    Now’s The Time To Serve

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,653 views

    Too many believers are waiting for the perfect scenario before they will serve the Lord. It’s an excuse that is often used for idleness and spiritual inactivity - the excuse that it’s not an ideal time or situation in which to serve.

    There is no ideal place to serve God except the place where He has set you down. - Eric Alexander(1) The Lord wants us to bloom where we’re planted, and to serve Him faithfully right where we are. He doesn’t want us to sit around waiting for the “perfect situation” before we serve Him. If we ...read more

    How Should We Serve The Lord?

     | 3,107 views

    In the verse of scripture that I read to you, it states something that I wish could be true of every Christian.

    Look at this verse again. We read, “For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God.” GOD SAVES US FOR TWO REASONS: (1) He does not want us to perish. John 3:16 makes that clear. We read, “For God so ...read more

    "ordinary People For An Extraordinary Calling" Series

     | 5,986 views

    Jesus rarely calls the famous, the powerful, the influential, or the religious groups to preach the Gospel. He works best with those who feel that that have nothing to offer Him but follow and obey Him anyway.

    The message of Jesus has not changed in over two thousand years. He still tells those with ears to hear to repent and believe in the Gospel. In His early ministry, He preached in His hometown synagogue and nearly got Himself killed as a result (Luke 4:16-30). Wherever Jesus went, He either ...read more

    Holes. Gaps. Stretched. Should this be the case? We are gifted to help. We are needed. We are the answer to an age-old problem.

    A Head Table Mentality Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,187 views

    A leader is not automatically the honored guest. He or she must take the lowest seat at the table and learn to serve others. Only then, will Jesus move that person higher. If someone grabs the best seat, he or she will be moved lower.

    This evening’s message is entitled “A Head Table Mentality,” and it’s taken from a parable that discusses the valued position of the meek and lowly. This parable promotes Christ-like leadership over the worldly model of leadership in which power and control seems to be the normal style. Kenneth ...read more

    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,757 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more
