    Jesus, having talked about money and our need not to serve money, now tells us not to be anxious. One great source of anxiety is material anxiety, anxiety over possessions, and provision. However, if we serve God, we have no cause to worry.

    The place of service is a place of honour, blessings, and spiritual fulfilment. God does not call people to sit on the sidelines; He calls them to serve. Whether in the church, in our communities, or in our daily lives, we must be willing to serve with humility, diligence, and commitment.

    Both A Slave And Free

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 5, 2025
     | 183 views

    We all want freedom, but in reality, we all serve a master. We are either God's servants or slaves to our sin. Join us this morning as we dig into Romans 6, and Paul's call to serve the Lord.

    Both a Slave and Free GOOD MORNING. Words can be a problem. They don’t always convey exactly what you are thinking, and that’s one reason Jesus uses parables to teach concepts and ideas rather than just saying words. Not only does it stick better, but it conveys feeling that goes beyond the words ...read more
