    Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 15, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,653 views

    As believers, we are called to live out our faith in practical ways, reflecting the character of Christ. In Colossians 3:12-13, the apostle Paul provides valuable guidance on how to exhibit Christian virtues such as compassion, kindness, and forgiveness.

    Point 1: Clothe Yourself with Compassion Cross-Reference: Ephesians 4:32 Compassion lies at the heart of the Christian ethic. Just as a person adorns themselves with clothing, we are called to clothe ourselves with compassion. Compassion enables us to empathize with others, sharing in their joys ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Eleven. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER ELEVEN OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is the story of the Tower of Babel is built and the linage up to Abram. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 11 Men begin to build the city and tower of Babel: God confounds their language: and disperses them over all the earth. ...read more

    The Power Of Love SermonCentral

    Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 8, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 695 views

    Winning over our friends, family, and neighbors to the Lord doesn't come from telling them to change their ways. It comes from following Jesus' command to love others as we love ourselves.

    How can we win over our friends, family, and neighbors to the Lord? It's not by pointing out their faults or telling them how to change their lives. Instead, it's by embodying what Jesus taught us: to love others as we love ourselves. Love is a powerful force that can transform lives. In 1 John ...read more

    Those who appreciate the depth of sin that God has forgiven in them will forgive others as well.

    This morning, we continue our journey through the parables of Christ. Parables, as I’ve noted before, are short and simple. They don’t have complex plots, or dozens of characters, like a Russian novel. You don’t need a Ph.D. in theology or Hebrew literature to understand them. And yet, despite ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,134 views

    Typically we see the cross from the viewpoint of the suffering of Jesus, this message invites the hearer to see that mission is a key part of the business of the cross.

    “The Business of the Cross” (Special thanks to Dr. Kent R. Hunter with David L. Bahn, Confessions of a Church Growth Enthusiast, (Corunna, IN: Church Growth Center, 1997 for many of the insights of this message) Romans 3:21-25a 3:21 But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been ...read more

    It is essential that Christians be unified if we are going to glorify Christ, build each other up and share his message with the world.

    Ephesians 2:13-22 July 13th, 2003 Restoring Unity in our Community! The Early New Testament church was known for its love. That’s why it grew so incredibly fast.

    We need relationships that mentor us into Christlikeness, but we also need to be a mentor for others.

    Imitators (1 Cor 4:16 NASB) I exhort you therefore, be imitators of me. (1 Cor 11:1 NASB) Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

    Laying Up Treasures

    Contributed by Paul George on Jun 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,557 views

    A preoccupation with hoarding earthly treasure makes little practical sense. Eternal investments, investments in the kingdom of heaven, are far more profitable. They are certain, and the benefits long lasting. Earthly investments are short-lived.

    Laying up Treasures Matthew 6:19-34 The Lord Jesus told the disciples, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do ...read more

    “Behold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you; I will save the lame, and gather those who were driven out; I will appoint them for praise and fame in every land where they were put to shame.” Zephaniah 3:19 Total turnaround for God’s glory is what you and I expect during this ...read more
