    Jesus And Giving Series

    Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Nov 11, 2020
     | 2,825 views

    Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

    Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

    The Macedonians plead with Paul for a chance to share financially. What creates that kind of a heart?

    - Skit: Guy shows up who has traveled back in time. Offers second guy a chance to buy Apple stock the day before the company starts.

    Childlike Faith

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 7, 2018
    based on 5 ratings
     | 22,383 views

    Jesus calls us to become like a little child if we ever hope to enter the kingdom of God. We must have faith like a little child, become dependent like a little child, and receive the kingdom as a gift of God.

    Childlike Faith Mark 10:13-16 Have you ever known someone who refused to grow up? Kind of like when Tom Hanks played a kid in the 1988 movie, “Big”? Except sometimes, it’s not so cute, when adults act childish. Sometimes adults forget those key lessons from kindergarten, like learning how to share ...read more

     | 1,017 views

    His sacrifice of thanksgiving meant that he wanted everything about his new life to be an expression of thanks for all the Lord had done for him.

    In our Thanksgiving series this month, we have been studying from the book of Psalms, chapter 116. We heard about the foundation of thanks which is the grace of God and about the overflow of thankfulness, which comes from receiving all that God has for you.

    This is the message delivered to a relatively large congregation present to honour a godly woman who recently died.

For surely it is not ...read more
