    Spiritual maturity is a growth process, so we need to be willing to press on. Are you willing to press on? Are you willing to be single minded in becoming like Christ? You must press on in Christ.

    Illustration: Christian Pilgrimage One of the greatest Christian classics, maybe the greatest of all is John Bunyan’s Pilgrims Progress.

    To stay focused in life and do the work God has entrusted us, we must constantly pose the questions of purpose and priority. We must do what is needful, and make time for God in solitude.

    Mark 1:35-39 How to STAY FOCUSED in Life What prevents us from living our life to the fullest? Distractions. 1. We lost sense of our purpose in what we are doing - gotten into a rut and not fully aware of what we are really trying to achieve. 2. We lost touch with our priorities - not clear what ...read more

    Caring And Sharing

    This morning’s message is entitled “caring and sharing.” Often when we teach on the purpose and life of the church we speak about koinonia, which is a New Testament Greek word meaning “fellowship.” However, one pastor tells us “that koinonia means caring for the poor” and that “Christian ...read more
