    Rich Towards God

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 31, 2025
     | 556 views

    The Parable of the Rich Fool teaches us not to hoard the blessing God's lavishes upon us. We find ways to share, give, and provide for others in need with a generous spirit.

    IN HIS SERMON “THE USE OF MONEY,” JOHN WESLEY SAID IN REGARDS TO EARTHLY TREASURES, “EARN ALL YOU CAN, SAVE ALL YOU CAN, AND GIVE ALL YOU CAN.” OUR PARABLE DOES NOT CONDEMN WEALTH OR BEING PROSPEROUS OR HAVING MANY POSESSIONS. IN FACT, THE CHURCH DOES NOT TEACH AGAINST IT, BUT RATHER CALLS US TO ...read more

    Every heart longs for home—and the good news of the gospel is that God’s grace is the doorway that always leads us back.

That’s what I want to talk about today. --- The ...read more

    based on 49 ratings
     | 12,534 views

    I used to think that teaching what God says about giving threaten people. But I’m finding that when people start applying these truths, it’s really not threatening, but thrilling. It’s not a drudgery; it’s a delight.

    Maybe you’ve put something in the basket and then wondered, “What did I just do. I want to go get it back!” For sure, we’re glad that a camera is not fixed on us when we give. We’re even more glad that no one can read our thoughts when we give. Giving. When I teach in a clear, direct, pointed ...read more

    I’m going to say something that may shock you out of your socks: Jesus had to deal with homosexual temptation. How I can say that? It’s simple. Jesus dealt with EVERY kind of temptation.

    INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles to Romans 1:18. Today I am going to address the issue of homosexuality. After I preached this in the last two services, I was amazed at how quiet everyone has been.
