    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 23, 2012
     | 7,760 views

    This sermon continues and concludes the section of 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 that I began last week. Paul gives three aspects of living a life that pleases God. This sermon covers the last two aspects.

    Introduction: A. Today I want to talk about living a life that pleases God. 1. Ultimately, living a life that pleases God will also be a life that will get the attention of others and will impact them. B.

    Acts 3 tells us of a beggar who received much more than he expected. We live in a world where silver and gold has become a god to and for many people; if they only knew that the Lord has much more to offer than the world could ever give them.

    INTRODUCTION: When Jesus called on His disciples, He did not sit them down one by one to negotiate their salary. He did not ask them for a resume, He did not ask them for a reference because no one knew them better than He did. There’s no explanation in the Bible as why He chose His 12 disciples, ...read more

    What Does It Mean To "make Every Effort" To Enter The Kingdom? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 10, 2025
     | 178 views

    This passage has two troubling phrases: "make every effort" and "try . . . and not be able." What are we to do with those? And do they mean that God is setting up difficult barriers to get into the Kingdom?

    WHAT DOES "MAKE EVERY EFFORT" MEAN? It doesn’t mean that it’s nearly impossible but that you should focus your attention. - Luke 13:22-24a. - Jesus is asked an important question: “[A]re only a few people going to be saved?” (v. 23). - That's a great question. What is the nature of ...read more

    Every husband is in the ministry of marriage.

    Second only to our relationship with God, marriage is the single most important relationship that we will ever have.

     | 263 views

    True gratitude transforms our lives, drawing us closer to Jesus, deepening our healing, and opening our hearts to God’s ongoing blessing and presence.

    Some of us walked in today with full calendars and thin reserves. Bills on the table, worries in the heart, a sigh that sits a little too close to the surface. We could use a fresh breath of grace. We could use the reminder that God isn’t just good to us; He is near to us. Near on the mountaintop. ...read more

    When fear and challenges overwhelm, our greatest response is to seek God in prayer, trusting Him to fight our battles and bring peace.

    Maybe you woke up this morning with a knot in your stomach and a question in your heart: How am I going to face this? The email you didn’t want to read, the bill you didn’t expect to pay, the diagnosis you didn’t see coming—the giants line up like shadows at sunset, long and looming. Your courage ...read more

    God’s grace transforms weary hearts, planting hope and new beginnings, as He writes His promises within us and remembers our sins no more.

    If you came in today feeling weary, worried, or worn thin, you’re in good company. The God who counts your tears also carries your cares. He has a promise with your name on it—a promise that doesn’t pile on pressure, but pours in power. When we open Jeremiah 31, we find a picture of God kneeling in ...read more

    For the love of family, we cannot forget about members of our family who are getting older. Scripture teaches us that those who do not care for their relatives have denied the faith. We need to learn what it means to love our elders.

     | 12,257 views

    The Bible teaches that in the last days before Christ’s return our world would become perilous. It is during times like these that we need to become people of prayer. The call to prayer for our leaders and our nation is clear from the pages of God’s Word

    PRAY FOR THE PRESIDENT AND AMERICA I Timothy 2:1-4 I Timothy 2:1-4 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness ...read more
