    Jesus Rejected In His Hometown: Are You Offended Or Faithful? Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 5, 2023
     | 2,156 views

    We’ll be looking at two key moments in the life of Jesus, first the moment when Jesus visits his hometown and is rejected by them. Secondly, we’ll look at a moment when Jesus sent out his disciples to do ministry.

    “Three elements of personality are involved in making a decision to become a Christian, or in making any significant decision for that matter. They are the emotions, the intellect, and the will. For example, a young man meets a young woman. They are immediately attracted to one another. They both ...read more

    The Holy Spirit helps you overcome your fear of exceeding your gifts, your physical energies or your family’s ability to cope with extra attention. Moses struggled with such fears until the Lord spoke to him saying, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him

    Illustration:After a preacher died and went to heaven, he noticed that a New York cabdriver had been given a higher place than he had. "I don’t understand," he complained to St. Peter.

    Praying With Good King Hezekiah

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 21, 2021
     | 4,867 views

    Looking back on the last few months, do you feel like you’ve been praying more, or is it less? Is this a practice that has been strengthened with you, or has it struggled? Has the seeking become less diligent, or the knocking not so confident? A praying Christian is a living Christian!

    In Luke 11:9 Jesus says these words to us, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Simple commands, yet astonishing. For his words reveal the great privilege that we have when we pray. This is the heavenly power that we access whenever we ...read more

    Friends Of Intentionality

     | 468 views

    We all need friends who show up when life gets messy, friends who don’t just offer kind words but walk alongside us in our struggles. These “friends of intentionality” reflect the heart of Christ, offering love, presence, and action in the moments we need it most.

    Friends of Intentionality: When my family went through a rough patch in ministry, the way people treated us stood out. Most were kind and encouraging, some were hurtful and dismissive, but then there were a few, a precious few, who were what I call "friends of intentionality". These ...read more

    History’s two greatest battles were fought in Gardens. The Garden of Eden and The Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus won what Adam lost because He fought the battle on His knees. After Gethsemane, Jesus followed through but no longer struggled with the decisi

    Spiritual struggles like Nathan’s are common. Therefore, before we talk to people about being in right relationship with God, we may need to address their core beliefs about His existence and offer reassurance about the reasonableness of belief. Indeed,

    After his grandmother’s funeral, 15 year-old Nathan really started thinking about God. Because his grandmother had been a faithful Christian, the minister spoke about her eternal rewards. But talk of heaven and the afterlife caused Nathan to wonder, “How do we really know there’s a God and an ...read more

    The Heart Of A Servant Series

    based on 29 ratings
     | 9,693 views

    We as humans struggle with serving anyone but ourselves. Even as Christians we have a hard time having a true servant’s heart. Jesus shares some hard words, but they are also comforting and freeing when we realize the joys of being a servant.

    Let’s face it. We don’t really like being servants. We don’t like to serve others and we don’t like to be under another’s authority. For us in the U.S. much of that stems from the 1960’s when everyone was told to question authority. We were told that anyone over 30 was the enemy. Now no one born ...read more
