    Work gets overwhelming. The people we work with seem hurtful and self serving. Yet, work is a place where we live out our faith--a setting where we must learn to be more Christlike.

    This passage about Mary and Martha is familiar to many of you. It is fairly well known. It is a story about one women working in the kitchen and making preparations to entertain guests while her sister is involved in spiritual pursuits and assisting directly in the ministry of Jesus. And, when the ...read more

    Are you Qualified? Colossians 1:9-14 Revelation 20:11-15 INTRODUCTION I was studying this passage that we will look at today and I have to confess that I kept getting stuck on one word. I would read the passage over and over and each time this word would come up, I would just stare and look at ...read more

    The final command of Paul to the Church in expectation of the rapture, it is the command to be REAL

    "BE REAL!" And now we arrive at the final command of Paul to the Church in expectation of the rapture, it is the command to be Real!

    Demands Of Discipleship

    Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Feb 17, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,227 views

    Are we just followers, or true disciples, of Jesus? There is a difference! If we are a true disciple, then we have rewards in heaven. If we are just followers, we may not. Let us learn about the demands of discipleship.

    It is possible to be a follower of Jesus without being a disciple; to be a camp follower without being a soldier of the king; to be a hanger-on in some great work without pulling one’s weight. Someone was talking to a great scholar about a younger man. He said, “So and so tells me that he was ...read more
