    Poor Naomi And Ruth

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jun 14, 2015
     | 11,748 views

    Destitute and broken people are those God seeks to save. Who but the poor in spirit are prepared to receive the King of kings and enter the kingdom of heaven?

    Last week we began a study of the book of Ruth. We went through chapter one where Naomi is the chief character. Naomi is married and has two sons. They live in the bread basket of Israel, Bethlehem, but a famine hits and Naomi’s husband moves his family to Moab where he and both his sons ...read more

    Forgiveness And Fathering

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jun 20, 2015
     | 5,554 views

    In light of the recent tragedy in South Carolina, I gave this message on Father's Day.

    1 Peter 4:1-19 (Read) What kind of people offer forgiveness to those who murder their family members? What motivates people to even consider forgiveness towards their enemies? Who has the influential power to cause this kind of response? Do we have that kind of faith? Do you? This week 21 ...read more

    When God Calls Series

     | 8,260 views

    Are we reluctant or willing when God commissions us? Jonah is a great study in God's heart verses our own when it comes to mercy and grace.

    Join me in a look at Jonah. 2 Kings 14: 23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years. 24 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam ...read more

    Where Is Your Commitment? Series

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 19, 2015
     | 8,390 views

    Zeal is great when it is directed by God. It can be very destructive when it is not.

    Where is your commitment? Let me begin with three illustrations. (Slide of picture of Howard Hughes in his youth) All he ever really wanted in life was more. He wanted more money, so he parlayed inherited wealth into a billion-dollar pile of assets. He wanted more fame, so he broke into the ...read more

    Over Committed! Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,872 views

    Are you too busy? What does God tell us about over commitment in Christian service?

    Last week we began a series of lessons on commitment, with the question: Where is your commitment? We ended that lesson looking at some of Jesus’s words from the sermon on the mount where Jesus tells us what to commit to and what not to commit to, what not to worry about and what to seek ...read more

    Earn This! Series

     | 4,470 views

    Aren't you glad God didn't say that to us? Let's look at some things God does say about earnings and some things he does not say.

    I never saw the movie, and frankly, I don’t intend to, but I read an article about it. There is a punch line in the movie: “Saving Private Ryan” that really brings home today’s point. (This illustration taken from Wikipedia's article on Saving Private Ryan) The sole ...read more

    Do Not Be Deceived! Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,987 views

    Deception is all around us. How do we overcome? James has great counsel from God to help us.

    Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren! These are the opening words of today’s text in James chapter 1:16. As I worked through this text over and over this week both to memorize it and to understand it, I realized that James speaks of being deceived three times here in the last part of ...read more

    How Faith Works Series

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 28, 2015
     | 7,801 views

    Paul and James agree. Faith works. How? Here's where we need both of these to help us understand.

    Romans 3:21-28 Ephesians 2:1-10 James 2:14-26 What is going on here? Are Paul and James contradicting one another? Does James hold a gospel that teaches justification by faith with works while Paul’s gospel teaches justification by faith without works? Because James is so strong on works ...read more

    Favoritism Vs Faith Series

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 28, 2015
     | 5,321 views

    Some things are inconsistent with faith in Jesus Christ. Playing favorites in church is sin, plain and simple.

    My brothers, show no favoritism as you hold your faith in the glorious Lord Jesus Christ. If a man wearing gold rings and fine clothes enters your assembly and also a poor man wearing ragged clothing enters, if you look at the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Sit here in a good ...read more

    Faith And Love James' Style

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 7, 2015
     | 3,396 views

    James has a lot to tell us about faith. His simple, straight forward message challenges us and instructs us in character building God's way. This is a summary of some of the things James tells us as we prepare to enter chapter three.

    The theme of James is captured in the first chapter, verses James 1:2-4 (read). He then discusses trials and faith throughout the rest of the letter. Some of these trials come from without, but some are as near as the members of our own bodies, i.e. our tongues. Someone pointed out that James ...read more

    Those Gentiles!

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 27, 2013
     | 3,877 views

    We Gentiles have been granted repentance by God. This gift is of greater worth than anything this world has to offer. The early church was not excited to open the door of faith to us. What then shall be our response to God's gift of grace?

    What to do with those Gentiles!? Acts 11 records when the doors of the church swung wide open to every nation and Peter was called on the carpet for taking the first steps. We look at this today and wonder how they could have missed it. Did not Jesus himself commission them to go into all the ...read more

    Prayer

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Aug 14, 2013
     | 13,253 views

    Acts 12 has both answered and unanswered prayers within it. We tend to like it better when we get a "yes" from heaven, but God might actually be doing greater things for us when the answer is "no."

    When is the last time you prayed earnestly for something? What do you expect when you pray? What do you pray for most? I think about the family of a small child who is dying in a cancer ward. They pray night and day and are joined in prayer by hundreds of others asking God to spare the life of ...read more

    God's Guidance And Fasting

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Aug 14, 2013
     | 5,072 views

    How does the church serve God and seek His will? How do we hear His voice for our present day needs? Certainly scripture is the primary tool to know God's will, but how we apply it takes wisdom and Spirit led help. How do we discover those?

    The Church in Antioch – the first place where the disciples were called Christians – was a team building church. Earlier in Acts 11 we hear of how this church began and how the gospel began to spread outside the borders of Israel into the Gentile world as certain brave souls began ...read more

    Working Together

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Sep 12, 2013
     | 10,959 views

    Why did God create us? Why does He call us together in Christ? We all know we are saved through Jesus Christ, but for what purpose? God answers that clearly in Ephesians 4:11-16. From creation to Christ we are called together to serve.

    The text for our topic of today (we begin our relationship with each other) is from Genesis 2:18 (And Ephesians 4:11-16) The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him.” God had created everything in order and after each creation ...read more

    We Were Formed For Fellowship

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2013
     | 5,457 views

    How did God design us? He wants us to gather together in faithful fellowship groups that lead us to the fullness of Christ. Our friendships will impact us for faith or not. We must make choices of fellowship on purpose.

    We were formed for fellowship. When God created Adam the Bible tells us that God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18. This was the first time that, after God created anything, he looked at it and said that it is NOT good. ...read more
