    The key to a distinctively Christian Thanksgiving celebration is giving thanks for the right things.

    This morning, I’d like to begin with a question. Is Thanksgiving a Christian holiday? The word "holiday," after all, comes from the phrase "holy day". And so, is Thanksgiving a holy day for those who serve and worship Jesus Christ? Does the twenty-eighth of November have any special spiritual ...read more

    It Is Your Responsibility

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 25, 2002
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,791 views

    We can’t gussy up our attitudes or actions to make them seem righteous on the outside and think that we are pleasing God. It’s much better to be transparent and let God deal with you, than try to hide sin under a pretty blanket.

    The latest answer when you are caught making a mistake, doing something wrong – even breaking the law is: There was an error in judgment. Not, I goofed, or I’m guilty – but an error in judgment was made. That goes right along with this one: "I assume responsibility for all of my actions, except the ...read more

     | 6,893 views

    What a solid foundation we have, built upon the teachings, the writings, the very lives of the Apostles, the Prophets, and Christ as the cornerstone! (#23 in the Every Spiritual Blessing series)

    As we come near the end of chapter 2 we see that God has brought us from being dead in trespasses and sins, without God and without hope, strangers to the covenants of promise, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and from the life of God, to being reconciled through the cross, given access ...read more

    When Builder Becomes A Blessing Series

    Contributed by Rick Duncan on Oct 8, 2002
    based on 45 ratings
     | 12,586 views

    Some leaders have not found the secret to being a true blessing to their followers. Instead, they lay burdens on the backs of those they lead. Nehemiah is a great example of a builder who blesses those he leads. Learn some lessons from his life.

    Nehemiah saw something that was broken. God called him to rebuild. He did… and blessed the lives of others. This is always true. God’s leaders bless the lives of people. But I’m betting that you been around leaders who made life harder, not easier. In verse 15 will see this phrase, “The ...read more
