The Jesus Way Series

Contributed by Anthony Seel on Feb 12, 2019

As Christians, our choices are much like Israel’s choices in the period of the judges. We can assimilate; we can allow the surrounding culture to absorb us without a whimper. Or, we can determine that, by the grace of God, we will be salt and light in the places where God places us and sends us.

A God Given Purpose

Contributed by Travis Leib on May 31, 2015

Be assured, God has a purpose for His people. Idleness is never an option.

Certainly one of the most frequent question I deal with as a Pastor, is the question of "What is my purpose?" It is the purposeless life that finds itself in discontent, discouragment, depression, and is a leading factor of suicide. No purpose. Useless. Yes, those are extremes. But, do not ...read more

Excuses, Excuses

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 19, 2022
