Over the last few weeks we have seen that: First we were created for God’s pleasure- we were designed to be in relationship with God. Second- we were formed for God’s family- and as a result God desires to place ...read more

    The way we work reveals the true God we believe in - either the god of mammon or the Lord God and His Son Jesus Christ. Our witness for Jesus Christ is either helped or hindered by what we do at our place of employment. This sermon is about effective wit

    A relationship with God is a long term commitment and dependent upon obedience to His will. Christians are therefore saved to serve God. This lesson looks at Christian service from a comprehensive biblical perspective.

    Saved To Serve A few months ago, we looked at how to develop a relationship with God. We learned that only the obedient know Him (1 John 2:4); love Him (John 14:23-24); are His friends (John 15:14); and of His family (Matthew 12:50). We looked at the importance of obedience to God as it relates ...read more

    What is delight for you?

    What is delight for you? How much of ourselves do we want to surrender to our Lord Jesus Christ? I’ve always questioned myself about my abilities; my aptitude and heart to serve.

    Paul had experienced much success in ministry, and yet he knew he had not arrived. He resolved to release the past, embrace the present, and anticipate the future. We must continue to seek all the Lord has for us. We cannot be complacent or satisfied.

    Committed to Serve Philippians 3:12-16 As you study the life of Paul, you realize the opportunities he once enjoyed. As far as men were concerned, Paul once had it all – power, position, and prestige. He was a rising star with a bright future within the religious elite in Jerusalem. All of ...read more
