    The most basic essential for any healthy church is a commitment to hearing, learning, and applying God’s Word.

    Making an Impact: Instructing in God’s Word Since Bible is our “middle” name, I thought it would be a good idea to begin this morning with a little Bible quiz.

  • Cutting Through The Legalese Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 17, 2003
    based on 50 ratings
     | 5,994 views

    We look for loopholes in what God has called us to do, but the Bible calls us to a proactive lifestyle, it makes us face who we really are, and it calls us to accountability.

    Some of us love to take the simple and make it complex. Some of us thrive on taking perfectly obvious matters and making them as obscure as possible. My neighbor’s car has on it a bumper sticker that says, “Eschew obfuscation”. After about a half-hour with the dictionary, I found out that means, ...read more

     | 14,836 views

    Jabez is distinctly remembered, not for what he did, but for what he prayed. His prayer became the casting distinction in his life to remove him from causing pain to being blessed by the hand of God.

    The Prayer of Jabez Scripture Reference: 1 Chronicles 4:9 – 10 Where are you in your relationship with the Lord? Is there visible evidence that Christ is at work within you?
