Two Examples Of Level 5 Faithfulness Series

Contributed by Michael Mays on Sep 14, 2021

How committed are we to being of service? In describing himself, Jesus said in Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Paul describes for us two Level 5 leaders in today’s Scripture…

Can We Lose Our Healing

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 26, 2021

You cannot lose what you did not have. If you have it, you cannot lose it.

There is a large church group who has healing rooms and that is fine, but they have a belief that a person can lose their healing because some who are claimed to be healed later “lost their healing,” because the symptoms returned. Thus it is their fault if it did not stick. As an ...read more

God Is Bigger Than My Selfishness Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Fast food restaurants ask you, “Would you like to supersize your drink?” Warehouse stores sell Costco and Sam’s Club offer us items in bulk – really big sizes. It seems like the only item in modern day life that hasn’t been upgraded is God.

Today, we continue a short 4-week series entitled God is Bigger. Pause for a moment because I want everyone to hear this question: How big is your God? How capable is God in your mind? J.B. Phillips wrote a book that he gave a title that fascinates me entitled, Your God Is Too Small. He writes, ...read more

A Burrito And The Gospel – Philippians 2:19-30

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Feb 2, 2022

God is saying I'm looking for people who are compassionate because I have a message called the gospel that I want to advance. I want to spread it around and give it to people. That's the message. Now the question is, are we in that place where we can take that message and run with it?

I love Mexican food. But when I look at the menu of Mexican food, I'm always surprised there's like fifty things on the menu. But there's only really four ingredients to Mexican food. Okay, there's a tortilla, there's meat, there's vegetables, and there's cheese. Now you ...read more
