    What does it mean to "take up" or "bear a cross? What does it mean when someone says, "I want to take up my cross and follow Jesus"?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK This morning I want us to look at a passage of Scripture found in Mark 8:34-35. "Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples & said: ‘If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself & take up ...read more

    "Jesus did that to the extent of surrendering Himself to the Father’s will and dying on the cross for our salvation. You don’t get more other-centered than that."

    Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time 2016 Almost forty years ago, the movie Alien frightened a couple of generations of Americans with its notion that a monster could grow inside someone’s chest and then burst out to cause death and destruction. But that notion was not new. Jesus ben Sira, ...read more

    Do you feel or think that what you do doesn’t matter to anyone or it’s just a waste of time? Do others tell you what you do doesn’t matter or it is a waste of time?

    Wasted! Mark 14:3-9 I want to start by asking you 2 questions: 1/Do you feel or think that what you do doesn’t matter to anyone or it’s just a waste of time? 2/Do others tell you what you do doesn’t matter or it is a waste of time? This is what is what we read about here in Mark 14. A ...read more

    Our Change Of Masters

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 15, 2023
     | 1,490 views

    Man was made to rule. When God created man, he gave him priority over all things. Yet it is equally true that man was made to serve.

    In the beginning, man was placed in the garden to keep it and to address it. He was to serve his maker. We find within man a war, two great forces seeking the mastery of his life. Galatians 5:17. Evil and good, sin and righteousness. If evil seeks to rule man, so also the good spirit. That spirit ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,524 views

    In this world we are told that climbing the ladder, stepping on other people, and even "being served" is a path to greatness - the Bible teaches something entirely different.

    Life’s Great Paradox Galatians 5:1, 13-15 * To define the word “paradox” is an apparently true statement or group of statements that seems to lead to a contradiction or to a situation that defies intuition. Let me give you a couple of examples; * If a compulsive liar tells you, ...read more

    Put God to the test, He is ready and through His word He encourages us to. If we reap what we sow lets be sowers.

    Today we want to talk about Putting God to the test! Turn with me to Malachi 3:6-7 (NIV) 6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I ...read more

    All we do for God should be done with excellence. How do we overcome the good enough for governemt work mentality?

    OVERCOMING MEDIOCRITY INTRODUCTION: For many, what we give to God is little more than our leftovers. We have allowed society to entice us with its many “things” and rationalize that God wants us to be happy. While I cannot deny that God desires the best for His creation, we must ...read more

    The freedom we have received in Christ imposes responsibility to serve one another.

    “You were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ But if you bite and devour one another, watch out ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Be Commissioned?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 6, 2023
     | 856 views

    Isaiah’s perspective on God in the initial four verses gives us a feeling of God’s significance, power, and mystery. Isaiah's case of perceiving his sin before God urges us to admit our own wrongdoings.

    Isaiah 6:1-13 The image of absolution that Isaiah gives advises us that we are pardoned as well. At the point when we perceive how incredible God is, how guilty we are, and the degree of His absolution, we get the strength to accomplish His work. How does our idea of the significance of God match ...read more

    Luke 16:19-31 “We All Know Lazarus” We have all seen him. He lies on a pile of newspapers outside a shop doorway, covered with a rough blanket. Perhaps he has a dog with him for safety.

    Jesus does not need nor want an audience in order to heal. He heals to bring people into service. He cures death to bring us to new life today.

    When Jesus Touches… Mark 1:29-37 This morning it was so tempting to start off with a mother-in-law joke. But, I have several problems.
