    Where have you parked your life? Illegal parking brings with it certain penalties such as tickets, towing, charges and fines. As disciples of Christ we need to be aware of where we have a tendency to park spiritually

    All drivers at some time or other experienced the lovely frustration of driving around trying to find a parking spot. Sometimes you need to park in order to transact whatever business or appointment is pending. Sometimes you just park! Our life as believers and disciples of Christ is viewed as a ...read more

    Like the rich young ruler, we can hold on to what we have, and spend our lives full of regret and guilt, or we can let it go, and we can turn and follow Jesus.

    Once upon a time there was a gardener who grew an enormous carrot. So he took it to his king and said, "My Lord, this is the greatest carrot I've ever grown or ever will grow. Therefore I want to present it to you as a token of my love and respect for you." The king was touched and discerned the ...read more

    Presenting Our Vessels

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,719 views

    God can provide the ability to complete any task, but sometimes sacrifice is required. Whenever we make ourselves and our resources available to God, then His power and grace will flow through our lives and pour into our situation.

    Have you ever experienced a time in your life in which you were going through trials and hard times? Probably everybody has. Perhaps during this time you felt distant from God and spiritually dry. Dwight L. Moody used to say, “The only way to keep a broken vessel full is to keep it always under ...read more

    Most wars are fought for one of three reasons—or a combination of this reasons: territory, ideology, theology. The word “territory” doesn’t always mean land. The Pharisees had carved out a territory, which they intended to defend at all costs (John 11:45-53).

    The Price Of Freedom

    We must understand that Christ paid the ultimate price for our freedom from sin and the clutches of Satan. The price of our freedom from sin was paid in blood. How do we respond to that sacrifice will ultimately determine our eternity too!

    Opening illustration: When I talked to some young men shortly before D-day during Gulf War II, I observed that they were scared. None of them wanted to die. However, the vast majority expressed their conviction that the cause for which they were fighting was right and worthy of the risk. Queen ...read more

    As Israel found that after their defeat at Ebenezer the way to greatness was through repentance, prayer, and sacrifice, so also this church needs to build, using the same ingredients.

    They were a good people if not yet a great people. They were a good people, with much to be proud of. Over the years they had faced many obstacles and had overcome them.

    Be Ready To Receive Help Series

    Jesus received people according to how they were convicted to serve Him. However, we as human beings often miss the bigger picture, and forfeit opportunities to assist people in being used by God to further the kingdom.

    I want to begin by sharing something from the apostle Paul. Paul, in speaking about what a person should give to the church in the way of monetary offerings; he once stated, “For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have” ...read more
