    Our loyalty to Christ and other believers should supersede all other factors. We should receive and support every other Christian regardless of race, denomination, political party, or any other affiliation. This message expounds Philippians 4:10-23.

    For the last two messages we have addressed Paul’s expression of gratitude for the gift the Philippians had sent him. That is found in Philippians 4:10-20. There we discovered a wealth of revelation that has filled our hearts with peace and confidence. Those two previous messages focused on three ...read more

    This section assumes the rich and the poor’s understanding that appears at other places in James and reflects the influence of the reception of the poor by Jesus in the exhortation not to show partiality in the church.

    Lesson Text: James 2:1-4 (KJV) 1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3And ye have respect to him ...read more

    We live in an image-driven culture and our churches seem to be buying into the concept in their efforts to reach people, but more than ever, what people need is for us to be genuine followers of Christ. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    James is very upset about something he’s seen in the holy gatherings! Rich people were getting special treatment. James had a famous brother with the same feelings!

    Psalm 131–a homily for today Today’s psalm, “O Lord, my heart is not proud,” is the kind of prayer-gem that can stimulate hours of meditation.

    We are living in turbulent times. There is hatred on every side. How can God's church navigate these challenges and bring hope to a world who has lost her way? In this message Dr. Vorce shares Biblical insights concerning racism, reconciliation and healing.

    The death of George Floyd brought the problem of racial injustice to the forefront again. Although there may be a need for police reform, the underlying problem goes deeper. What does God's word say about things like racism, prejudice and discrimination?

This time it seems like the protesters are not letting up until there's at least some level of reform. Although there may be a need for that, the underlying problem ...read more
