    What Is Greatness?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 827 views

    Jesus our God came to serve. And even to die, to give his life as a ransom for many! To die for us, to empty himself of divine power and authority and serve those in need. That is true greatness.

     | 6,144 views

    In this message, we will learn that the heart is the source of all evil desires, conflicts, rivalries, and all selfish ambitions. When we resolve the root cause of the conflict, we can solve the problem. Only Christ can transform our hearts.

    Wars and conflicts are everywhere especially clearer when you read the online newspapers. There is conflict among nations, among races, among politicians, even among religious beliefs. Those conflicts are rooted to so much hatred, antagonism, bitterness and hostilities. In addition, hot tempered ...read more

    Longing For The Good Old Days

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 19, 2020
     | 3,652 views

    Many Christians long for a bygone era of glory - the early church, perhaps, or the 1950s. This sermon looks at that desire to go backward and where we should focus instead.

THE EARLY CHURCH. - Acts 2:1-4, 41-47; Acts 15:1-41; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13. - Probably the first time that comes to mind is the early church as the “good old days.” - And as we look at Acts 2:1-4, 41-47, there is much to rejoice in. - But we have to ...read more
