Better Than Silver, Finer Than Gold!

Contributed by Larry Grant on May 1, 2022

The disciples had no money to give. Had they had it, they would have gladly given it. But what they had was of more value than alms. And, best of all, they were willing to share what they had.

This Generation - What's Going On

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jun 6, 2022

It is not a lack of money or the lack of laws, but the lack of God in our society that has produced this violence and until we turn from our wicked ways, run back to God and His ways evil will continue to abound.

The Joy Of Giving Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

God puts a really interesting proposition in front of us. He says, “Put me to the test” when it comes to your money. “Try it my way,” God says, “and see if my way works.”

We are doing a yearlong challenge in our church in 2020. We are challenging you to share the story of Christ’s love with friends, co-workers, and family members who don’t know Christ. When you do, we invite you to drop a ping-pong ball into the container, if you will. Our church hopes to see 5,000 ...read more

The Inheritance Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 12, 2022

Many people wonder what they can leave their children as an inheritance. You can give them land, money, possessions and power... but nothing compares to the inheritance that God says is one of the most important. What is that inheritance?

This sermon series is entitled “Things That Keep Us Up At Night” and we’re looking at the question: “What do I leave my children when I die?” I’m getting to the age where I’ve got to consider writing a “Last Will and Testament.” I have to decide what kind of inheritance I’m going to leave my ...read more

Correcting Our Double Vision Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 13, 2023

This message addresses the problem of spiritual double vision; being focused on the things of God and the things of the world simultaneously. Jesus talks about treasure in heaven or earth; being full or light or darkness; and pursuing God or money.

I have entitled our message this morning, “Correcting Our Double Vision.” Double vision, according to Yale Medicine, is understood as being when someone sees two of the “same” image instead of one.(1) But today, I want us to think of double vision as seeing two “separate” images at the same time. ...read more

The Unforgettable Perfume - Mark 14:1-8 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 27, 2024

Motive

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on May 25, 2005

Apparently the false teachers in Corinth were suggesting that Paul’s unwillingness to accept support from the church was simply a coverup. They thought that he really had a love for money, and the offering he claimed to be taking for the suffering saints

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: H. L. Gee somewhere tells of a tramp who came begging to a good woman’s door. She went to get something to give him and found that she had no change in the house. She went to him and said, “I have not a penny of small change. I need a loaf of bread. Here is a pound ...read more

All Jazzed Up

Joys False Or Complete Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 10, 2004

For Epiphany: As Richard Foster wrote about "Money, Sex, and Power", is it possible the Wise Men’s gifts are warnings to Jesus and His family about these things? Complete joy comes from what Jesus did with these issues.

Who we are and what we have are two entirely different things, but we confuse them. We insist on identifying who we are by what we have. Who we are and what we have are not the same thing. We are more by far than the material goods we possess. And yet everywhere we are identified by our stuff. ...read more
