    A Commitment To Excellence Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 220 ratings
     | 59,402 views

    Does excellence matter to God?

    Does excellence matter to God? Does God care about quality? Is He concerned with how well things are done? Does it make any difference to God whether: the instruments are in tune; the worship team has rehearsed the songs, etc.? Some would say, "no." All God cares about is our hearts. It’s the ...read more

    In A Cave Licking Your Wounds?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Dec 13, 2002
    based on 40 ratings
     | 5,546 views

    It is easy in ministry to find a safe spot and hide and just spend your time licking your wounds. You must arise and quit this.

    IT IS ENOUGH? LICKING YOUR WOUNDS? NAW, GET OUT OF THE CAVE! TEXT: 1 KINGS 19:4 But Elijah went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under the juniper tree: and requested for himself that he might die; and said IT IS ENOUGH; now O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better ...read more

     | 4,743 views

    We are called to make and maintain peace

    Conflict is part of our lives here on earth. Our Lord Jesus Himself said, “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.”[1] The question is not if but when are we going to have conflicts. If you notice it, a small issue can even escalate into a big fight. It seems making peace is easier ...read more

    Passionate About The Church Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 21, 2016
     | 6,101 views

    Paul was passionate about the church. He had developed a personal relationship with them and knew their needs and concerns. Pastors, and those within the church, can glean much from the Apostle in this passage. We need the commitment and passion he had.

    Passionate about the Church Philippians 4: 1-3 In order to effectively lead a congregation of believers, the pastor must have a burden for the people within the congregation, while developing personal relationships with them. Paul understood this principle of leadership and provided a great ...read more

    The Benefit Of Diversity Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 19, 2017
     | 9,139 views

    As the Lord ordained and created the church, He placed individuals with varied gifts in the church as it pleased Him. Such diversity of gifts is essential for the church to function and prosper. We must embrace such diversity and celebrate these gifts.

    The Benefit of Diversity 1 Corinthians 3: 5-9 As we continue our series – Church: A New Testament Model, I was reminded of the various gifts and abilities within the church. Every believer is gifted of the Spirit for service within the body of Christ, and yet all are not gifted the same. This ...read more

    The Fundamentals Of Fasting Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 2, 2022
     | 3,379 views

    Fasting is something that creates uncertainty and anxiety in the minds of many. I think if we will take the time to consider what our Lord has to say and seek to understand fasting, we will become more comfortable with it.

    The Fundamentals of Fasting Matthew 6: 16-18 We have come to a portion of Scripture that is little discussed in our day. I don’t think I have ever heard this passage preached or dealt with at length. The focus of this portion of the Sermon on the Mount is fasting. That may be something the average ...read more

    The Commitment Of A Godly Leader Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 16, 2024
     | 1,079 views

    Godly leaders will face opposition and discouragement. There will be times when it seems as if you and the Lord are the only ones who care about the task at hand. In those times, you must remember your calling and remain committed to the task.

    The Commitment of a Godly Leader Nehemiah 4: 14; 19; 22-23 “Conversion is a turning into the right road; the next thing is to walk in it. The daily going on in that road is as essential as the first starting if you would reach the desired end. To strike the first blow is not all the battle; to him ...read more

    The Radical Gospel

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,614 views

    Is the Gospel we preach, and the God we preach the same as Paul had preached to the Thessalonians in AD 49?

    The first epistle to the Thessalonian, of which we just heard the first chapter, is the earliest of Paul’s writings. We read in Acts chapter 17 of his visit to Thessalonica (modern-day Salonika) in the year 49; of how he preached in the synagogue for two Sabbaths, but was then driven from the city ...read more

    The church must facilitate peace and reconciliation in various societies. There is the urgent need for individuals and societies past wounds to be identified and addressed in order for genuine forgiveness and reconciliation to take place as Joseph did.

    4th in a series from Ecclesiastes. Joy in life comes from the journey, not the destination.

    On June 5, 1965, the Rolling Stones released their single “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” which went on to be their first number one hit in the U.S. The song was a response to the rampant commercialism that the band had observed in America. But the idea behind the song was certainly nothing new. When ...read more

     | 42,400 views

    The opening line of Psalm 127 emphasizes a theme that runs through both Psalm 127 and 128 – without God’s direct and crucial involvement in its building and protection, no house, city, or family will survive.
