Contributed by Brad Henry on Sep 2, 2011

Jesus said that it is the sinners who need a doctor. This lesson will help you to see how you can turn your church into a hopital and serve the needy.

I am sure you have heard people say: “If I walked in that church the walls would fall down”, “The church has a bunch of hypocrites”, “All they want is my money” and on and on. You see, we have a false view of what church is. Mark 2:16,17 “When the ...read more

Marriage: Build Up Your Spouse Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 10, 2022

Christianity is a call to be selfless. To think of others needs more highly than yourself. In Christian marriage we are called to think of our spouses needs before our own needs.

We all know how easy it is to tear down. You could spend one hour building a sandcastle. It can be destroyed with one swift kick. It is easy to see the dust in someone else’s eye and overlook the plank in your own. In this message on Christian marriage I really just want you to look at half of it. ...read more

How Wise People Build Wealth Series

Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on Nov 13, 2007

Wealth is not just the accumulation of money. That would be the wrong target. Wealth is not solely money. In fact, this is not a message of how to achieve your financial dreams. This is a message about how to live right.

Raised Poor A lot of our perception about wealth and riches comes from the way we were raised. If you were raised in poor conditions, you have a very different view of wealth and what it means than someone who was affluent. Building wealth was always a mystery to me!
