Graduation Sunday: How Do I Make A Difference? Series

A Life Of Ingratitude (Thanksgiving Sermon)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

It is sad that today in churches we find many people who have not REJECTED salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ, but they have NEGLECTED the salvation they have in Christ.

We all know a great deal about REJECTION and rejection can be very painful. We normally learn about rejection when we are a child, but if we do not learn anything about it as a child, we probably learned something about it when we began dating. Illus: I read this list of the top rejection lines ...read more

Which One Am I?

Contributed by Troy Borst on May 14, 2025

Spiritual self-awareness as a believer in Jesus means living in tune with God. It does not mean seeing others with eyes, listening to others with ears, and then responding with a judgmental attitude based on what we see and hear. None of us are as righteous as we think we are.
