What Makes Us Uncomfortable

Contributed by Richard Stevens on Oct 18, 2023

There are people and situations that make us uncomfortable. Rather than avoiding those people or situations, what should be our response to them? How should we handle them? Fortunately, we have an example in the Gospel of Luke to guide us.

INTRODUCTION In my opinion, I think we can boil those that make us uncomfortable down to, basically two kinds of people - CRAZY people and NAKED people. In Luke 8:26-39, we see that Jesus met a man who was both. CRAZY and NAKED. “ And they arrived at the country of the ...read more

What Makes A Great Mother

Contributed by Matt Skiles on Jun 12, 2023

Giving birth does not make a woman a mother. It takes a special woman to be a mother. A mother is a person who is willing to take the responsibility of investing her life into another human being who is totally de-pendent upon her to do so:

Proverbs 31:29-30-“Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.” 30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. Luke 2:1-7-“And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be ...read more

Mold Me And Make Me

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

This message looks at Jeremiah's imagery of God as the Potter. If we fail to submit to the Potter and remain in His hands, then the Lord will stop shaping us and let us alone. But when He lets us alone, we are in a very fragile state!

There is a well-known hymn entitled, “Have Thine Own Way.” The first line of this hymn says, “Have Thine own way, Lord! . . . Thou art the potter, I am the clay! Mold me and make me after Thy will, while I am waiting, yielded and still.”(1) When Adelaide Pollard wrote the words to this hymn she ...read more

A clear mind will help us to pray more appropriately for a given situation. Christ is coming again and time is running out. This should lead us to a sound prayer life.
