    If You Want To Grow, Examine What You Think You Know

    Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 22, 2023
     | 2,016 views

    Give God the glory for all you are and all you will be. Let us look inside ourselves and find the person God created us to be. If you know yourself, more power to you, but we still need to examine ourselves, if for no other reason than that is what God told us to do. Examine Yourself!

    When you know who you are in Christ, you can easily follow the Lord’s Way and Truth. Some of you think, “That’s too hard.” However, I ask the Holy Spirit to bring to your remembrance that Jesus, Himself, said: “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:30, NIV). If things are hard for some ...read more

    Fearfully Made, Deeply Loved: Embracing Your God-Given Worth Series

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Aug 1, 2025
     | 227 views

    This is the 7th talk in an 8-week class called "Trauma and Transformation, Level 1." This discusses practicing self-compassion by treating ourselves with the same love God shows us. Love is action, not just feeling—and how we treat ourselves reflects what we believe about our worth.

    Session 7 Self-compassion This is the 7th talk in an 8-week class called "Trauma and Transformation, Level 1". The course takes a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual approach to healing. Both Christians and non-Christians are welcome. This is a reflection time of about 10 minutes that occurs in ...read more

    Year End Inventory

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 26, 2024
     | 6,197 views

    Jesus tells us that when we seek first the Kingdom of God, the other things we are concerned about will take care of themselves. Paul doesn't want us to merely call ourselves Christians or think of ourselves as Christians. He wants to know Christ and wants us to be real followers of Jesus too.

    Opening illustration: Business owners are busy at the end of the year taking inventory. This is a painful but necessary reality so they can know if they made a profit or not. They take the information they receive and make adjustments for the coming year. As Christians, we need to stop at the end ...read more

    Work Out Your Own Salvation - (What Does This Really Mean?)

    Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Aug 3, 2021
     | 6,108 views

    We are told to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. However, what do I have to do to work out my salvation? Are there certain steps I must take? Are there some specific criteria for me to work out my own salvation? These are all good questions.

    Phil 2:12-13: Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. One day I was at the gym, and this man ...read more

    None of us know with certainty what lies ahead after we are gathered to Christ. However, Paul encourages believers to look forward, preparing ourselves for what is surely coming.

    “We know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in ...read more

    We live our lives on a battlefield. We are constantly in battle against the devil and his fallen angels. But God had equipped us with the armor to protect ourselves and defend His name.

    Armor of God “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:11) In this passage of Scripture, which we are going to study today, Paul tells us what we must wear to the war that we fight every day.

    In Galatians 3:1-14, Paul has presented us with us two roads. One road is the road of curse. The other road is the road of blessing. What road are you on? Are you on the road of curse, which leads to destruction or are you on the road of blessing whi

    I think God gave us the caterpillar and the butterfly to tell us about ourselves. To tell us that we need a transformation to become all we’re meant to be.

    “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” -2nd Cor 3:17-18 We as ...read more

    Spiritual Laws

     | 6,439 views

    God has established spiritual laws that can change our circumstances. These spiritual laws, like all laws, are designed to bless us, but they only do so as we submit ourselves to them.

    Our lives are constantly being effected by civil laws, natural laws, and spiritual laws. Some laws will take precedence over others. We might establish a civil law that says it’s perfectly legal to drive 55 MPH on a curvy road, but if the road becomes covered with ice, the natural law of ...read more
