     | 98 views

    True security and joy come from valuing eternal treasures over earthly ones, letting Jesus shape our desires, vision, and devotion above all else.

    Friends, welcome. Some weeks feel like a whirlwind of receipts and reminders, alerts and anxieties. The heart starts hoarding headlines and to-do lists, and before we know it, we wake up with a soul that feels thin. Then Jesus steps into the room of our hearts with words that steady us and set us ...read more

    A look at Election and the place of Free Will based on Jesus' words "Many are called but few are chosen" in Matthew 22

    Matthew 22: 1 – 14 (emphasise v. 14) Jesus said ‘Many are called but few are chosen’. This raises three questions, 1. on what basis are people ‘chosen’, 2 why are only a ‘FEW chosen’? and 3 who does the choosing? God alone, or o we have any free will in the ...read more

    Comparing Jesus to this movement of our time.

    Luke 4:14-21 Is Jesus a Christian Nationalist? This image is often used to communicate the White Christian Nationalist movement. Taken during the January 6th insurrection, we see a solitary white man, his head pressed in prayer against a massive wooden cross, facing the US Capitol ...read more

    Christian Toolbox Basics

    Contributed by Jim Twamley on Apr 2, 2003
    based on 45 ratings
     | 13,102 views

    I like to think that every Christian is born again with a spiritual toolbox. In your Christian toolbox are some basic tools. We all need to become experts in using these tools if we want to become mature Christians.

    CHRISTIAN TOOLBOX BASICS Let me see the hands of everyone who has a toolbox. (interview people “What do you have in your toolbox?” - (next person) “Do you have anything different in your toolbox?” “Why do you have a toolbox?” “What would your life be like without your tools?”) I like to ...read more

    The Credible Christian Woman Series

    The Credible Christian woman will be found if she nurtures her inner being, if she is being herself, if she is being satisfied with the occupation in which she is engaged and if she will be present to others.

    (By Di Appleby) ’For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven’. I think women know a lot about seasons. It’s tied up with our biology – we keep on experiencing changes. When we first menstruate, we come to realise that we are part of a sisterhood that shares a ...read more

    God can use people with or without natural ability and proper background. God often chooses to work with raw material. He prepares and empowers those He chooses to do His work. He does not need to use people who took the part or who are already popular.

    Introduction: ‘We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’ (Ephesians 2: 10) God can use people with or without the natural ability and proper background. God can, and often chooses to, work with raw material. God prepares and ...read more

    This passage of scripture is talking about the Christian’s wardrobe.

When Barbara Bush came along, she was a wonderful First Lady, but she was different. In fact, she was so different that many times it looked like she bought her complete ...read more

    Flies don’t land on a hot stove. A cold church is a dead church, but a hot church is alive.

    What does it mean to be a Church of Casual Christianity? How does a church become casual? Is it speaking of the church building or the church body? Or does it refer to the church members, the individual Christians? Look at the churches depicted in Revelation 2 & 3. • Ephesus – Revelation ...read more

    Funeral for Guy Robinson, one-time chair of Takoma Park Baptist Church’s Building and Grounds Committee. God keeps the doorkeeper secure, and withholds no good thing from those who stay away from dishonesty.

    I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. Eight plus one equals nine, subtract nine, leaves zero. That is the first thing Guy Robinson taught me, more than 23 years ago. It was the first thing, but by no means the last. Guy was at the time I ...read more
