    The second in a four part series on generous giving, "Lifestyle of Generosity," yip God owns it and how are we going to respond?

    Today I’d like to start with a question before answering it. Who owns what, what can we give to God? The answer is this and it may come as a bit of a surprise, God owns everything, it all belongs to Him, including our skills and our capabilities. As Christians people saved by the grace of God, we ...read more

    Don’t let failure robs us of faith in God. Develop your faith in God through a lifestyle of prayer and communion with God.

    Failure has a great impact in our lives. Once beaten, twice shy. • When we failed, we are hit by discouragement, fear and even doubts, that we can ever succeed. • That makes the second or third attempt more difficult. Put ourselves in the shoes of the father for a moment. • He was a worried ...read more

    We discipline our children so that they can discipline themselves. The eternal destiny of our children largely hinges upon the lifestyle of the parents.

    How to Deal with a Rebellious Child Ephesians 6:1-4 Psalm 127:3-5 “Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.” (NIV) Being a parent changes everything. But ...read more

    Congregations today are in peril of being like the Church in Pergamum: confessing Christ in a culture that is unfriendly to Christianity, but embracing the lifestyle of those who are not Christian.

    Revelation 2:12-17 Church in the Shadows Pergamum December 2, 2007 "Pergamum: The Church in the Shadow of Satan’s Throne" This letter was written "to the angel of the church in Pergamum."

    A Pathway To Success - Beyond Uncertianty

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 28, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,538 views

    Someone has well said, “Nature forms us. Sin deforms us. Education informs us. BUT ONLY CHRIST TRANSFORMS US.” The Lord doesn’t expect us to do everything, but He does expect us to do something. He expects us to be more alert to the opportunities around us to pray, live and witness for Christ.

    The Apostle Paul who had invested so much in the life of young Timothy, helps him prepare for a new beginning by offering him a pathway to success. I believe this is also a pathway for our success as we prepare the church to make its own mark. Timothy had been left at Ephesus to manage the affairs ...read more

    Confronted with the cry for the universal tolerance of Gay lifestyles, followers of Jesus must be willing to enter the debate, with gentleness and respect, demonstrating what true tolerance looks like.

    Does God Hate Gays June 12, 2011 INTRODUCTION This last week on Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow weighed in on the homosexuality debate.

    Words: Consider The Source Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 31, 2021
     | 2,133 views

    Seriously, though, there is a difference. God’s Word has power to propel us through life in Godliness, the word of man has some power, and the word of agitators can have a good dose of negative power. When it comes to words, we need to consider the source.

    Words: Consider the Source (Proverbs 29:18, 19, 21, 22) 1. None of us doubt the power of words. This story illustrates it. 2. A group of Frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other Frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, ...read more

    The message helps us understand God doesn't expect us to be great, but he does expect us to be good by doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly.

    Four thousand years ago, barrenness was the ultimate disgrace; it was seen as a sign of divine disfavor. If you don’t have children, it’s because God’s got something against you. Period. A woman who couldn’t conceive suffered not only lack of approval, but also the threat of divorce. And barrenness ...read more

    If you make an investment, would you not expect to make a greater return than what you put in? Why should God expect less from us?
