    Faith, above all, is a gift of God. Now it’s a gift that he pours out liberally on all humans, but it will not save our souls unless we cooperate with it.

    The Heart Of A Servant

    Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 9, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,104 views

    Good morning church! I want to explore the valuable lessons on having a servant's heart that we can learn from 1 Timothy 6:11-12. As we look into this passage, let us be inspired by the example of the apostle Paul and reflect on how we can cultivate the heart of a true servant in our own lives.

    Point 1: Pursue Righteousness (1 Timothy 6:11a) A servant's heart is rooted in a deep desire to pursue righteousness. It involves a deliberate choice to walk in obedience to God's commands and live a life that aligns with His will. Proverbs 21:21 - "He that followeth after ...read more

    The air of Egypt, and, even more, that of the desert, was favorable to longevity. The Egyptian monuments show many cases of officials actively employed after they were a hundred years old.

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 3, 2022
     | 947 views

    Believers are urged not to sin, but if they do, they have an advocate with God the Father. Believers are told to have love for one another, thereby showing that they are followers of Christ.

    In verses 1-2: John is at this point an extremely elderly person. He has spent practically each of his years in the service of the Lord, and a considerable amount of his readers were for sure his spiritual youngsters. John utilizes the phrase “little children” in a warm, paternal way. He is not ...read more

    What is in store for us during the 1,000 year reign?

    Men down through the ages have dreamed and planned for a golden age of perfect life. I contend that the scriptures have much to say about this golden age.

     | 304 views

    The Son of God was divine already, but He thought it unfair to glom onto that identity. He became the face of the divine compassion and enduring love, God’s hesed, by emptying Himself of all His divine glory, all His divine dignity.

    Palm/Passion Sunday The critical reading we are given from Scripture today is not one of the two Gospels, not the triumphant Palm Sunday story of Christ’s entry to Jerusalem and not the story of the Last Supper, Passion and death of Our Lord.
