    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,744 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

    Considering God’s Choice

     | 27,588 views

    God’s criterion for choosing His servants is far different from man’s in that man tends to look only at the cover of a man, while God looks at the core of a man.

    Text: I Sam.16: 1-5, 13a Intro: If you were going to choose someone to do an important job, what would be your criteria? Would they have to have the finest educational background, be a picture of vigor and health, and exude charisma, or would they simply have to be able to do the job, and ...read more

    God Chooses To Bless The World Through Fathers

    Contributed by Sebastian D'souza on Jun 22, 2017
     | 5,093 views

    We don't always appreciate the impact of fathers on the world. This message takes Abraham and the words spoken to him as a foundation for what it means to be a father. It's not just about providing for the household.

    On father's day I want to focus on the father of nations. In fact his name means Father of Nations. His name is Abraham. Abraham was just a regular man, but God called him, gave him a purpose, and rewarded him with a great inheritance. We can learn something about the importance of fathers from ...read more

    God created everyone with a free will to choose between good and evil.

    God created everyone with a free will to choose between good and evil. No where in the gospels is there any example of Jesus trying to force a person to go against their individual will. Jesus knew that a person convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. All Christians have the ...read more

    The challenge of our Christian calling is to recognize the goodness of creation without building wealth, power and honor into a false god that lures us into worship.
