Uprooting Trees And Being Unprofitable Servants

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 30, 2022

Twenty-seventh Sunday in Course 2022 Today’s Gospel might whipsaw our brains a little, particularly if you read the whole chapter.

Doing Your Duty With A Little Faith

Contributed by Richard L. Brown on May 23, 2022

This is a lesson about using the gifts that God has already given us instead of wishing our lives away wanting what God has not ordained. It features the problem that the first disciples were having and Jesus' answer to them when they asked for more faith.

Doing Your Duty with a Little Faith Luke 17: 5-10, 2 Timothy 1:3-12 The Apostles were with Jesus daily. They saw miracles that would make their hearts stand still and yet they wanted more faith. What more could Jesus possibly give them? The answer is, he doesn’t give them anything more. ...read more

A Measure Of Faith Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022

When asking God for faith, we are correct in identifying that we need faith, or that perhaps we’re experiencing some kind of spiritual problem. However, we don’t need “more” faith. What we need is the faith already allotted to us.

Our message for this evening is entitled, “A Measure of Faith,” and it’s taken from a passage of Scripture that’s sometimes called, “Faith and Duty.” Have you ever felt inadequate in your relationship with God, or perhaps in your ability to bear spiritual fruit? Have you ever felt that you don’t ...read more

Faith, Rewards And Duty (October 5, 2025 Version)

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 1, 2025

What Jesus and the Church teach is not how to get extra points on our heavenly report card.

The £50 Word – Thank You

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Oct 5, 2025

How often do you say thank you? It is so easy to take something or someone for granted when we should be grateful and all we have to do is say thank you. To say thanks doesn't cost anything but it means the world in gratitude.
