    based on 1 rating
     | 762 views

    Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Does my attitude reflect the mind of Christ? Or are my actions driven by selfish ambition, pride, or fear? Paul wrote in Philippians 2:5, “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.” These words are a call to radical transformation.

    Go! And… Have the Mind of Christ - Philippians 2:5 Philippians 2:5 (NLT) – “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.” Introduction Today, I want to speak directly to your heart about something that can transform not only your relationship with God but also how you walk in the ...read more

     | 158 views

    The Radical Call of the Gospel: This message is not about what the world teaches, but what Jesus demonstrates. The cross teaches us that mercy triumphs over judgment.

    Go! And Respond with Grace - Romans 12:17–21 Imagine standing at the foot of a beautiful mountain. The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle. Then, someone throws a stone at you. In that moment, your instinct is to throw it back. But what if, instead, you smiled, picked up the stone, and built a ...read more

    Emphasize the importance of understanding and embracing the cost of discipleship, which requires great commitment, sacrifice, and a willingness to listen and follow Jesus wholeheartedly.

    Good morning, family! Today, we're going to dive into the topic of the cost of discipleship. In the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die." Following Jesus is not an easy or comfortable path, but rather one that requires great commitment and sacrifice. Our ...read more

    12Therefore, do not let sin exercise dominion in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. 13No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as ...read more

    Love That Doesn't Fail Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jun 26, 2014
     | 6,048 views

    This is why Jesus made a sacrifice for you and me. Because he really loves us. A love that doesn't fail is a love that sacrifices. The world has no idea what this real love is, because the world is selfish.

    According to John those who say they love God show it by obeying the Word of God. There were those who were false teachers during John's day who claimed that they were apostles, too, just like John. There were others who claimed that Jesus wasn't really human, he didn't really suffer and die as a ...read more

    Building a culture of prayer

    Prayer is an essential part of our Christian race, since it has a pivotal role to play in the fulfilment of our destiny. The more we pray, the more we understand God's ways.

    It has grown increasingly more difficult to keep the world from influencing our families. What can we do to counter that influence?

    OPEN: A man was once hired to go and take a census in the hills of east Tennessee. He came to one ram-shackle home, knocked on the door and was greeted by a young girl.

    The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. How can we fight the temptation to misuse money?

    I discovered some fascinating statistics the other day. Did you know that out of 38 parables that Jesus told, 16 deal with money in some form or other? If you add up all the times that heaven and hell are mentioned, it comes to fewer times than money is mentioned. The New Testament says 5 times as ...read more

    Putting others before ourselves will bring us to our knees. Learning to give ourselves away is also the first step to a deeper experience of true joy.

    There is something that stirs deeply within us when a man or woman gives up their life for another. A few decades ago Roger Rosenblatt wrote a moving tribute in Time Magazine. It was about a passenger on Air Florida Flight 90 that crashed into the Potomac River. The nameless 50-some-year old man ...read more
