    based on 1 rating

    Maintaining a mission-minded focus means resolving inner conflict quickly and openly by showing concern for all and valuing all, but also by delegating authority to others that leads to unity. A model for kingdom building!

    Sermon – Maintaining a Mission-Minded Focus Scripture Lesson: Acts 6:1-7 “But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent.

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 10, 2019
     | 4,248 views

    Writing to the "elect lady," John was aware of the delicate balance needed to show grace to those who had wronged her while refusing to compromise her convictions and faith. We must love others, but we cannot compromise our faith for the favor of men.

    Gratitude for the Faithful 2 John 1-4 Our text today comes from the second general epistle the apostle John wrote. Along with the gospel that bears his name, and Revelation, John also wrote 1, 2, and 3rd John. It is believed to have been written around AD 85-95, near the end of John’s life. ...read more

     | 14,315 views

    People refuse to accept God’s authority. We don’t want to be tenants in God’s Vineyard. We want to be the owners.

    "Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!" You’ve no doubt heard that little rhyme, and you’ve probably even used it at times. When I was growing up it was the standard playground retort to an insult. But of course we all know that those words were simply a bluff. They had ...read more

    An examination of the meeting of Jesus and Pontius Pilate and the lessons that can be gained from their encounter, concerning the nature of civil authority and our relationship to it.
