“Serving Jesus, Is It A Commitment or A Convenience?” (Matt 19:16; 21-24) Read passage Many today do not want to be totally committed to the Lord because it demands too much of them.

Shelter The Homeless

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 7, 2015

God asks us to give our lives to him and serve him by serving others. We say to them, “God loves you and so do I”. We can reduce poverty. On Judgment Day, we will be judged by how we lived our lives and whether or not we loved others like Christ loves us.

“I was homeless and you took me in…” As the worshipers arrived for church in a small town one Sunday morning, they were met by a rather disturbing sight. An apparently homeless beggar sat on the front steps of the church, wearing tattered clothing, a wool cap pulled down over his ...read more

What's The Difference?

Contributed by Tree Perkins on Sep 5, 2020

We've been taught since Sunday school that Jesus is with us and we carry Him in our heart. But Matthew 18:20 tells us that where two or three are gathered, Jesus will be among them. So what makes verse 20 different?

The last verse in our scripture reading today is my number one all-time favorite verse in the entire Bible. Verse 20 has brought me comfort over the years. Even though verse 20 is my favorite, it’s important to consider verse 19 as it sets the tone for the purpose of gathering in prayer. In vs. 19 ...read more

"satisfied"

Contributed by John Huyser on Oct 1, 2024

True satisfaction is hard to come by for believers and unbelievers alike. Why is that? The second portion of Ruth 2 highlights the importance of God-gifted community as a means of realizing satisfaction.

When it comes to Bible texts, one method of detecting the heart of the text is to look for word repetition. Word repetition often reinforces a theme not to be missed. For example, in today's text, we have four word repetitions: Gleaning and Satisfied along with Barley and Field. ...read more
