Faithfulness Above All

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

Jesus says, “If anyone comes to me and doesn’t hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters--and yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26).

Intro In the Gospel reading for today, we possibly find Jesus at the height of His success, as we measure it. Never had He enjoyed such large crowds. People flocked to Him--and the numbers just grew larger and larger as He got closer to Jerusalem. Yet, Jesus has to ruin it by preaching a bunch ...read more

Faith Over Feelings

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

You are to believe! But it’s what you put your faith in, that’s what’s often left unsaid. And when the object of your faith is not clear, then your faith isn’t connected to the Lord.

Intro The Apostle John says in his first Epistle, “This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith” (1 John 5:4). If so, then it seems that all we have to do is have more faith. If we believe more, if we have more faith, then faith will destroy our sinful urges. Faith ...read more

When The Lights Go Out

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025

Jesus rekindles our passion to shine. His authority sends us, His Spirit empowers us, and His mission becomes our greatest thrill again
