Labor Day 2013

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 5, 2013

Urgency

Contributed by David Spiegel on Mar 6, 2015

The signs of the times are evident. Where is the sense of Urgency that the church should have? Jesus said He is not willing that any should perish, so why are we so comfortable with the idea? Shouldn't we be about the family business of making disciples?

Make no mistake, we have an “urgency emergency”! I wish I could stand here this morning and say, “Everything is alright”. You can just coast through this life and enjoy it as you live to a ripe old age and be gently laid to rest among family and friends as angels carry you ...read more

Gifts Are Not Just For Collecting... They Are For Using!

Contributed by Julie Marxhausen on Feb 29, 2016

This speaks of spiritual gifts and the privilege of using them rather than comparing them with others, wanting someone else's gifts, or choosing not to use them.

How many of you ever get gifts? Do you open them? Weird question! Right? Of course we open gifts we receive. Who would leave gifts unopened? Hopefully we all get some really neat gifts from time to time, but I’ll guess, some of you get gifts that aren’t “all that.” ...read more

Wanting, Waiting, Working

Contributed by Greg Nance on Aug 9, 2011

These three areas are so basic to our lives and determine our destiny. God's word shows us how important these are on just about every page of scripture.

Let's say the 23rd Psalm together. (The Lord is my Shepherd...) I heard about a preacher who asked if any of the children could come up and say the 23rd Psalm.
