that the good die young? When the good person dies young, God has a better purpose for that person. The wicked do not realize that God may extend their lives on earth as a means for them to repent.

    When Bad Things Happen to Good People Isaiah 57:1-3 When I was young, I remember hearing a song by Billy Joel titled “Only the Good Die Young.” This song makes the statement that the Catholic girls “start much to late.” He is encouraging them to give up their virginity because “only the good die ...read more

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 14, 2023
     | 1,023 views

    In this passage of scripture, Jesus tells the parable of the four soils in Mark 4:1-9. Then in Mark 4:10-25, Jesus gives an explanation about the parable of the four soils.

    Jesus used parables to instruct the people. Parables are brief tales utilizing recognizable scenes to clarify spiritual truth. This technique for educating urges the audience to think. It disguises the truth from the individuals who are excessively obstinate or biased to hear what is being ...read more

    Why Are We Told To Take No Thought For Our Lives?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 6, 2023
     | 812 views

    We should turn our worries into prayers. While we are in prayer and with thanksgiving in our hearts, we should learn to give it to God and leave it there.

    Matthew 6:25-34 closes this piece of the Sermon on the Mount with Jesus teaching about worrying. Indeed, even to the extremely poor, Jesus says not to stress over food or garments. God takes care of the birds and garments the lilies in a beautiful manner, and God’s children are definitely more ...read more

    In First Corinthians chapter 8 Paul addresses the liberty we have in Christ, but that liberty is never license to sin, or to do harm to our fellow believers.

    Puffed Up or Built Up Text: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 Now it’s been a little while since we’ve been in 1st Corinthians, and that’s because I wanted us to see what Habakkuk had to say about faith, and I felt that was important considering our worlds current situation… but this morning we’re going to go ...read more

    Honour God By Doing Good

     | 2,310 views

    The Pharisees wanted to use the Sabbath to trap Jesus and accuse Him of wrongdoing. Jesus went into the synagogue on the Sabbath to honour God and do good, which is the true purpose of the Sabbath. He obeys the will of God and does what is right despite the opposition.

    Matt 12:9-21 Honour God By Doing Good Matt 12:9-21 ESV Parallel Passages: Mark 3:1-5 and Luke 6:6-11 9He went on from there and entered their synagogue. 10And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might ...read more

     | 1,825 views

    Paul took us on a look at the message of the Gospel, its messengers, ministry and our trust in the Master of the work of the Gospel. He helped us understand the endurance we need, the character and nature of the ministry.

    2 Cor 6:3-13 Authentic Servants of God Paul has been writing in answer to his critics and in defence of his ministry. • This was necessary because false teachers had sown discord among them, challenging Paul’s authority, questioning his motive in ministry and casting doubt on his character. • Why ...read more

    ​are We Truly The Salt Of The Earth Or Have We Become Bland?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 28, 2023
     | 1,344 views

    What does it mean to be good for nothing? Does it mean that a person is of little worth? How does the concept of salt compare with the Christian?

    What is salt used for and for what is it good for? In Matthew 5:13, assuming a seasoning has no flavor, it has no worth. On the off chance that Christians put forth no attempt to influence their general surroundings, they are of little worth to God. If we are like the world in an excessive amount, ...read more
