    Imagine the transformation in a community when the Church embraces Jesus' call toward giving to the needy out of the overflow of our hearts. Today's message explores Matthew 6:1-4.

    A Changed Church • Matthew 6:1, 2-4 OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Acts 4… In today’s world, charity is practiced on a wide scale and is thought often times to be the natural product of the intrinsic goodness of the human spirit… or in light of the New Age concept of Karma – ...read more

    Gentleness & Goodness Series

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jul 20, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,166 views

    We live in a ‘dog-eat-dog’ world. There is not even much gentleness or goodness where you might expect to find it: nurses and doctors have become preoccupied with lawsuits and their paychecks, homes are toxic environments, and churches are full of bitter

    Do gentleness and goodness seem like qualities on the top of many lists? What do these words mean to you? For some, it might mean being a push-over or a marshmallow… to others, it might be a coveted virtue. Needless to say, these character traits are as scarce as water in a summer Arizona ...read more

    Stand Up

     | 7,246 views

    Trials are a common part of the Christian life, but not one that we should allow to rule us. This portion of Thessalonians gives us insight into how we can stand up against the trials that come our way.

    Stand Up 1 Thessalonians 3:1-13 Intro Before a child can walk, he must learn to stand. Usually the father and mother teach the child to stand and then to walk. Paul was the “spiritual parent” to these believers, but he had been forced to leave Thessalonica. How, then, could he help these young ...read more

    Staying Connected

    Jesus says that it is not our "religious activity" that produces fruit, but our relationship with Him.

    I THINK MOST OF US WOULD AGREE THAT MINISTRY IS A VERY REWARDING PART OF OUR LIVES. ALL OF US “ADD TO” AND “ASSIST WITH” THE CHAPEL’S MINISTRY IN SOME FORM OR FASHION. HOWEVER, WHERE WE DIFFER IN OUR INVOLVEMENT RELATES TO WHY WE CHOOSE TO DO ALL THESE THINGS. FOR MOST, WE DO IT TO FURTHER THE ...read more

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Feb 15, 2017
     | 7,036 views

    The Church is seen as a treasure our Heavenly Father wants to present to His Son. To fill the treasure box Jesus came to buy us as pearls of great price. When the time is right to present the gift of the treasure it will be filled with pearls

    A buried treasure and a pricy pearl Matthew 13:44-46 44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. ...read more

    For The Remission Of Sins Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,345 views

    To clarify that the preposition “for” in the phrase” for the remission of sins" does not mean "because." The Greek word "eis" means “for, into, unto, or toward” in all reputable Greek-English New Testament Interlinear. To deny this truth is to reject the Scripture.

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. For the Remission of Sins Introductory Remarks. 1. In this lesson today, we will be discussing the theme: “For the Remission of Sins." This is the ninth lesson in the sermon series entitled: "Re-digging in Old Wells." There will be many others bearing this ...read more
