     | 4,183 views

    Are you wasting God's resources and gifts propping up a dying church?

    1 Cor 4:1  Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.  2  Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.  1 Peter 4:10  As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to ...read more

    Jesus And Giving Series

     | 2,877 views

    Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

    Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

    Commitment

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 5, 2020
     | 5,323 views

    I believe the greatest need we have in Christianity today is: Total Commitment of our Lives to the Lord

    According to Romans 12:1; Total commitment is something we can and must do. It is an act of our will. The problem is that very little is said about total commitment. It is seen in our everyday life. • If you don’t like your job…. quit • If you don’t feel like working…. call in sick • If your ...read more

    We Are His Disciples Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jun 15, 2020
     | 4,236 views

    Our desire should be to be like Christ, to follow in His footsteps, to see the world as He sees the world, to conform to His likeness. We have a word for it, we call it being a disciple. We are called to be His disciples.

    Who are we in Christ? We have been looking at this pretty much since Easter. We considered that “in Christ” we are a new creation. All the old has passed away and before God, all has become new! Being in Christ, we represent Him to the world, we have become His ambassadors. We have the ...read more

    Discipleship

    When Jesus speaks about counting the cost to be his disciple he made it clear that following him would cost us our life of ease, our money and our time. To be a disciple of Jesus means we are the salt the preserving force in this world in which we live in.

    God calls us to be heroes not only in extraordinary circumstances, but in our daily lives.

    I) Let’s talk a bit about heroes. A) I love to read adventure thrillers. One of the authors that I used to read a lot (while he was living) was Robert Ludlum. His stories were frequently built around an average citizen who sees or hears something that he should not have. He then becomes caught up ...read more
