    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,652 views

    Christians are to display a willingness to be offended, disadvantaged, even abused without making a return, without requiring vengeance, without demanding an accounting – whether an apology, or punishment, or a repayment of some kind.

    This is one of the most encouraging messages you’ll hear. Today’s Big Idea: God Works Diligently on Our Behalf. Over the next few minutes, I want to tell you God serves His children. “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever ...read more

    Isaiah speaks to us in the exile of our fears, our anxieties, our worries, and he says, God is great--he is bigger than our problems. God is good--he is tuned into my concerns. And I can put all of my hope in the Lord, knowing he will come through.

    Keeping God in Proper Perspective Prophets with a Purpose – Week 4 - Isaiah 40:21-31 We are in week 4 of our series, “Prophets with a Purpose.” Today we’re returning to a prophet we looked at in December, because Isaiah had a lot to say about a coming Savior.

    Normally the King would lead the armies in battle. But instead, King David sends out Joab and he stays behind at the palace.

    The title of this message is “How to not be a man after God’s own heart.” So, if you want to follow God and love God and live for God, just do the opposite of everything in 2nd Samuel chapter 11.

    Through the husband and wife relationship Paul identifies the mysterious relationship that Christ has with His Church. As we enter into a passionate relationship with Christ, He will make us into a LOVING CHRUCH.

    I like the story about the legalistic Seminary student who wanted to have a scriptural basis for everything he did. He felt he was on solid ground if he could quote chapter & verse to okay all his actions. He was doing fine until he fell in love with a beautiful co-ed. He wanted very much to ...read more

     | 9,666 views

    When God works “in us” His cleansing, purifying work, then the truth of Jesus’ solutions for “unrighteous righteousness” will become reality. We must make sure the inner spiritual control center is fully complete – pure – and then the outer control cente

    UNRIGHTEOUS RIGHTEOUSNESS Matthew 6:1-24 Text: Matthew 6:1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness before people, to be seen by them; for if you do, you will have no reward from your Father Who is in heaven.” Unrighteous righteousness! This sounds like an oxymoron – two ...read more
