    Our perspective is the lens at which we view life and most importantly God’s role in our life. God is good all the time. Too many Christians define God’s goodness by their circumstances rather than Who God actually is.

    Sermon. The Believers Perspective - Take The Long View Scripture - Habakkuk 1:1-6 “This is the message that the prophet Habakkuk received in a vision. How long, O Lord, must I call for help?

    We do good because we have been made good. We do good because it is God's purpose for us. We do good because it is a way of life.

    2:10 “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” We are God’s handiwork. He made us perfect, but we spoilt it because of sin, and He took steps to restore us again. • You can say He created us, ...read more

    How God Defines Greatness (1 Samuel 18:5-16)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 27, 2024
     | 801 views

    The world defines greatness in terms of achievements and deeds, celebrated today and forgotten tomorrow. God defines greatness as how one lives his life. We see this in David as he continued to follow the will of the LORD.

    Greatness, according to the world's standards, is measured by things such as achievements, status, education, wealth, and individual or corporate contributions to society. While these traits are admirable, they can also be a source of pride, selfishness, self-centeredness, and arrogance. ...read more

    This message looks at how one mistake defines the life of Uzziah rather than the good he did.

    An Epitaph is a short statement intended to honor a person who has passed away. Many times these short statements sum up a person’s life or legacy. In fact some epitaphs are quite humorous such as: “I told you I was sick!” “He stepped on the gas instead of the brake.” ...read more
