Christian Compassion Believes The Best About The Worst

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 12, 2009

Delivered as if Ananias were telling his story about encountering Paul: The Spirit calls us to believe that others can be changed, that if we do not go to them the consequences are large, and that others need a human touch from us.

I had always prided myself on understanding people. I had always thought I knew enough about the human mind that I could predict what a man would be like on the basis of what he had always done. After all, if a person is a thief when he is a child, you expect that he will be a cheating thief when ...read more

The Journey Of Communion

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 3, 2015

Too often Communion is simply celebrated as a moment in time, right now. This message looks at how communion looks to yesterday, tomorrow and today.

The Gold Of Heaven

Contributed by Glenn Dale Pease on Aug 29, 2014

Every major kingdom in history, in an out of the Bible, was noted for it's abundance of gold. This is why the final kingdom of God's people is pictured as one of pure gold, for that has been the test of the glory of all the kingdoms in history.

For The Love Of Money?

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jul 29, 2019

Ever wonder at what line a Christian crosses that makes money a trap and sin in their spiritual walk with Jesus? In this sermon I am going to outline a basic truth: putting trust in money and wealth and not God is a sin.
