    I believe that the people of God needs to understand that as God bless us, there is a greater need for us to be good stewards. We curse ourselves when God is trying to bless us because we only partially fulfill the contract. For years one of the greatest

    Can You Stand the Increase? - Sermon 1 of 4 Matthew 9:17 - Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

    The people just couldn’t wait to hear what Jesus had to say. I think there are many times in our lives that we wait with great anticipation for our Lord’s direction. Let’s think of a time that was perhaps in the not too distant past and perhaps we can f

    Two kings, two feasts – one who thought he had everything had nothing, another made everything from nothing.

    Don’t you love a big barbeque? I remember as a kid going to Hooker Oak Park for barbeques and seeing all the people playing and having a good time and smelling the steaks and stuff. Well, today, we are going to attend two feasts, two large get-togethers. And we’re going to see two kings preside ...read more

    When the Apostle Paul says, “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,” it seems to me that he deserves a hearing.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED - 2018) TEXT: Philippians 4:10-15; Isaiah 26:3 ILL. This is reportedly a true story about George Phillips of MS, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he had left the lights on out in his workshop. George ...read more

    Money is perhaps the most powerful tool, other than our tongue, that God has given to us to use for furthering His mission here on earth.

    George or Jesus? Money – one of our greatest treasures. We can’t do with it and we can’t do without it.

    All Is Now Yours: Giving What We Do Not Have

     | 4,995 views

    In uncertain times, it remains true that giving away what we cannot possess anyway is the path to fulfillment; it must, however, be a gift that refreshes the fainting.

    It seems that we do not have what we think we have. Sometimes what seems to be ours is not ours at all. Buildings as sturdy as the Pentagon and as imposing as the World Trade Center can be destroyed in a moment of awful terror. Lives promising and beautiful are snuffed out, and there is little ...read more

    We were created to reach out to others. We are commanded in Scripture to give generously of our time, talents and finances in ministry. But what is or should be our modivation for giving and serving?

    The fortunes of God’s people are not determine by their bank account, but by their relationship with God.

    In China many years ago there lived an old man, with his son and a horse. Back in those days, having a horse was like owning a car today, so you can well imagine how valuable a property the animal must have been. One morning, when the man went to his field to feed the horse, the animal was gone. ...read more

    Joy Plus Poverty Equals Wealth

    World Hunger Sunday, 1989: We will find joy in giving if we make our giving a priority, if it is done proportionately and sacrificially, and if we see it as a privilege.

    The notion is going around in some circles that poor people are happy people. Have you heard that? It’s a kind of romantic idea, that poor people are happy people, that when you have nothing you at least have each other, you at least depend on God … you know all the usual things that are said.
