What If This Is As Good As It Gets?

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Nov 11, 2007

We have to ask ourselves, as believers, if what we are experiencing in Christianity is really all that Jesus promised us. There has to be more, we have been promised more, but it will never happen if sin is rampant in the church.

Is there more to Christianity? Does God have more in store for us than church on Sunday morning and getting to heaven? I believe that the fulfilled life that Jesus spoke about is more than what we’re experiencing most weeks in the local church. People are often fearful, downtrodden and spending ...read more

Confession Is Good For The Soul Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 24, 2010

Confessing Jesus is part of our response to God’s gracious gift of salvation. But is it just a one time thing, where we recite a creedal statement and that’s it? Or is there more to it?

Greedy For Good Times

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 22, 2010

Why are we rarely as thankful as we should be? Perhaps it is because we are so wrapped up with God’s blessings that we forget their source; we are not willing to take the time or expend the patience it takes to say, "Thank You, Lord."

Greedy for Good Times (Deuteronomy 8:10-11, 17-18, Luke 17:11-19) 1. Many of us have families spread throughout the nation. It is hard to get together, even for the holidays. 2.

The Parable Of The Good Father

Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Aug 4, 2010

Today we will look at a familiar passage of scripture commonly called the parable of the prodigal son but I feel a fitting title would be the parable of the good father. We see the selfishness of the two sons set off against the love of the good father.

Luke 15:11-12 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his ...read more
