    How Is Your Life Invested?

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,397 views

    God has made a great investment in us so that we might make a great investment in others. Bringing others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is where we should invest our time and energy. God will examine the books to see if we made a profit for Him.

    How is your life invested? Luke 19:11-27 Matthew 25:14-46 I’m always fascinated about how many different conclusions people can come to about God’s word. This is especially obvious when you read and study the Parables of Jesus. There is great temptation to take the words of Jesus and make them ...read more

    Most of us don’t fully realize just how good we’ve got it, much less what to do about it. It’s time to count your true blessings, so you can make the most of them.

    “Oh, if only God would bless me!” And so we pray, “God bless me . . . with wisdom, with patience, in this decision, in my job, as I teach . . .” and the list goes on. Yet, with all our sincere seeking and praying, we miss the blessing. Why? One day as I was frantically searching through the house, ...read more

     | 4,388 views

    God’s peace and power can only be experienced when we say no to ourselves and our ambitions and yes to God. God sacrificed Jesus for our sins, so it is only fair for us to make the sacrifices we have to make to love God and show that love to the world.

    Have you ever been in a gathering where you felt that you did not belong? Have you even been in a club where you had to obey the rules?

    Paul calls us to count the present as a gift of God, make peace with the past, and rest assured in the future God has in store for those who are his. (This sermon could easily be modified into a funeral/memorial service message.)

    2 Timothy 4:6-8 Finishing Well Did you know the human condition is 100% fatal? How about that for a sermon starter? But the truth is, unless Jesus returns first, we will each reach that moment where we cross over from this life to eternity. What will it be like? Will we be at peace? Will we be ...read more

    How To Keep Your Vision Alive

    Contributed by Benjamin Suulola on Mar 13, 2023
     | 4,161 views

    It takes a God-like vision to make positive difference, bring transformation and to impact our generation for the Lord. But having a God-given vision is not important as being able to keep the vision alive.

    Vision is simply the ability to see what God is doing and the role apportioned to you in bringing it to reality. Your God-given vision is one of the most important reasons for your living. When there is no vision of God to be accomplished with one's life, the purpose of living becomes ...read more
