Leave It All Behind

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Jul 7, 2020

Sometimes to be of service in the kingdom of God we must be willing to leave it all behind so the God's will is done in our life. He doesn't always take all but we must be willing to give up all if we are going to see God's will done.

Leave it all behind Genesis chapter 12 Introduction- Good morning, we have come together to worship and lift up the name of Jesus. May your heart and mind be open to hear what He has to say and may the loving grace of our Lord fill you with His presence and His compassion. This morning I want to ...read more

Zechariah #16: Superficial Religion Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 27, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 7:1-6 explores the issue of the inner motives behind our service to the Lord. How many people go to church, give their money, fast, etc. and are baffled by God's lack of response. Why is there so little power in the church? The text addresses all that.

Intro Our text today is in Zechariah 7. Last week we examined the capstone of the eight visions.i The crowning of Joshua, the High Priest, was a symbolic act prophesying Messiah. Unlike any other, Messiah would be both priest and king. All the promises of God are yea and amen in Him.ii The eight ...read more

Missions: A Wake-Up Call Series

Contributed by B. D. B Moses on Jul 1, 2002

As Paul rebuked Peter to his face, we sometimes need a challenge in Missions.

During the time of the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1979, Greg Livingstone was asked to give a “missions minute” at a large evangelical church on the East Coast. Since he had only one minute to speak, he decided to ask them only two questions. The first one was, “How many of you are praying for the ...read more

The Power Of Christian Community

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024

It’s easy to get proud. It’s easy to want to show off. It's too common in the church. Instead, let’s choose to be very humble, serving each other gently.

I’ve been wrestling with God lately on some things, battling depression, anxiety, even questioning God, his will and purposes. And I’m so grateful for my wife who has been there day in and day out challenging my poor thinking patterns. Reciting God’s word to me. She brings the truth up, and just ...read more

Disability: Care And Honour

Contributed by Minister Dachi on Oct 11, 2022

When the Lord God called Moses in the wilderness, Moses was reluctant at first to heed the call. In fact, he tried to use his disability to excuse himself from service: “Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent. . . . I am slow of speech and tongue’” ...

Disabled people are differently abled people who were also made or Created by the Lord for His glory. We see many disabled people in and around the society, in our families and even in the ministries that we have today with the different talents and abilities to support the families, ministries and ...read more

Christmas - When We Look At Jesus We See God

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 24, 2009

Short all-age talk for 2009 Christmas Eve services. Many people come from our community. Talk uses an illustration of how I as an earthly Dad might write a book for my children to get to know me better. God has given us a book, but also given us Jesus.

God couldn’t have made Himself bigger to impress us, so He made Himself smaller to attract us. Knock, knock! Who’s there? Wayne! Wayne who? A Wayne in a manger … Knock, knock! Who’s there? Hanna!

Walking Into Hell With Clean Feet

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 21, 2022

The last evening Jesus spent with His disciples (John 13-17) had Him showing the act of service towards others by washing their feet. Judas Iscariot's feet were cleaned as well, but his heart remained dirty and unresponsive to this final outreach of compassion as he planned Jesus' betrayal.

This year (2022) marks the fiftieth anniversary of the premiere of the film "A Thief in the Night", one of the first Christian films to present the subject of the last days and how it would impact life as we know it. The quality of the film is primitive by today's standards, but ...read more
