Working Together With Our Spiritual Gifts

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jan 23, 2016

We need to be connected to a church family so that we can fulfill our calling to serve other believers in practical ways. We need the church and the church needs us. There are no insignificant roles to play in either the church or the body of believers.

Do you know that you have spiritual gifts from God? That’s right. Each and every one of us has spiritual gifts from God. These gifts come in many different forms. Some are greater than others, but they are equally important. Each gift is essential for the benefit of all believers. The danger ...read more

Worship Jesus Only

Is Faith A Force, Tool, Power, Or?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 29, 2019

One of the biggest errors that have crept into the church over the years has been the teaching that ‘faith’ is a thing, power, or force to obtain or possess.

Many believe that if a person can conjure up enough ‘faith,’ they can be healed of any ailment, declare things into existence, and receive all the money they could ever want. Conversely, it is believed that if a person is not healed or has little money, they lack in personal faith. Most believe ...read more

Show Grace To Mean, Evil People (Titus 3:1-8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 10, 2022

Titus 3:4-5 are rightly celebrated, but in a way that usually misses Paul's point. Show grace to mean people, recognizing that those people are like you used to be, before God washed you and gave you his Spirit.

Especially when you're a fringe religious group, but probably always, it's important to live in a ...read more
