    Not Called To Just Cloister Or Cluster

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jul 5, 2022
     | 1,107 views

    We have been obsessed with ourselves too long and we wonder why the world is so dark.

    If the only ministry you do is in church, then you missed most of what ministry is about. True, we are to attend church consistently to learn how to do ministry and exhort one another. Still, our ministry is to be community and world focused. We come in to prepare and grow to go out. Indeed, ...read more

    Most of us can’t change ourselves. But God can change us, if we mean it.

    On the night before he was betrayed, Jesus washed his disciples feet. This was a menial task, a task performed only by the very lowest house slave. And his disciples were shocked. They weren’t objecting to having their feet washed - far from it. It was the sort of courtesy a good host would make ...read more

    God's Character

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 25, 2024
     | 1,042 views

    We can discern the voice of God in others and ourselves if it reveals and exemplifies God's character.

    For the past few weeks, we have been talking about trying to discern if what we are hearing and reading is truly coming from God. Now, I believe that God speaks to people. But I have to challenge some people when they declare that God told them something and I knew it wasn't right. Have you ...read more

    There is a blessing that comes out of our frustration when we give ourselves to something bigger than us.

    Psalm 31:14-15 TPT I’m desperate, Lord! I throw myself upon You, for You alone are my God! My life, my every moment, my destiny—it’s all in Your hands.

    The lives of Cain and Abel teach us some important lessons about ourselves and our spiritual lives.

    In the book of Genesis, we find the root and fruit of sin. The root of sin is disbelief and disobedience to God's commands. In Genesis 3, we see Eve doubting God's word and ultimately disobeying Him. In Genesis 4, we witness the consequences of sin through the lives of Cain and Abel. Children learn ...read more

    We take a candid look at our role as Innkeepers, the major excuses for turning Christ away, and the final journey we will all make to the Heavenly Inn. Will He be forced to turn us away because we wouldn't let Him in?

    A great start to obeying the Great Commandment is right where we live.

    We have taken the past three Sundays to think together about how we need to obey the Great Commission. Now today, I want us to think together about how we need to also take the Great Commandment seriously by taking it literally. What is the Great Commandment?

    God alone deserves the place of priority in our lives. And that means we can’t even put ourselves before Him. He has the place of priority. He comes first. This message talks about what it means to put God before ourselves.

    Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been going through our Canadian Idols series of messages. The first week we talked about what an idol is: it’s anything or anyone that takes the place of God in our lives. It’s whatever we place in that place of priority in our lives which pushes God aside.
