    It is easy to fall into an invalid conclusion and trust your self? Your emotions and thought patterns can deceive you.

    TRUSTING WITHIN SELF? WHAT SHALL I DO? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com TRUST OURSELVES? WHAT SHALL I DO? CONSIDER RICH PAUPERS? I read many years ago about a man. The man’s law firm had been very successful and made him millions of dollars. He was known in the political ...read more

    Investing For The Long Term

    Unlike the crowds on Palm Sunday, who hailed Jesus as king but only days later demanded that he be crucified, we need to hold on to our faith and hope in Christ. Here's why and how.

    I’d like to begin this morning with a story. It involves these men [photo of Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs]. You probably recognize them: Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. The two men who founded Apple Computer. Right? Well, no, actually that’s not accurate. Here is a photo of the original partnership ...read more

    THIS IS THE FIFTH OF A SERIES ON CHOICES WE MUST MAKE AS CHRISTIANS. FAMILY LIFE FOR THE CHRISTIAN IS A DRAMATIC MODEL OF THE LOVE CHRIST HAS FOR THE CHURCH. WE MUST CHOOSE TO BE THE BEST MODEL OF CHRIST'S LOVE WE CAN BE.

    I CHOOSE TO LOVE MY FAMILY FIRST LUKE 12:13-21 LAST WEEK WE LOOKED AT CAPACITY CHOICES INVOLVING FORGIVENESS OF OTHERS AND TRUST.

    What You Have Defines Your Worth Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 14, 2025
     | 736 views

    The world says your value is measured by what you own—status, wealth, and accomplishments. But God says your worth is found in who you are (your character) and whose you are (your identity in Christ). We are not defined by what we accumulate, but by our foundation in Him.

    ### **Introduction:*** This morning, we are continuing our series “Lies the World Tells,” and today we are going after a big one. But before we dive into Scripture, I want to start by letting someone else do the talking. You see, there is a video that’s been floating around for years — some of ...read more

    The Parable Of The Rich Man Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025
     | 439 views

    This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon. The Bible studies teach foundational truth that are designed to challenge, encourage and, most importantly, flame the fire of hunger in the Christian who wants to learn more about who they have become in Christ Jesus.

    The Parable of the Rich Man (Rev. Barry Johnson and Rev. Rodney Johnson) NOTE: New Light Faith Ministries and Barry Johnson Ministries, founded by Rodney V. Johnson and Barry O. Johnson, respectively, are partnering to offer Bible studies for Christians who are seeking to grow in their ...read more

    Sorrow And Vanity Versus Life In Christ

     | 208 views

    We know what brings happiness, and it's not more and more "stuff."

    Eighteenth Sunday in Course 2025 It’s always a challenge to interpret a public proclamation that begins with the word “If,” as today’s reading from St. Paul does. He tells the church at Colossae (and us) “If you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand ...read more

    Rich Towards God

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 31, 2025
     | 456 views

    The Parable of the Rich Fool teaches us not to hoard the blessing God's lavishes upon us. We find ways to share, give, and provide for others in need with a generous spirit.

    IN HIS SERMON “THE USE OF MONEY,” JOHN WESLEY SAID IN REGARDS TO EARTHLY TREASURES, “EARN ALL YOU CAN, SAVE ALL YOU CAN, AND GIVE ALL YOU CAN.” OUR PARABLE DOES NOT CONDEMN WEALTH OR BEING PROSPEROUS OR HAVING MANY POSESSIONS. IN FACT, THE CHURCH DOES NOT TEACH AGAINST IT, BUT RATHER CALLS US TO ...read more

    Money is a thorny question and many of us think we are less rich than we are. "Money dysmorphia". In Luke 12:13-21 Jesus challenges us on our attitude.

    This sermon was first preached 3rd July 2025 at St Grabriel's Acton. It builds on some of my previous sermons on the topic preached elsewhere especially "Frenchie upsets his dad"; "Baking bigger cakes - wealth creation the Wesley Way" and "Generous Wallet Happy ...read more

    Where Your Treasure Lies

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 14, 2025
     | 117 views

    But Jesus, with divine wisdom, sees beyond the surface conflict to the heart issue that threatens both brothers: greed. In response, He tells one of His most sobering parables, a story that cuts through our material obsessions and calls us to examine where we place our trust and hope.

    The scene opens with a dispute over inheritance - a matter as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago. But Jesus, with divine wisdom, sees beyond the surface conflict to the heart issue that threatens both brothers: greed. In response, He tells one of His most sobering parables, a story ...read more

    Some of my favorite cartoons growing up were the Road Runner cartoons. Take a look at this 30-second excerpt from one of them (show Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote—Free Bird Seed). Do you know? In not one of the 49 Road Runner Cartoons produced does Wile E. Coyote ever get the Road Runner. It ...read more

     | 146 views

    Fear and anxiety are things that can have an unhealthy grip on our lives. In this passage, Jesus teaches his followers how we can be free from the burden of worrty.

    In 1988, Bobby McFerrin released a song entitled “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” It was inspired by the teachings of an Indian Guru who used to tell his followers “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” McFerrin’s song was quickly written and recorded. It was released as an Adult Contemporary song where it made it to ...read more

    You Can't Take It With You, But . . . Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Sep 20, 2025
     | 557 views

    How many of us follow the rich fool's lead and build bigger barns by finding new avenues for our investments, as though this life is all that matters? Jesus tells us to beware of all kinds of greed, including being greedy with our own possessions.

    There are some Bible passages which will forever be associated with vivid personal experiences. And today, as we consider the Parable of the Rich Fool, we have encountered one of those passages. My experience with it dates from nearly 40 years ago. In the spring of 1986 I was preparing to ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025

    Radical generosity frees believers from consumerism, channels resources into God’s mission, and reveals hearts anchored in Christ rather than possessions.

    A Startling Act of Generosity A young couple in the Midwest paid off their modest home years early. Then they sold it—debt-free—and moved into a small apartment. With the sale proceeds they funded wells for villages with no clean water, supported missionaries they had never met, and helped single ...read more

    Perilous Times Shall Come

    Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Oct 1, 2025
     | 440 views

    This sermon explores Paul’s warning about the moral and spiritual decline in the last days and concludes with a call to Spirit-filled living, urging believers not only to hold the form of godliness but to walk in its power through the Holy Spirit.

    Perilous Times Shall Come Text: 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV) “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, ...read more

    Grief Turns To Greed

    Sadly grief turns to greed when it is discovered that there is money involved. Money is nice on Earth but is useless in heaven.

    Grief turns to greed Luke 12:13 – 21 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 13 Now someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” 14 But He said to him, “You there—who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over the two of you?” 15 But He said to ...read more
