    Gifts Are Not Just For Collecting... They Are For Using!

    Contributed by Julie Marxhausen on Feb 29, 2016
     | 6,269 views

    This speaks of spiritual gifts and the privilege of using them rather than comparing them with others, wanting someone else's gifts, or choosing not to use them.

    How many of you ever get gifts? Do you open them? Weird question! Right? Of course we open gifts we receive. Who would leave gifts unopened? Hopefully we all get some really neat gifts from time to time, but I’ll guess, some of you get gifts that aren’t “all that.” ...read more

    We all carry worries and anxieties. Instead of keeping them to ourselves, we should give them to Jesus and trust Him to handle them.

    Let's be real. Some of us are sick of hearing about how great things could be. We want to believe, but we're not sure how. If that's you, I'm glad you're here. Remember these verses: Psalm 55:2: Give your worries to God and He'll take care of you. Matthew 6:25: Don't stress about your life, God's ...read more

    As Christians, we are commanded to honor our leaders, to pray for them, to obey them but Psalm 146 cautions us not to put our trust in them or praise them in the same manner in which we trust and praise God.

    Jesus stands before Roman’s highest and most powerful representative in Judea, Samaria, and Idumea. Pontus Pilate looks at Him with a mixture of curiosity and annoyance. He absolutely hates being involved in these petty local squabbles. “Are you the king of the Jews?” he asks. Jesus answered, ...read more

    Speaking The Truth In Love - Loving The Mentally Ill Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 5,036 views

    If we love the mentally ill, we won't judge them, blame them or suggest that they are simply suffering through a spiritual battle. If we love them, we will help, we will listen, we will accept them.

    A few weeks ago we discussed what it means to speak the truth in love and how we do so with unbelievers and how we love those who embrace immorality. Today we're going to continue to speak the truth in love for another group of folks that we don't talk about much. This is what we want to discuss ...read more

     | 3,622 views

    The congregation may understand that each of them, by virtue of being a believer, have a spiritual gift given to them and that they are expected to use them in a humble fashion. 

    Introduction: This scripture implores the reader to consider the fact that any grace that they have been given has been given to them by God. It tells us not to think too highly of ourselves. If you have an obvious gift from the Lord, it's not because you're extra spiritual. As a matter of ...read more

    Malachi: "God’s Love Is On The Way"

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Dec 13, 2016
     | 5,292 views

    The believers in Israels in Malachi's day needed to have their eyes opened to the compassion of God above them; the need of those around them; and the callousness within them.

    Through-out this book, the prophet Malachi addresses the unbelieving people of Israel. But in our passage today, he turns to the few believers left in the nation. They were lamenting the lack of action on the part of God to bring judgment to unbelievers around them. They'd concluded God was ...read more

    I grew up in the occult. My adoptive Mom was the practitioner and a raging blackout alcoholic. It was not the dark satanic sacrificial worship type.
