    Christ's Lordship Demands Our Servanthood

    based on 144 ratings
     | 10,827 views

    Jesus voluntarily humbled Himself to become a servant and we must do the same.

    The Bible, our supreme guild for living, has much to say concerning being a servant. God has often empowered those who did not think too highly of themselves. People such as Gideon hiding in the threshing floor, or David tending sheep in the backlot caught God’s attention and were mightily used of ...read more

    Making Sacrifices

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 27, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,871 views

    Be willing to make sacrifices for God and be blessed. When we give of ourselves, God’s will can be fulfilled. Ask, what does God expects from us today?

    We tend to position ourselves on the receiving end, and ask God for His blessings. • Surely He loves us and we know He will bless us and help us through life. • We need also to see ourselves on the ‘giving’ end, and offer to God what He expects from us. It’s good to get the right perspective. • ...read more

     | 5,071 views

    Ever wonder what you are signing up for with Jesus Christ? Luke 9 gives us some practical examples of the principals in the Christian discipleship.

    Do you know what a "EULA" is? It’s not a form of Hawaiian dance. It’s not what you say about a person at a funeral. It stands for "End User License Agreement." If you have ever installed a piece of computer software, you have encountered a EULA. It’s that huge mass of legal garbly-gook full of ...read more

    Part Three: Understand Your Struggle With Christ Series

     | 2,854 views

    We all struggle to be better, to improve, etc. But struggling in becoming a disciple is a product of pride. The sooner we understand this, the sooner we can make struggle an asset rather than a liability.

    Introduction Where are we today? I mean by that, in our study about the Christ and His Church, are we making progress? Are we moving toward Christ or are we satisfied to stay back, keeping our distance? Are we unsure we are willing to make the kind of commitment Jesus Christ wants of us? It is ...read more

    It is important to understand that God has freely given us salvation. It was paid for by the cross of Christ. Along with this salvation comes discipleship. Jesus said if you are going to be His disciple, you have to bear your cross.
