    “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” - Albert Einstein God gives for the sake of giving. Giving, itself, is a virtue. It needs no other motive.

    Php 2:5-7 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. “Only a life lived for others is a life ...read more

    This is the first in a series on evangelism based on Bill Hybel’s book of a similar title. What is our motivation for reaching out with the gospel of Jesus?

    Flesh And Spirit: Love And Gentleness Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 21, 2009
     | 4,591 views

    Treating others with gentleness begins with understanding that God uses gentleness with us, and then moves to our being gentle with ourselves. Gentleness does shape the behavior of others.

    Why is it that some situations cause us to lose our tempers? Why do we sometimes lose all sense of reason and just get angry all over? Why is it that when we are trying to get someone else to do what we want them to do, we can barely control our rage? A few weeks ago I introduced you to our new ...read more

    The message deals with the basic instruction of spiritual gifts as found in I Corinthians 12:7.

    The Gifts of the Spirit Many believers differ as to the acquiring, importance, the application of gifts. Unfortunately, there are only three main passages relating to spiritual gifts. Scriptural references are found in Romans 12:3-8, Ephesians 4:11-13, and I Corinthians 12-14. The passage that ...read more

    You will be unable to recognize the signs of the times or hear the Spirit’s voice without and intimate relationship with Jesus and His Word. I believe the Spirit is saying to us today “be ready – watch - get ready!”

    Series: What is the Spirit Saying? Opening thought: I received this insight – knowledge to do this series while I spent a week at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. I answered this question by asking many ministers, pastors, Bible teachers and by prayer “What they think the Spirit ...read more

    It's About Time Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Feb 23, 2016
     | 10,803 views

    The sermon is based on 1 Peter 4.1-11. In addition to receiving the gifts of salvation and the Spirit, God has given us the gift of TIME. As all of His gifts, we are to be good stewards and correctly use the time we have been given.

    1. The Gift of Time See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16 David Jeremiah observed: Almost everything in life is "stoppable." Even gravity can be suspended temporarily. But one part of life cannot be stopped ...read more
