    Contributed by Charles Mallory on May 23, 2020
     | 4,289 views

    We must have sacrificial and unconditional love for all people because Jesus showed us this way to love others.

    IT WAS NOVEMBER 19, 1863, WHEN PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN SPOKE IN GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, SAYING “...WE HAVE COME TO DEDICATE A PORTION OF THAT FIELD, AS A FINAL RESTING PLACE FOR THOSE WHO HERE GAVE THEIR LIVES THAT THAT NATION MIGHT LIVE.

    Where Are The Intercessors

     | 16,099 views

    What could possibly be so terrible that when God see's it he is horrified by the sight? It is the sight of a people who have no intercessor.

    Isaiah 59:16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

    Gifts For The Lord

    Contributed by Robert Dovenmuehle on Dec 25, 2012
     | 5,271 views

    The magi brought extravagant gifts for the baby Jesus even though they could not know what this child would do. We know that Jesus the Christ is God and saves us from our sin. What gifts do we bring to our Lord?

    Today we observe Epiphany, the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, with the visitation of the magi to the baby Jesus. The visit of the magi is probably the most misunderstood part of the Christmas story. The magi are often depicted in nativity scenes as if they arrived for the birth of Jesus, ...read more

    Servant Leadership is about how much we invest in developing others to be healthier, wiser, wealthier, more famous, than ourselves.

    Servant Leadership - Part 4 It is about others This is the lent season. It is important for us to focus on the Sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross during this period.

    Lasting Comfort

     | 11,443 views

    We all want comfort. And God offers it to us as he did to the exiled Israelites. We can take comfort that our sin has been paid in full, that God's word outlasts our problems, and that God is coming again. Forgiven, forever, for sure!

    Isaiah 40:1-11 Lasting Comfort Handel’s “Messiah” begins the first phrase of today’s passage: “‘Comfort ye, comfort ye my people,’ saith your God.” The theme of “comfort” sounds good, doesn’t it? Especially when you just can’t quite get comfortable. Bones ache, thoughts ruminate, neighbors ...read more

    The illustration is a fictional story about "knowing the day of our death". Jesus knew why He was going to Jerusalem. The disciples believe the "kingdom" of the Son of Man, Daniel 7 is about to be fulfilled. Jesus turns Daniel upside down. Service!

    In Jesus Holy Name March 21, 2024 Text: Mark 10:43b-45 Redeemer “Kingdom Power: Politics or Service” Years ago I heard or read a fictional story about a man who wanted to make a lot of money in the stock market. But there were just too many ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 740 views

    How can we live in such as way as Christ followers that God will be free to show up and show off in our lives and draw unbelievers to Christ?

    I want to talk with you about God’s visitation program. Now, when we think of a visitation program in church, we think of visiting someone to tell them about Jesus. But today, I want us to think about God visiting us to show Jesus to others. (READ TEXT) In verse 12, Peter mentions “the day God ...read more

    A Spirit Filled Church

     | 203 views

    A Spirit-filled church receives the power of the Holy Spirit to witness for Christ, live in unity, and finish God’s final mission.

    There is a picture of the church in the book of Acts that stands as both our history and our calling. It is a picture of a community awakened, empowered, and united by the Holy Spirit for the fulfillment of God’s final purpose in the world. Acts does not begin with a church capable of such a ...read more

    Fellowship In The Gospel

    Paul tells his firends at Philippi that they are partners with him in the Fellowship of the gospel as it is expressed in Thanksgiving, Prayer, Love and Service.

    FELLOWSHIP IN THE GOSPEL There’s a key phrase in the opening verses of Paul’s Letter to the Philippians: in verse 5 of the Authorised Version he refers to "Fellowship in the Gospel". I wonder what comes to mind on hearing these words? Money isn’t the only thing that can be devalued. Words, too, ...read more
