    We often can feel inadequate and ill-prepared to witness our faith, and to share God's Word with others. However, like the prophet Isaiah, God has prepared us through our life experiences and His Word. He has forgiven us, and He has sent us.

    “I know just the right person for the job!” This is a phrase that we can be very familiar with in our lives. It is one that we heard with the elections, as people told us whom they taught were the best candidates. It is a phrase we may hear at work as we suggest people for vacant positions. It ...read more

    May God grant us the courage and willingness to exalt Christ in life and in death!

    There’s no such thing as a sure thing.” That statement brings out the blatant skepticism inherent to the human nature. Whether you’re dealing with the stock market or simply perusing the coupons in the Sunday paper, people are cautious to jump at something. After all, if it seems too good to be ...read more

    In order to serve according to our giftedness, we must make sure that we not only understand spiritual gifts, we must discover, develop and deploy our gift mix. Since ignorance about this topic may be a chief cause of retarded spiritual growth, it’s impe

    Sloth is more than laziness. It is lack of working for the betterment of the community: both the community of the body of Christ and the community at large. Basically, it is the failure to make a contribution to make the lives of people around you better.

They are deadly practices and lifestyles because they lead us to destruction and trash the community formed in Jesus. And this one is no different: sloth. Sloth is more than laziness. It is ...read more

    Life is about choices. Parable of the Talents is explored considering such issues as the fairness of each receiving a different amount, the importance of freewill, and personal accountability.

    What’s Life All About? Matthew 25:14-30[1] 3-1-09 Jesus had an awesome ability to speak volumes in a simple story. He revealed the heart of God by telling the story of the Prodigal Son.

    Let us all take out our towels from our drawers and kneel down before others, and serve them as Jesus serves us, by loving them unto the end. Let us each serve our Lord, by serving all people, in the grace of God’s ultimate and sacrificial love.

    INTRO One of the neatest gifts I’ve ever received was this little, hand towel. I was given this during my seminary commencement, and have cherished it ever since. The towel has a little saying on it: “Blessed to be a blessing” Isaiah 61:1. Isaiah 61:1-2 says: “The ...read more

     | 12,045 views

    That dash between your birthdate and your day of death seems so little and insignificant on the tombstone. All that one does during the "dash" is what counts for eternity. Fill that space with a life dedicated to God and His kingdom.
