    A Christian can show Christ by living content in a world of Discontentment. However, many have become just like the discontent world.

He takes a nice content moment and turns it into cravings for something my children don’t need and can’t afford – and turns contentment into discontentment." But there’s an ...read more

    Jesus' teaching on discipleship in Luke 9:23-27 shows us what is involved in being a disciple of Jesus.

    With what God has entrusted to us, are we faithful not only as individuals but as a church toward God. Are we willing to faithfully pursue Him and walk with Him no matter what! God put the church in the world; Satan tries to put the world in the church. Be faithful!

    Opening illustration: I wonder what Christ or even the apostle Paul would say if they were to visit our churches today. What a beehive of activity! Committees, programs, entertainment without end. But worship is often downplayed, services are cut back, prayer meetings are eliminated. Some call ...read more

    Though the people wanted the blessings of God, they were not interested in allowing God to change their heart, their attitude & their actions. They wanted their religion to gain them special favor with God so that they would win the dog eat dog struggle

A true and vital relationship with God does not come through external religion and ritual. What brings the response of God into life is a ...read more
