    The Widow's Might

    We are called not to trust in our own strength or power, but in God.

    THE WIDOW'S MIGHT There is a sly skill that many of us practice to varying degrees. It's called name-dropping. We want to impress others with who we know, because we feel that it reflects positively on us if we move in the right circles. For ex., many years ago, my claim to fame was that I worked ...read more

    Through the Holy Spirit of God, what we perceive, we achieve as long as it is within the will of God.

    Long before the next growing season, the master gardener carefully selects the desired seeds to be used for the next crop. These ideal seeds are chosen, inspected, and later planted into the prepared soil with the expectation that they will produce. Nevertheless, because of the dangers of disease, ...read more

    Pentecost 19(B) - Jesus encourages: "Have salt in yourselves!" Believers do this when they put aside all jealousy and pride and are filled with the word of God.

    “HAVE SALT IN YOURSELVES” (Outline) September 21, 2008 -- PENTECOST 19 -- Mark 9:38-50 INTRO: Salt is not as valuable today as it was during the time of Jesus. Salt can be purchased very cheaply.

     | 3,197 views

    Like an unexpectedly huge mustard plant, the kingdom will grow and comfort, in unexpected ways.

    Like Malformed Mustard Mark 4:30-32 The kingdom of God is like a VW Beetle. It is one of the smallest cars you will ever see. It is not very comfortable or powerful. It is not very stylish or practical. It is very cheap and not impressive in any way. There is no status with owning one. And yet, ...read more

    This is a message in a series based on questions that Jesus asked and that were asked of Him.

    There seems to be a fundamental human urge in all of us that causes us to want to be the greatest at doing or being something James and John are really a good representation of the human race when they ask Jesus to let them sit on each side of Him in His kingdom. . If left to go unchecked this can ...read more

    Give Thanks

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 19, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,013 views

    We cannot give thanks FOR all circumstances but we can IN all circumstances. God has a purpose in every storm, shipwreck, tragedy, disease, or whatever that comes upon His children. Giving thanks to God is meant for our good; it enriches our life.

    Paul was a man who suffered a great deal of pain and yet wrote, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (I Thess 5: 16-18). For Paul to give us such an advice is amazing. • It shows that a Christian can give thanks ...read more

    Jesus marveled at the faith of the centurion. In the passage we see 4 characteristics of a marvelous faith.

    Introduction • Last week we looked at the compassion a Christian ought to have. • Jesus showed it to us in the life of a Samaritan. • Today, in looking at a faith that caused Jesus to marvel, it is not in a Jewish preacher, or teacher. It is not in one of his disciples. It is in ...read more

    Paul left some final instructions for Titus regarding the church and his commitment to them and the Gospel. We need to embrace and practice these principles in our day in order to maintain doctrinal purity and bear an effective Christian witness.

    Parting Words Titus 3: 8-15 Although this was a rather brief letter, Paul had shared much with Titus regarding the ministry he had received from the Lord. He was encouraged to establish elders in each of the cities in Crete in order to assist with leadership within the local church. Paul offered ...read more

    The Secret Life Of Titus Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 23, 2022
     | 3,287 views

    We might think that Titus had a boring life. He is never mentioned in the book of Acts. But when we piece together the life of Titus from Galatians, 2 Corinthians, 2 Timothy and the book of Titus we realize Titus had one of the most adventure filled ministries of anyone we find in the Bible.

    In the movie the Secret Life of Walter Mitty we see Walter who works at Life Magazine developing pictures. He is leading a very boring life. Because his life is so boring he daydreams of having exciting adventures where he is at the center of danger and excitement. But then back at work he finds ...read more
