Show Some Gratitude, Won't You?

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 6, 2021

The sins and wickedness of thanklessness and ingratitude have infiltrated the lives of everyone and is even found in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. This has got to stop and we need to repent.

There is a severe shortage of gratitude today, almost to the point of extinction. People are not thankful for favors, gifts, promotions, wealth, family, our homes, our health, or the jobs they have. We now possess the ugly and selfish attitude that we are somehow owed these things, and very few ...read more

Sermon On Life Is A Circus

Contributed by William Meakin on Apr 19, 2023

A circus has misleadingly been attributed as a “metaphor for life.”

Laura Vanderkam, an American author once remarked: “The more times I attend the circus, the more I am struck how inaccurate the life-is-a-circus metaphor is. When people say that life is a circus, they mean chaos. Too much going on, things flying everywhere. The circus is nothing like that. The ...read more

We can't imagine what Mary thought or felt. But maybe we should try.

How could anyone believe? How could anyone understand? It was hard enough for us, who were there. Words are so small. How can I explain to anyone that God came to us - to me - in a way that not even Moses knew? Moses had to turn his head aside when God went by, so as not to be blinded. And ...read more

Laboring As Unto Christ

Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Sep 5, 2016

The heart of the average employee is more influenced by a world view rather than having the mind of Christ, as the Bible tells you and me to have. This teaches about God's perspective on work.

Laboring As Unto Christ Rethinking Our Attitude About Work The Bible says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who ...read more

Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide! Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 8, 2022

Israel acted as if God did not see their heart and their attitude. God saw all the meeting and plans with Egypt. God saw the attitude towards His word. How strange that so many people think that they can hide from God.
