In this past week, did you? Did you share the Gospel with someone? What did you do that brought God glory? Church, when I ask you these questions each week, it is actually a self-evaluation for me. Some weeks I score touchdowns. Some weeks I fumble miserably!

Thanksgiving Vs Thanksliving

Contributed by Danny Anderson on Oct 27, 2006

God not only deserves our thanks, but I believe He also desires it. He wants us to be grateful for His goodness rather than just take it all for granted. How many of you took time out this past week just to re-count your blessings and thank God for everyt

Thanksgiving Versus Thanksliving Text: I Thessalonians 5:18 Introduction: I believe Scripture substantiates the fact that God expects us to thank Him for His blessings in our lives.

Living In The Kingdom 10 Series

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 20, 2022

In Part 10 of this series we examine what Jesus said about making an oath. In this message we see that as a Christian our word should be our bond - it should be proof enough of our intention or past actions. We should never have to make an oath to ensure someone believes what we are saying.

The Limits Of Tolerance
