Doing Good

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 28, 2012

Galatians has a word or two on good deeds that sound a lot like the message of James. While James doesn't focus on the Spirit, and Paul centers there, the echoes of the faith are heard in both. It is impressive to note the parallels.

Last week we finished our study in the book of James. James was all about words and works of the faithful Christian. Our walk and our talk express our faith and our relationship with God. Just as faith without works is dead, James 2:26, James makes it clear that claiming to be religious without ...read more

Doing It Right Series

Sometimes people try to accomplish good goals through unrighteous ways. That’s what Naomi proposed to Ruth, and which Ruth complied with. How did Boaz respond to what amounted to an “Indecent Proposal?” Join us this Sunday to see how a godly person should respond in a compromising situation.

Do Not Be In A Hurry

Contributed by Simeon Bali on May 29, 2020

All of us one time or the other have prayed and asked God for something and have had to wait on the answer. Waiting is one of life's most difficult tasks. The waiting room is a land where time stands still; it seems as if progress has come to a screeching halt.

We live in a society where everything is instant. We have become a society where delays are not accepted or tolerated. (We wait when in hospital, on ATM machine etc) Most of us are waiting for something and it could be; 1. Waiting and hoping that conditions will change for the better. 2. Maybe ...read more

Do Everything Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Feb 24, 2020

We all struggle with a "dual nature." We sort of like Bannon/The Hulk from the movies and comic books. It doesn't take much to move us away from Christ-likeness to self-interest and rebellion.

Do Not Be A Cino

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 12, 2018

Being a RINO or DINO will mess up your life, but being a CINO will destroy your eternity.

As I read Catholic and Evangelical leaders trying to "exhort" their congregants to vote against Pro-Abortion candidates, I wonder if they have figured out that many will turn a deaf ear. Just as we have RINOs and DINOS we have RCINOs, BINOs, PINOs, LINOs, etc. To simplify it, CINOs or ...read more

Called To Do Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 9, 2019

There's a difference between church people who are "hearers" and those who are "doers." Do you know the difference? And do you know how to tell which group you're in?

OPEN: I read once about a certain Chinese church, where – when converts were baptized for the forgiveness of sins – when they came up out of the water they were told: “Now, Jesus has new eyes. And Jesus has new hands. And Jesus has new feet.” When we became Christians, we became the eyes and ...read more

Do Not Neglect

Contributed by Don Baggett on Jan 20, 2020

Nothing compares to our relationship with God, yet many choose to neglect it. This text reminds us that there is no escape for those who make that choice.

The book of Hebrews is different from many of the other letters of the New Testament, in that there is really no salutation. In most letters the writer will be identified right up front, and in this letter the writer is never identified; but, what we know is that ultimately, the writer of this book ...read more

Listening And Doing

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 26, 2020

Acting on faith waters faith. Listening to sermons and reading the Bible and doing nothing in response leads to...nothing. God wants way more than nothing for His people. So He's given us the gift and calling of being doers of the Word and not only hearers.

Sermon for January 26, 2020 - Listening and Doing [I am thankful to William Barclay's exposition of James chapter 1, which influences much of this message directly and indirectly.] Did you know that God truly cares about every aspect of your life? Sometimes people say that God is too big or ...read more

Doing Good Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

Paul says there are two kinds of seeds we sow in life. There are the seeds of self-indulgence which please the sinful nature, and there are the seeds of doing good to others which please the Spirit.

In the spring of 1897, Thomas Hanna, a 25 year old Baptist pastor fell out of his carriage and landed on his head. When he woke up he was in a state of total amnesia. Dr. Boris Sidis and his assistant Dr. Goodhert had to teach him to talk, to eat, and to go to the bathroom as if he were a child. ...read more
