Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 13, 2024

Our high privileged position is to be lifted from sin and made the adopted sons of God. That makes us heirs, and this time we are opening up what THE INHERITANCE is that God has reserved for us in heaven. It is so wonderful. The inheritance was purchased at greatest cost. Praise God!

How To Be A 10

Contributed by Mike Fogerson on Aug 28, 2013

The Widow's Mite Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 30, 2018

The story of the widow's mite has been used to show Christians what their attitude toward giving should be. This message challenges that traditional and longstanding teaching.

Growing up I don’t think I heard a teaching about the widow’s mite that did not take the widow and make her the standard by which all of us are to give when it comes to our giving. “This poor widow woman came to the altar and gave her last mite. She did that for the Lord! What an example she is to ...read more

Don't Let It Go Out! Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Nov 22, 2017

Payday Someday

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 15, 2008

Do You Have Eeyore Syndrome?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 5, 2012
