Giving generously, beyond a tithe, is promoted by Jesus. In fact, He absolutely promises that if we give generously we will receive abundantly, even beyond measure.

Faith That Worships Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 31, 2026

When life feels confusing and God’s ways seem hidden, faith learns to stop demanding answers and instead bows in reverent worship—trusting God’s sovereign power, choosing joy before deliverance, and resting in Him alone as its strength.

Living by Faith When Life Doesn’t Make Sense Faith that Worships Habakkuk 3:1-3:19 Last week we left the prophet Habakkuk standing watch upon the city wall—listening as the Lord answered his second complaint. God had already responded to Habakkuk’s first cry by revealing a difficult and ...read more

I Am Faithful Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 16, 2018

We may lose our health … our job … our friends … but we will never lose God. He will never leave us nor forsake us. “I will love with an everlasting love,” He promises (Jeremiah 31:3). “I the Lord do not change,” God promises" in Malachi 3:6.

I make promises all the time … and I always intend on keeping them every time I make them. But you know what? I don’t always keep them … not all of them … try as hard as I might. I’m going to let you down sometimes … disappoint you .. if I haven’t already. I’m gonna break a promise. But guess ...read more

Faithful Followers

Contributed by David Roth on Jan 24, 2015

Epiphany 3.. Jesus call to us creates the faith to follow Him. Following Jesus is our faith in action. As followers we are not in charge, and cannot see the future. We follow Christ because we trust Him with our lives now and in His kingdom forever.

Mark 1:14-20 “Faithful Followers” J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Faithful Followers” Last week we read in the Gospel of John how Jesus had begun to call his ...read more

Story Of Faith

Contributed by Joe Mack Cherry on Aug 20, 2015

A Christian's life is based on faith. Even the Apostles lacked it at times. This is hard to understand since they were eyewitnesses. We all have evidence that Jesus works in our lives today so when our faith is weak we are no different than them!

Story of Faith I. Matt. 14:22-33/Mk. 6:30-52/Luke 9:10-17/Jo. 6:1-15 A. Prelude to The Story 1. Prior to Jesus coming to His own hometown Mark tells us He had cast out the demon, Legion and raised a little girl from the dead. Upon arrival to Nazareth He teaches in the ...read more

The Danger Of A "Good Enough" Faith

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 28, 2011

This message focuses on the abundance that Christ wants to do through His servants and the "good enough" mentality of many people claiming faith. It focuses on the verse speaking of "everyone who has will be given more."

What This Is NOT Saying: “Jesus is a reverse Robin Hood” – because this is not about our money, but our responsibilities. - Luke 19:13, 16, 18, 24. - v. 24 makes the master (i.e. Jesus) sound like a reverse Robin Hood, taking from the poor and giving to the rich. - vv. 13, 16, ...read more

"The Intersection Of Faith And Doubt"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2016

We know from previous passages of scripture that Jesus had given them the authority to heal and they had been successful many times. But this time they seem to be in over their heads. They pray and nothing happens.

"The Intersection of Faith and Doubt" Mark 9:14-24 We find in the scripture that nearly 40 times Jesus performed an act of healing. Water to wine. Fed 5000 without very little food. He healed the blind, the deaf; the lame. And the reason was simple: it was never just about the healing…it was ...read more

Advent Week 1 - A Child Is Born A Son Is Given Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 3, 2020

Recently I have been fascinated listening to the testimonies of Jews who have come to know Jesus as their Savior. Isaiah 9:6 speaks of Jesus but the Jews claim that it is about Hezekiah. Is there a connection between Isaiah 9 and the New Testament?

A Child Is Born and A Son Is Given Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

Shall I Not Drink The Cup The Father Has Given Me?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 26, 2013

Jesus faced his cup of suffering willingly. God had a plan and Jesus, as difficult as it was, was willing to carry it out. Jesus needed to teach this lesson to Peter and it's a good lesson for us as well. Are we willing to 'drink our cup'?

“SHALL I NOT DRINK THE CUP THE FATHER HAS GIVEN ME?” John 18:1-14 1) Agony in the garden (vs. 1). John’s gospel doesn’t mention anything about the events that took place in the Garden of Gethsemane before Judas showed up. It’s important to look at what Jesus dealt ...read more

Passing On The Faith

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 16, 2014

Moses reiterated God's commands and recalled the stories of God's works to the new generation. We are called to share our faith journey. Obedience to God's Word brings His blessings. Obedience is a blessing.

Pass on the faith, because that’s how we pass on God’s blessings. The best gift we can give someone is to pass on our faith, to help someone put their faith in God and walk in His ways. • This is probably the greatest and most lasting blessing we can give ...read more
