    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,878 views

    God’s answer to the question: "Who is my neighbor?" often leaves us asking for option "B".

    Today’s question from the Word of God is: Who is your neighbor? I would have to guess that this Scripture is the second most known story that Jesus ever told ... the story of the Good Samaritan. READ vv. 25-29 A Good Question And An Unexpected Answer That’s a good question. People ask questions ...read more

    An Offering Given In Purity Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 15, 2021
     | 2,805 views

    Every believer ought to be a philanthropist in that they seek the welfare of those around them. That is not to say that we support ungodly behavior, but that we seek to assist those in need.

    An Offering Given in Purity Matthew 6: 1-4 Today we begin a new chapter in our study of the Sermon on the Mount, but it is just a continuation of what we have studied in the past. We are still dealing with the message Jesus preached to the multitudes. His focus has shifted somewhat, but He ...read more

    Emphasize the boundless love and compassion of Jesus Christ for all people and the importance of spreading the Gospel as His followers.

    Good morning, Church family! Today we're going to dive into a passage from the book of Matthew. A.W. Tozer wrote, "God's love is measureless. It is more: it is boundless. It has no bounds because it is not a thing but a facet of the essential nature of God." That's what we're going to see today – ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,432 views

    Our world is becoming a more hate-filled place, where people have less empathy and compassion for others. In contrast to that, the people of God are called to live lives of love, empathy and compassion, because God has loved us and poured His love into our hearts.

    A. One day a man was crossing the street to visit his neighbor. 1. As he started to cross the street, a car was bearing down on him, so he stopped and backed up to the curb. 2. The car stopped, so he started to cross, and the car started to move toward him. 3. The man changed direction and went ...read more

     | 7,254 views

    Using texts from 1 Corintians 3:1-6, and 2 Corinthians 9:8-11, this message contrasts graceless behavior with that of a "Grace-giver."

    How to be a Grace-Giver 1 Cor.3:1-6, 2 Cor. 9:8-11 Intro: “Grace moments”, if we think hard enough we can remember some of them. These are the times when we either received grace from some gracious person, known or unknown, or times when we extended grace to others. I remember a ...read more

    The Kind Of Religion We Should Lose

     | 2,315 views

    Sometimes we hear people say, “I am about to lose my religion.” Well, there is at least one kind of religion that would be good for people to lose.

    The book of James speaks about such a religion. It is called the religion of DEAD FAITH. James evidently had some in his congregation who should have lost their religion. The book of James is living proof that our circumstances change but mankind never changes. We have evidences of that today ...read more

     | 6,463 views

    Who has influenced your life? Would you agree that we are in need of those who can and do make a significant impact on others for the cause of Christ? Our current society needs those of influence.

    The Steps of a Good Man 1 Thessalonians 2: 1-3 As we consider the social climate of our modern society, we would have to agree that we stand in desperate need of leadership. Things have certainly changed in recent years, and much of that change has not been for the better. There seems to be a ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,464 views

    Our Lord reframes an ancient code, moving it from passive compliance to active obedience. He calls us to go to practice an unselfish standard of fairness/righteousness. This is what He did. And this is what He empowers us to do.

     | 2,349 views

    This passage shares the account of a soldier; one who had enough faith to take Jesus at His word and receive an answer to His request. The centurion had great love for his servant and great faith that Jesus could heal his servant.

    I want to begin our message this morning with a sermon illustration: “It is said that Napoleon [Bonaparte], while looking at some papers, let slip the bridle of his horse, which reared [back] so that the emperor was in danger.
