Fooled By A Prophet Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 19, 2021

Prophetic messages on the Internet are abundant posing new challenges as well as possible benefits. Pastors must equip their congregations to test these messages using biblical principles. This series teaches principles for doing that. This message uses lessons from the story in 1 Kings 13.

Intro Last week we taught on the subject of testing prophecy. How do we know that a dream, a vision, a word that someone is sharing is truly from the Lord? And even if it is from the Lord, are we interpreting it correctly and applying it wisely. We found that all three aspects of a prophecy must ...read more

Gratitude As A Character Trait

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 12, 2021

Gratitude is not just a simple "Thank You." It's a character trait that should be a vital part of our everyday life.

We have just finished up with our Easter season. During Holy Week, we reflected on all that Jesus did for us. And we can’t help but to go away with gratitude, being thankful for Jesus doing so much for us. So, I thought I would look into the book of 1 Thessalonians and see what the Bible and the ...read more

Perpetual Gratitude

Contributed by Fr. Damien Evangelista on Feb 28, 2021

Regardless of what happens, we must be thankful to God.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24, St. Paul encourages us to give thanks to God at all times. However, we can easily be thankful to God when everything seems to be going our way, but how can we do this when they don't? Does God, for instance, expect one to be joyful when dealing with loss, or when ...read more

Show Some Gratitude, Won't You?

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 6, 2021

The sins and wickedness of thanklessness and ingratitude have infiltrated the lives of everyone and is even found in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. This has got to stop and we need to repent.

There is a severe shortage of gratitude today, almost to the point of extinction. People are not thankful for favors, gifts, promotions, wealth, family, our homes, our health, or the jobs they have. We now possess the ugly and selfish attitude that we are somehow owed these things, and very few ...read more

Spontaneous Prayer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Spontaneous prayer is much more meaningful and real than planned prayer. Planned prayer is usually locked into formulas, and we repeat the same requests over and over. This kind of prayer gets dull, and it is seen as a duty rather than a joy.

George Buttrick in his large book simply called Prayer tells of why the Acoma Indians in Colorado chose to live on the mesa. The rock gave them safety. The Apaches on the South and the Navajos on the North made them sitting ducks down on the plains, and so they headed for the rocks. A narrow path ...read more
