The Gospel Is All That Matters Series

Contributed by Kamal Weerakoon on May 24, 2003

Why do we have so little impact on our world? Why are we so much like the world, and so un-like our heavenly Father? The second half of Philippians ch 1 challenges us to get our priorities right - the Gospel is all that matters!

Introduction Imagine this. You’ve become a missionary. You’ve gone to a foreign country that hasn’t heard the Gospel. You try not to be a foreigner, you try and fit in with them.

Bramble For President!

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 6, 2010

The politician who sells out to special interests and who has no regard for life is not worthy of our loyalty. We need to get involved in the political process with a servant mentality.

We have here in our church a long-standing tradition of the separation of church and state. We do not get involved in partisan politics. We do not support candidates, we do not give platforms to those running for political office. This sets us off from some other churches, where it is not at all ...read more

Time and again I see evidence that there are those who believe that with enough planning, enough energy, and enough work, they will get you into their orbit.

The Testing & Teaching Of The Feeding Of The Five Thousand

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 26, 2022

You probably know that what we learn after we are out of school is much more than what we learned in the classrooms while we were in school.

A mistake many high school students make is to think that one day they will graduate and never have to apply in their daily living any of the things they learned in those classrooms in the past twelve years. The reason they think that way is because we have been trained to think of a classroom ...read more
