    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 2, 2014
     | 7,754 views

    Paul provides guidelines for administering the gifts entrusted to the congregation.

    “Thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same earnest care I have for you. For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going to you of his own accord. With him we are sending the brother who is famous among all the churches for his preaching of ...read more

    There is a thirst in every heart that can only be satisfied by our Creator. This is seen in John's account of the woman at the well. Like her, we must encounter Jesus in order to satisfy the spiritual thirst we have.

    THE GIFT THAT NEVER STOPS John 4:1-18 The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. 4 Now he had to go ...read more

    The Wonderful Gifts Of Christmas

    Contributed by Pastor Jeff Hughes on Jan 22, 2014
     | 4,217 views

    A message about the gifts of the Magi to Jesus, and also about the gifts of Jesus to us when we are saved.

    The Wonderful Gifts of Christmas It had been a hard winter in the Appalachian area. The snow had piled up deeper and deeper, the mercury dropped, rivers froze, people suffered. The Red Cross used helicopters to fly in supplies. One crew had been working day after day--long hours. They were on ...read more

    We can learn much about the reception and exercise of the spiritual gifts from both the Blessed Virgin and the heresies rejected by the Church.

    The Greatest Gift Of All

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 30, 2015
     | 4,719 views

    What do you think is the greatest gift anyone can receive? It is the gift of eternal life.

    Who likes getting gifts? I certainly do. Let me ask you this. Is something a gift if you have to pay for it? If you have to pay for it or do something for it, it isn’t a gift. When someone gives you a gift, it doesn’t cost you anything. All you have to do is accept it. What is the one ...read more

    Gifts From The Lord Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on May 31, 2015
     | 4,495 views

    1) Every believer has been individually gifted (Eph. 4:7); 2) Christ obtained the right to give gifts(Eph. 4:8-10); and 3) the Lord blesses the whole church (Eph.4:11)

    Gift giving is a year round problem. When we are invited to an event we wonder what we should bring. Usually the bigger the event, the bigger the gift. A dinner party requires a different gift from a wedding. Problems arise when we try to out give the other invited guests, try to bribe our way with ...read more

    God's Gift Of The Magi

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 30, 2015
     | 5,211 views

    The Magi were humbled by the state of reverence that they felt for the Christ Child. That, my friends, is the appropriate motivation for worship in our church services today. We need to put away our pride and worldly baggage and worship Christ sincerely.

    Well, the 12 days of Christmas are over for another season. All of the decorations are down and put away for another year, and the presents have been opened. The craziness of the Christmas season is over for the secular world, but here in the church, we have some more of the Christmas story to ...read more

     | 10,275 views

    What can we expect from the Holy Spirit in return for our trust? There are great possibilities in what we can do with help from the Holy Ghost.

    The Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Isaiah 11:1-5 When I began this week’s study, I have to admit that I went, “Yeah! This is week is going to be good!” because this idea has underpinnings that tell us of vast and great discernment about this world that we can tap in to. The ...read more

    Jesus is the gift

    2Co 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. This is the time of year when we are concerned about choosing just the right Christmas gifts to give to the special people in our lives.

    From Disharmoney To A Gift Series

    Levi changed his name to Matthew in his Gospel to reflect his heart change.

    Last week we talked about the man who came through the roof with the help of his friends. Remember Jesus was more concerned about his spiritual healing than a physical healing. While his friends expected a physical, healing Jesus instead forgave his sins. It was after the religious people got upset ...read more

    Gifts For The Common Good

     | 6,785 views

    The gifts of the Holy Spirit are given primarily for the common good, and primarily so that we can be His witnesses.

    This section of Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church is about unity in diversity, serving the common good together, and being instruments of God’s grace by His Spirit at work to heal, to teach and to build up. The overall message is that God is in control. It is His church not yours ...read more

    God's Gift To Men

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Jul 8, 2014
     | 3,954 views

    The sacred mystery of Christmas is the Incarnation, that God became flesh and made His dwelling among us. The world opposes this mystery as irrational and offensive, because it points to our fallen nature and need for a Savior.

    The Mystery of Christmas, what makes it special, is the Incarnation. A mystery is not part of our human, rational understanding. It is sublime, and part of divine revelation. Non-Christians can witness the events of Christmas—the baby in the manger, etc.—but without God’s ...read more

    psalm 68 helps us understand what Jesus' ascension means for my life.

    As we observe the incarnation of the Messiah, Jesus, during this Christmas season, we’ve been on a journey through some of the Messianic Psalms. We began in Psalm 8 where we saw the humility of Jesus that was demonstrated by His incarnation and his crucifixion. We then continued on to Psalm ...read more
