     | 13,300 views

    If we expect God to use us to do the work of the kingdom, then we will have to be faithful in proclaiming the truth even in the face of opposition and ridicule.

    What should characterize the attitude of a Christ-like servant?

    Radical Self-Interest Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Mar 19, 2010
     | 4,014 views

    In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus connects God's forgiveness of us with our forgiveness of others. To forgive is, then, "an act of radical self-interest."

    RADICAL SELF-INTEREST Matthew 6:9-15 (NRSV) 9 "Pray then in this way: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our ...read more

    Lent 5 (B). Christ gave his life as a ransom, freeing us not only from sin, but from our own flesh and the power of the devil. We are now free to serve others, as we live under Him in His kingdom.

    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. “Free not to be me” Jesus and his disciples are on their way to Jerusalem. And as they are walking, He is telling them about His upcoming ...read more

    How to get along in the body of Christ.

    Last Sunday, we talked about the unity in the body of Christ. We see God’s desire for unity throughout Scripture.
