Where Your Treasure Is

Contributed by Glynda Lomax on May 23, 2021

Idolatry is anything we run to besides the Lord for comfort. Whatever we spend all our time, money and energy on will show us if there are idols in our lives.

Suficiente Fuerza De Mano, Pero Sin Fuerza De Corazón

The Christian And Riches Series

Seeking A King (Behold)

Contributed by Scott Jensen on Dec 31, 2019

God wants us to seek him, but we don't always seek him properly. Even with the distractions, we face in life, God is still there waiting for us.

Jesus Cleanses The Temple

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Mar 3, 2018

Why does Jesus cleanse the Temple rather than deal with the Roman occuppying force. In short, because the Priests were not living up to the standards God expected from them. The Temple's uses were being abused. God requires higher standards.

TSJ 04-03-2018 John 2: 13-25: Jesus clears the Temple This morning's Gospel reading blows a hole in our comfortable view of Jesus being "Gentle Jesus meek and mild.". He was anything else but meek and mild This morning we see Jesus clearing the money changers out of the Temple. We read in ...read more

Judging Character

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 26, 2017

We put a lot of priority into the way we look, but God sees on the inside. God values character over appearance, and can rightly help us do the same as we trust him.

1 Samuel 16:6-13 Judging Character In our western society, we truly value outward appearances. People in America spend thousands and thousands of dollars on face lifts, behind lifts, and everything in between. Don Knotts, the actor who played Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show, once said, “What ...read more
