    "Our Identity In Christ (V): We Are Servants Of God”

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021
     | 8,553 views

    Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the fifth/last sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

    We have learned our four identities in Christ. Today I will share the fifth and the last one, which is we are servants of God. Many Christians think servants of God are Christians who receive special calls from God to carry certain missions whether to be missionaries, pastors, or teachers. Is that ...read more

    Why Being Good Matters Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,564 views

    We must be vigilant and fight against gratifying ourselves in opposition to the will of God.

    Today, I want to talk about “Why Being Good Matters.” And I want to express it in such a way that rebels who repent of their sins have hope. We want to examine our purpose in living against the backdrop of life itself. Not a sanitized view of life that we find in an ivory tower, stained glass ...read more

    War Of Your Worlds Series

     | 2,233 views

    When you see yourself as an alien and an exile with your citizenship in heaven, and God as your only Sovereign, you stop drifting with the current of the day. You ponder what is good for the soul and what honors God in everything.

    When is something worth nothing? Zimbabwe’s central bank will introduce a $50 billion note -- enough to buy just two loaves of bread – as a way of fighting cash shortages amid spiraling inflation.

    The Church And The Government: Whose Side Am I On? Series

    You are citizens of two orders, two systems. This world with its necessary institutions, and the order of the kingdom of God with its necessary values. This is not because the two orders have equal authority, but because God is the ruler and owner of both.

    We’re traveling through the book of 1 Peter. Peter’s two letters are a mere 166 verses. Nonetheless, they are packed with keen wisdom from a seasoned pastor about how to live amidst life’s trials. In this short little letter, Peter encourages the churches in now modern day Turkey to stand fast ...read more

    Peculiar People

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jun 8, 2021
     | 4,026 views

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

    Heaven Help My Home!

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 29, 2021
     | 2,259 views

    The word “honor” means to esteem your parents or to value them. The Bible calls on you to respect them. You don’t have to think your parents are marvelous. You don’t have to do everything they say once you are an adult. But you must honor them.

    If your home is anything like mine, see if this sounds familiar. You have more expenses than money. Your house isn’t anywhere near as clean as you would like it. You’re embarrassed by the messiness of your garage. You have not won “yard of the month” in a long, long time. There is more arguing than ...read more

    What Does The Bible Say About The Christian’s Relationship With The Government?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 25, 2021
     | 3,523 views

    What do Paul and Peter have to say about the Christian and government? Is the church allowed to pursue the violent overthrow of secular governments? What should be our focus if it's not the accumulation of earthly power?

    - We are going to dig into a subject this morning that is challenging. We are going to be talking about church and state. It’s one we don’t talk about particularly often. - As we start, I want to acknowledge up front that these passages are difficult. I want to say that I don’t like everything ...read more

    Sinners and the government are not the real problem. We are our own worse enemies refusing to clean ourselves up so sinners will want to be clean.

    Bob Dylan famously wrote, "But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody." As disciples of Jesus, we must choose daily who gets to be king in our life. Which king do you follow?

    * Squeeze to the last drop: The manager at the local pub had what he considered to be the world’s strongest man working as his bouncer.

    Last week we looked at the first two temptations of Jesus in Matt. 4:1-7. Today we finish by getting into vss. 8-11.

    THE BATTLE IN THE DESERT (part two) Matthew 4:8-11 Last week we started looking into the temptation of Jesus in Matt. 4. We learned in vs. 1 that Jesus was led into the desert by the Holy Spirit to be tempted. Although that seems odd, we see it was for a purpose. Jesus was about to embark on his ...read more

    If we want to influence our friends and family members to follow Jesus, then we must KNOW who we are and BE who we are in Christ. We are God's holy temple and God's special people, designed to be living displays of His greatness, so let's live that way.

    When it comes to the believer's involvement in politics, this principle should guide us: God calls us to submit to all human authority because of Christ, because of our critics, and because we are free in Him!

    Deborah Horn, of McLeansboro, Illinois, was brushing her 9-year-old daughter’s hair on a Sunday morning when she began to pepper her mother with a lot of questions. Mom was doing her best to answer them until her daughter looked up and asked, “Are we Christians or Republicans?” ...read more
