    Never underestimate the value of your supporting role. Leadership is a lonely road at best, it is better when you know someone has got your back! Cover your leaders when they are most vulnerable.

    Jesus cautions us about the perils of longing for a past life we are meant to abandon, as illustrated by the story of Lot's wife in Luke 17:32.

In Luke 17:32, Jesus urges us to remember an unnamed woman and the grave dangers of looking back to a life we are called to leave behind. This warning is one of the most sobering in the entire Bible.

    You may be retired from secular work, but your work for God has just been enlarged!

    During my meditation and prayer time it came to me that I am not retired, I am in full time ministry! Not in a paying position, but certainly in position for having a rewarding life that is more than pay. Most of my life, I have been bi-vocational and ministered without pay.

    Christian Atheist: Witnessing Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Apr 4, 2015
     | 4,558 views

    Christian Atheists, those who say they believe in God but often live as though He doesn’t exist, know they should share their faith, but don’t for whatever reason. I believe there are three reasons why we don’t share our faith.

    This sermon is based off of a few ideas in Craig Groeschel’s book “The Christian Atheist: Believing in God but Living as if He Doesn’t Exist.” Zondervan, 2010. ISBN: 9780310332220 CHRISTIAN ATHEIST: WITNESSING 1 PETER 3:15 IN THE WORK CUBICLE (p) It’s a normal day at ...read more

    "When Duty Calls" is an exposition of Jesus' instructions to his disciples in Luke 17:1-10. This passage teaches that obedience to Jesus requires holy fear, unlimited forgiveness, genuine faith, and total submission.

    Seeking means intentional effort to find. Finding Waldo is not always easy. Neither is finding his kingdom and his righteousness. Yet it is worth the effort.

    When I think of seeking or searching, “Where’s Waldo?” The busy pictures where you search for Waldo and other objects that often blend into the rest of the picture. You have to search and search to find him. Sometimes it is easy and it jumps right out at you but usually it is not. The ...read more
