    When I See The Blood

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 13, 2022
     | 1,512 views

    This is a call to Holy Living. So, what are we to do?

    For as much as ye know: • Peter is speaking of the work of God for our salvation. • We stood under judgment of God. • Ezekiel 18:4, Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. • That has not changed for God has not ...read more

    Are You Willing To Be Offered?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 19, 2022
     | 880 views

    We are to shine like lights in a shadowy world. And to do that, we may have to be offered up for the sake of others.

    In light of everything that Christ was willing to do for them, Philippians 2:12-18 explains how Christians ought to live. The directive to “work out” salvation is to let the new birth in Christ manifest itself in one’s actions. Believers should serve God without complaining or griping as part of ...read more

     | 1,167 views

    Paul has provided guidelines for how believers are to live in a sinful world.

    Paul provides guidelines for living as redeemed people in a fallen world, moving from the theological to the practical. We are to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to Christ, to follow the law, to love our neighbors, and to especially care for the faithless. In the Old Testament, priests had ...read more

    Do You Have Vision?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 26, 2022
     | 838 views

    Vision is both a physical necessity and a spiritual necessity. Lacking either one can be detrimental in our well being.

    In this verse, the prophets’ revelation is referred to as a vision. Crime and sin thrive in places where people are ignorant of God. Public morality is dependent not only on knowing about God but also on adhering to God’s laws. People must know God’s ways and follow His rules for both nations and ...read more

    Taking Inventory

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 26, 2022
     | 1,562 views

    The process of counting what a company has in its inventory is known as taking inventory. Can we apply this same process to our Christian walk?

    Taking Inventory of the Church: Paul is discussing a trip with Barnabas. Why did Paul take this second missionary journey and what was the purpose? Why would they want to go? Why should they? What has happened since his last visit? How many have been converted? He wants to go back and check on the ...read more

    This passage is the beginning of a "handbook" for the Christian disciple.

    7 Ones – Ephesians 4: 1 - 16 Intro: I found the following poem while researching this sermon. “One night, I had a wondrous dream; one set of footprints there was seen, the footprints of my precious Lord, but mine were not along the shore. But then some stranger prints appeared, and I asked the ...read more

    Do not be distracted in your spouse hunting. Seek Jesus and serve.

    1 Corinthians 7:32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 34 There is difference also between a ...read more

    We are living in an age and time in which this seems to be the theme; how to get more out of……

    They're showing how to get more oil out of an old well. They also advertise how to get more out of our water supply by using certain things. The same is true about our homes and cars always get more use out of what we have. Why should we as Christians not want to get more out of our churches ...read more

    Do We Have A Case Of Spiritual Blindness?

     | 1,070 views

    Spiritual eyesight is needed in our walk with the Lord. We should learn to see the spiritual dangers that are around us.

    2 Kings 8-23 tells the story of how Elisha captures an army. But what we will focus on today are verses fifteen - seventeen. Spiritual eyesight is needed in our walk with the Lord. We should learn to see the spiritual dangers that are around us. Elisha’s servant had woken up early and saw the ...read more

    Be Ready To Receive Help Series

    Jesus received people according to how they were convicted to serve Him. However, we as human beings often miss the bigger picture, and forfeit opportunities to assist people in being used by God to further the kingdom.

    I want to begin by sharing something from the apostle Paul. Paul, in speaking about what a person should give to the church in the way of monetary offerings; he once stated, “For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have” ...read more

    The disciples were tired and worn out from ministry; however, Jesus challenged them to put aside their own needs to love and serve others. As a result, the disciples were refreshed and strengthened in an unexpected manner.

    The apostle Paul once informed the believers of Galatia, “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’” ...read more

    Believers often get caught up in self-service instead of true service, being focused on seats of power. Jesus demonstrated a powerful act of servanthood that would stand as a reminder concerning genuine kingdom service.

    There once arose a dispute among the disciples, as to which of them should be considered the greatest (Luke 22:24). Jesus told them, “He who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is ...read more

     | 910 views

    How many Christians do not treat their faith in a serious manner or take it for granted? Many get up and go to work or school, but they did not find time to talk to God?

    How many Christians do not treat their faith in a serious manner or take it for granted? Many get up and go to work or school, but they did not find time to talk to God?
