    When we are faced with someone who thinks they are better than we are we try to rise above this through the reassurance that we would never treat anyone else the way they treat us. But with that kind of attitude, are we really any better?

    At one point in our lives, I am sure that we have all have come across someone that has an “I am better than everyone else, especially you” mentality. I myself have encountered this kind of attitude at multiple points throughout my life. I have experience it in the food service industry in which I ...read more

    Barb loved many things, but she loved two things above all else: her husband and her savior. She was a "good" woman" but she realized that being enough would not be good enough to go to heaven

    I once heard the story of a young girl who walked thru a cemetery every night because it was the shortest route to her house.

    What is the most fun of the 7 sins? We deal with people that have feather triggers (hair triggers) with short fuses. We must rise above the debate of desiring to be right, and realize personal relationships develop by love, love never fails.

    God never intended for us to live in constant weariness. His strength is available to all who put their trust in Him. When you wait on the Lord, He renews your strength, making you soar above challenges like an eagle.

    The Christian - The Judgement Seat Of Christ – Part 2 Of 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 27, 2025
     | 218 views

    Above all things God wants faithfulness. Rewards attach to a faithful servant. God is a God of small things and in quietness and confidence is our strength. We look at the quality of works and the testing by fire. To not make the mistake of “TRYING to do” for a reward as that is wrong.

    THE CHRISTIAN - THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST – PART 2 OF 3 In the last study we opened up this subject to see both the joy and seriousness of it. This time we will consider more aspects of The Judgement Seat of Christ including what brings reward and the quality of deeds done for Christ. I will ...read more

    Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

     | 2,724 views

    The story of Jabez shows that it doesn't matter who we are, what our parents have decided for us, or even the future we are 'destined' for: what matters is knowing what we want to be and above all, asking it of God.

    Today, we will explore the inspiring story of Jabes and his powerful prayer. This narrative teaches us that our identity, our past, and even our future do not determine our destiny. What truly matters is knowing what we want to become and, above all, seeking it from God. The story of Jabes takes ...read more
