    You Gotta Serve Somebody

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 9, 2019
     | 4,429 views

    When we become Christians, we are set free from our bondage to sin, but we must then strive to be slaves of righteousness. Everyone either serves sin or God. You gotta serve somebody!

    Introduction: A. I always liked the Far Side cartoons, and so I begin with this cartoon because of the irony of it. 1. Here’s a man who is a slave on a Viking ship, and he thinks the slave driver will care that he is getting a blister. He was in for a rude awakening! 2. Slavery is an ugly subject ...read more

    Knowing his time here was almost finished, Joshua called the people together for a final word. He challenged them to remember the goodness of God, and remain committed to Him. Regardless of their decision, he was determined to serve the Lord. We too need that committed resolve to serve the Lord.

    Choose whom you will Serve Joshua 24: 13-15 Our text today is likely a familiar passage for most of us. Joshua had served the Lord faithfully as he walked beside Moses, being used in various ways to assist their journey from Egypt toward the Promised Land. God had given Joshua favor in the eyes of ...read more

    Let’s not be the hindrance to someone not advancing in what God has called them to do. Let’s be encouragers and take the time to mentor others so that they can be the leaders of tomorrow.

    We have been involved in the prophet Elijah's life for some time now. We've been talking about living outside our comfort zone by serving God in different ways. We have discussed serving God with courage, serving God with trust, serving God through our prayers, serving God with our ...read more

    Too many believers are waiting for the perfect scenario before they will serve the Lord. It’s an excuse that is often used for idleness and spiritual inactivity - the excuse that it’s not an ideal time or situation in which to serve.

    There is no ideal place to serve God except the place where He has set you down. - Eric Alexander(1) The Lord wants us to bloom where we’re planted, and to serve Him faithfully right where we are. He doesn’t want us to sit around waiting for the “perfect situation” before we serve Him. If we ...read more

    “How long will you waver between two opinions?” We need revival! Every kind of problem and disaster has happened to the USA. Have we repented yet? Do we still hesitate to surrender all to Christ? "If Jehovah is God, then serve Him!"

    Serving God Takes Trust

     | 4,091 views

    Sometimes what God permits us to lose or endure, points us to the truth that He is all we really need. It's a matter of learning to trust God in the good and in the bad. It's a matter of trusting God and not trusting the things that He provides.

    Do you trust God? I mean do you really trust God? Back in 1859 there was a tightrope walker by the name of Charles Blondin. He amazed the world when he walked the tightrope across Niagara Falls. The cable sagged about 60 ft in the middle and formed a sharp slope and the drop below him was ...read more

    As we look at the life of Elijah, I think we will see a resemblance of what he went through and what we go through today as we serve our Savior.

    If you've been with us for the past 7 weeks then you know that we took a journey to visit the seven churches that Jesus wrote letters to in the Book of Revelation. We found that those messages still apply to our individual lives and our churches today. Now we're going to change gears for ...read more
