    Why Are We Told To Grow Where We Are Planted?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 15, 2023
     | 994 views

    We are told that believers should be content where they are and abide with God. We are to Bud, Bloom, Blossom and be Blissful wherever we are. It takes time for us to get to where God wants us to be.

    If we are faithful in what God has called us to do, we will be brought up (budding). God has a plan, and He is preparing for us to bloom. God brings us through trials in order for us to blossom. We are to wait for Him while He prepares us to be in the condition that we are to be in. In this ...read more

    Corinthians Series (Part Two) Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING We are going to continue on with our series in 1st Corinthians today. If you remember from last time, we looked at Paul’s introduction to the letter, and we looked a little bit at the historical ...read more

    What Does It Mean That Our Body Is The Temple?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 14, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,686 views

    We are to use our body to give God glory in all that we do.

    In these first few verses, Paul was portraying the qualities of unbelievers. He does not imply that these individuals are automatically and permanently prevented from going to heaven. Christians come from all foundations, including these. They might continue to battle with malicious longings; ...read more

    What Wilt Thou Have Me To Do?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 13, 2023
     | 1,391 views

    A man on his way to work has an encounter that he was not prepared for. His life changed that day and he was never the same, nor were the people that he knew or met as he traveled.

    Undoubtedly many people have heard this story of Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus. The story of how the primary enemy of the early church meets Jesus is told in Acts 9:1-9. Saul, the man who had detained the followers of Jesus in Jerusalem (Acts 7:58, 8:1-3), moves north to Damascus, ...read more

    Do We Have A Case Of Heartburn?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 12, 2023
     | 1,505 views

    This is the story of the two men that were going back to Emmaus and what happened to them on their journey. They almost missed something because they were centered around their own personal issues.

    In verses 13-16: The two men walking toward Emmaus were so caught up in themselves and their own problems that they did not see Jesus or even recognize Him. Undoubtedly, they had heard His preaching, the various parables, and what He was teaching about Himself. It was as if they were not looking ...read more

    Why Are We Told To Wait For God?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 11, 2023
     | 1,652 views

    Waiting for something to happen is hard to do. But there is a purpose for waiting. Can Christians learn to wait without having a negative attitude?

    Have you actually taken the time to notice how many fast-paced things are in our society now? You can stroll through any grocery store or convenient store and see all the ‘instant’ items that are for sale. There is instant coffee, instant tea, soup, grits, oatmeal, potatoes, milk, instant internet ...read more

    What Are We To Do When God Does Nothing?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 11, 2023
     | 1,059 views

    This is a story about one of two men that did not die. Enoch had walked with God and was taken so that he did not see death, Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind.

    In the preceding chapter, Elijah has a contest with evil prophets. In this chapter, Elijah flees for his life. In verses 1-4: Jezebel was maddened with regards to the passing of her prophets since they had told her what she wanted to hear, forecasting her future glory and power. Their ...read more

    Are We Being Spoon Fed Or Are We Feeding Ourselves?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 10, 2023
     | 1,452 views

    How many Christians today are actually taking time out of their week, much less any given day, to study the Word of God.

    Key verses (31-35) John 6:22-40 portrays the underlying outcome of Jesus’ feeding of the thousands the day previous. The people’s real longing is for another extraordinary and supernatural scene and all the free food. In this entry, Christ starts to clarify the genuine significance behind His ...read more

    How Are We To Know The Truth?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 9, 2023
     | 1,086 views

    The emphasis of Second John chapter 2 is on the basics of following Christ, of truth and love, and to warn against false teachers. We are not to just read the Word of God, but we are to obey it as well.

    When a believer knows how to walk in the truth, he or she should know how to act, should know what to do, is willing to learn, and is determined to do so. In verses 1-3: The “elder” is John, one of twelve disciples. He also is the author of the Gospel of John, the three epistles, and the book of ...read more

    What Are We To Do If There Is A Tater Family In Our Church?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 8, 2023
     | 1,435 views

    Although the title to this message mentions a Tater Family, the passage of Scripture speaks about the servants working with the pounds. Do Christians of today resemble the servants in the Scripture?

    This is the story about the pounds. This story tells of a certain nobleman who received a kingdom, and it showed the followers of Jesus what they were to do during the time between when Jesus would leave and his Second Coming. The followers were to be unwavering and fruitful while he was gone. ...read more

    Is There Only One Ark?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 7, 2023
     | 1,168 views

    God has given us directions on what to do and how to do it, but how many of us have actually paid attention and are following those directions?

    The First Ark. No doubt many people have heard about The Ark. But what is The Ark, really? Is it more than the Old Testament story about a man who built a boat and put a bunch of animals on it before a great flood? What is or was the purpose of The Ark? We will take a few moments to go back and ...read more

    What Is Our Purpose. Series

    Contributed by Louis Mare on Jan 6, 2023
     | 2,425 views

    Like God called John to a specific purpose—before birth and before he could qualify himself for the task—He calls us to spread His story of salvation to the world—even when we don’t feel capable of doing the job.

    You know, I do think we all have a purpose on this earth. The reason we have skills and talents, and passions are so that we can serve the greater community, earn a living, and also live life. I have seen in my own life that sometimes we hit this mid-life crisis scenario where we question our ...read more

    What Is Our Duty?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 6, 2023
     | 2,279 views

    What does the word “duty” mean? The online dictionary states that duty is a moral or legal obligation; a responsibility or a task or action that someone is required to perform. So, as a Christian, what is our duty?

    Why Are We Told To Keep Our Home Fires Burning?

     | 720 views

    Keeping our home fires burning. Is this referring to those who may have a fireplace in their home?

    The Return from A Wedding: Albeit this illustration applies to Israel and the second coming of Christ when He returns to establish His earthly Kingdom, it fundamentally applies to us, the church, as we await His return during the Rapture. This story is about a groom that had a wedding supper with ...read more
