    A continuing look at our call to grow and accept God's plan to serve.

    Called to Serve August 29, 2020 As I was reading for this message, someone asked what the number 10 to the 2 trillion - 400 billionth power represents? I’m not sure that’s an actual number. But I did like the point they were trying to make, so I’ll go with it. Those are the odds of someone ever ...read more

    There is this big disconnect between loving the Lord and serving Him because many who say they love the Lord really don’t love Him. We will learn today that Jesus links together love and service.

    If one were to take a survey and ask Christians the question “Do you love the Lord” the results of the survey would probably indicate that 99.9% of all surveyed "loved the Lord." Most would even say they "loved the Lord a lot." If one were to survey these same people and ask ...read more

    As Jesus continued to provide instructions regarding the ministry He had called the disciples to engage, again He emphasized the difficulty they would encounter. Although this was a worthy task, with eternal implications, their opposition would be evident and extensive.

    Confident to Serve Matthew 10: 23-28 As we continue to study the conversation Jesus had with the disciples in order to prepare them for Kingdom ministry, again we find the Lord being totally honest with them about what to expect. While their task was certainly worthwhile, having eternal ...read more

    Jesus had revealed much about the difficulty and opposition the disciples would face as they sought to serve Him. Finally, He revealed their service would also require personal sacrifice - it would come at a cost.

    The Cost to Serve Matthew 10: 34-39 Jesus had revealed much to the disciples regarding what they could expect as they answered the call to proclaim the Good News. He warned that the task would not be easy, many would reject them, and they would face opposition along the way. However, in the midst ...read more

    There is a famine of the Word of God in our country and the people are hungry for the truth. Amos 8:11 “Look! The days are coming” declares the Lord God, “when I will send a famine throughout the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water— but rather a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

    2 Kings 4:38-41 (NKJV) Serve It Again October 03, 2010 We begin today with Elisha returning to Gilgal. Returning to his holy place where he was taught by his father in ministry Elijah. Returning to his element, among the sons of the prophets, teaching them, and, now as their father in ministry, ...read more

    What does Luke 10:17-24 mean? It cannot be taken literally. Understanding the metaphors and culture of Jesus' day explains everything. Going out to spread the Gospel is a major part of discipleship. When one is doing this Christ is with the person through the Holy Spirit

    If you want to serve God well, be ceaseless in your supplication, celebrate your salvation, continue in your sanctification, and conduct yourself in the Spirit’s power.

    A group of retired friends met every Saturday morning at a Salt Lake City deli, but they grew tired of the same conversation each week. Sure, they were solving the world’s problems, but they wanted to share their wisdom beyond their own group. So, as a lark, six years ago (2018), they set up a card ...read more

    Howard Ingram had an old saying, “Many Christians have just enough religion to make them miserable.” Serving God should be one of the greatest things in the world.

    Many Christians have a wrong idea, view, and attitude toward serving God. There are those today that do not love God’s service. It should be the greatest thrill and joy of our lives. John 15:16; tells us that we are chosen by God. Many, when talking or preaching about service, want to tune you ...read more
