It’s Worth The Cost

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 27, 2022

If we are truly going to be Jesus’ disciple, there will be a cost involved. And for those willing to make that sacrifice, God will be able to pour out His power and glory through that person.

Please turn with me to Luke 14. Sometimes when I say the word “Luke” I want to go all Star Wars! L-U-K-E. (Laughter) The more I spend time in the gospels, the more I see that what Jesus asks of us, He has already had to do Himself. When Jesus taught what He taught, He not only spoke from a ...read more

Fishing For Men

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 16, 2022

Look at what they did when they were called. Did they ask permission from anyone to go and why did they go?

Jesus had told Peter and Andrew to quit their fishing business and become “fishers of men,” to help other people discover God. Jesus was calling them from their earthly trade to a spiritual trade. How many of us have heard the call and answered? If we all were to do what Christ taught and spread ...read more

Quiet Time With God

"ordinary People For An Extraordinary Calling" Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 31, 2020

Jesus rarely calls the famous, the powerful, the influential, or the religious groups to preach the Gospel. He works best with those who feel that that have nothing to offer Him but follow and obey Him anyway.

The message of Jesus has not changed in over two thousand years. He still tells those with ears to hear to repent and believe in the Gospel. In His early ministry, He preached in His hometown synagogue and nearly got Himself killed as a result (Luke 4:16-30). Wherever Jesus went, He either ...read more

Job 3:26, "I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.” Do you share Job's sentiment? To say this past year has been stressful is an understatement. As we begin our new year, maybe it's time to incorporate some silent solitude into our daily regimen.

Contemplative Prayer

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022

Contemplative prayer is much like two lovers in love with each other. In contemplation we use new approaches or tools, if you will, to hear God more completely, intimately, or thoroughly.

Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray. Two weeks ago, we spent some time talking ...read more

Demons Know About Jesus, How Come You Dont Care To Know Him?

Contributed by Chinguwa Elvis on Mar 28, 2022

Jesus introduced himself into people's lives, teaching with authority what the scribes failed to do (v22). Hos authority is ably exercised when he casts a demon out of a man with the unclean spirit (23-24). His powerful doctrine and actions amazed many observers (27-28)

This is an age of symbolism. Every major company across America has some kind of logo to represent their business.
