The Heart Of A Servant Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 2, 2006

We as humans struggle with serving anyone but ourselves. Even as Christians we have a hard time having a true servant’s heart. Jesus shares some hard words, but they are also comforting and freeing when we realize the joys of being a servant.

Let’s face it. We don’t really like being servants. We don’t like to serve others and we don’t like to be under another’s authority. For us in the U.S. much of that stems from the 1960’s when everyone was told to question authority. We were told that anyone over 30 was the enemy. Now no one born ...read more

Support

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Jan 25, 2005

In chapter nine Paul deals with those who invoke the principle of Christian liberty. He points out that there are many things that he is free to do but which he abstains from doing for the sake of the Church. He is well aware of Christian freedom, but equ

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: In the summer of 1986, two ships collided in the Black Sea off the coast of Russia. Hundreds of passengers died as they were hurled into the icy waters below. News of the disaster was further darkened when an investigation revealed the cause of the accident. It wasn’t a ...read more

"Working With Jesus"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Jun 30, 2010

When we leave everything that hinders in order to work with God in the great harvest field, we are set free to be truly human, and find ourselves filled with such love for our fellow human beings that we can hardly contain it nor comprehend it!!!

“Working with Jesus” Luke 10:1-9 Think of your favorite writer, or perhaps your favorite musician or artist. Or how about your favorite historical figure. Perhaps it is one of our founding fathers. Or imagine the President of the United States… Anyone of ...read more

An Easter Exodus

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 18, 2011

Jesus came to set people free, and His death and resurrection provided for that. I’d like to look at some parallels between God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt and how He delivers us from bondage in our lives.

An Easter Exodus Matthew 11:28 Intro: Nearly every Easter I make it a point to take another look at why I believe in the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. And as I look at my own spiritual journey over the years, I can identify several pieces of evidence that have strengthened my belief that ...read more

Two Masters, One Heart Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 9, 2015

Theme: worry as it relates to money. God wants us to trust Him and follow Him rather than trading the gift of relationship for what we can acquire on this earth. God wants us to discover the worry-free treasure of loving and trusting Him.

Two Masters, One Heart Matthew 6:22-34 Intro: “I have a mountain of credit card debt”, one man told another. “I have lost my job. My car is being repossessed and our house is in foreclosure, but I am not worried about it”, exclaimed his friend. “No, I’ve hired ...read more

Jewels Of Rules Series

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Jun 2, 2020

One of the first benefits we obtained in the Garden of Eden was life itself. But, even better... the promise of never dying, actually... as long as we followed one simple rule. See... God set into motion man's Free-Will...

It is a rare person who does not like benefits. The working we do, the toiling we face, and the utter anguish we endure are all resolved when benefits follow closely behind. You may know that ‘benefits‘ is generally described as, “something that is advantageous or good.” Sometimes, even having an ...read more

Step Five - Go Tell It On The Mountain Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 8, 2020

Confession is good for the soul we are told bu if you have never done a fifth or haven’t done one in a while, How free do you want a be? How strong do you want to become? How is it with your soul?

In the scriptures we heard earlier, James was trying in his own way to provide advice to a set of new Christian Churches after his step brother, Jesus’ resurrection. The Way, as the early Christian movement was called to try and enlighten new Christians but also to manage and lead a whole new set ...read more

Celebrating God Everyday

Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Jan 27, 2019

Celebrating God should not be a give and take practice with God, but it should be done unconditionally. When Paul and Silas praised God in prison, they have no clue what was about to happen in their life, but God set them free miraculously (Acts 16:25-34).

It is a great joy for people to celebrate special occasions in their life. People celebrates birthday, wedding, graduation, new job, promotion, new baby, house warming, new appointment, many more. Do you know that God himself delights in celebration. In the book of exodus 12:14 God gave instruction ...read more

Jochebed, A Great Mother Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Is motherhood all sacrifice and no reward? No, for nothing done in God’s will is without its reward. This just shows us the humor of God, for out of Pharaoh’s treasury is coming the support for the child who will one day set His people free.

Mother had worked hard with her little girl in teaching her a part for a church program. The little girl had gone over it again and again, but when she stood up in front of people her mouth went dry and her mind went blank. She did not know what to say. Her mother sat in the front and tried to ...read more

The Grace Of God

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Mar 15, 2023

Grace will set you free from the tyranny of other people. Some of you are prisoners to other people's foolish opinions, their unreasonable demands, their domination and manipulation of your life. Quit trying to please the tyrants who are trying to control you.

Conquering The Giants In Our Lives

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Feb 3, 2021

Like the ancient Israelites, we have been set free from the slavery of sin and now are heading to the Promised "Land." We face various "giants" of problems personally, in the family, and from society against biblical truth.

The Jews were staying in Egypt for 430 years. In the last two hundred years, they were enslaved by the Egyptians. God sent Moses to deliver them from slavery and entered the Promised Land. Before they entered it, in verses 1 and 2, God gave the command through Moses to send twelve men, one from ...read more

When Jesus Came To Church

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2017

Mark records what happened when Jesus came to church. The normal order was interrupted, the people were amazed, the forces of evil were disturbed, and the oppressed were set free. The same thing should happen today when Jesus comes to Church!

WHEN JESUS CAME TO CHURCH Mk. 1:21-28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: FAITH BETTER THAN ATHEISM 1. I read about a rabbi who was sitting next to an atheist on an airplane. Every few minutes, one of the rabbi’s children or grandchildren would inquire about his needs for food, drink, or comfort. 2. The ...read more

Christian Freedom

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 18, 2019

Are we truly free or still in bondage? Let’s learn that being saved from sickness and bondage to vain traditions are somewhat similar. Let’s discuss healing, slavery to man-made religious rules and freedom in Luke 13:10-17.

There Is Therefore Series

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on Nov 20, 2024

Condemnation and guilt often keep many believers in bondage to sin. Unbelief in God's word holds us out of our rest in God. We have died and Christ is now our life and we are forever free from condemnation.

There is Therefore Through certain experiences in my life, I constantly felt guilty and therefore condemned myself. I felt inferior to others and I felt that there were perfect and able people who could be ministers of God. I was not good enough. The very word condemnation means you are written ...read more
