That Magnificent Kingdom Series

Contributed by Mark Connelly on Jul 31, 2003

The joy of our faith is about much more than going to church. We don’t just have a building, we have a kingdom awaiting us. We don’t just have a leader, we have the King in Jesus.

Jesus ushered in the Kingdom of God and revealed the deep truths about the same. As we allow God’s Kingdom to rule and reign within us, we will see tremendous growth and transformation in our lives.

We read in Mark 4:30, "What shall we say the Kingdom of God is like?" asked Jesus. "What parable shall we use to explain it? (GNB) In this series of messages, we are studying in detail some of the questions that Jesus asked. While Jesus lived here on earth, though He is omniscient, ...read more

A man was out on the golf course. He spotted another man who seemingly had four caddies. “Why so many caddies?” the first man asked the second. The second golfer replied, “It’s my wife’s idea.

Faith In Action

Contributed by Patty Groot on Oct 6, 2025

True faith isn’t about how much we have, but about trusting God enough to live it out through humble obedience, steady service, and daily forgiveness.

Our Scripture today comes from Luke.

The disciples come to Jesus and say, “Increase our faith!” (v. 5). That’s the kind of ...read more

Faith And Fealty Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Dec 1, 2025

As the disciples as Jesus to increase their faith, Jesus urges that faith is more a matter of quality than quantity. Our ultimate responsibility is faithful obedience.

One such person was George Mueller. He lived from 1805-1898. In an era when people would pay “pew rents” in order to have ...read more
