    Our Lord forever is pouring out on us His grace and goodness so that we will learn to do the same thing for Him and for other people.

    Feast of St. Lucy 2018 The constant temptation human beings face is to turn God’s intention for man upside down. Instead of us following the plan to be remade into God’s image, we are constantly trying the impossible. We attempt to remake God in our own image–venal and selfish and cruel and ...read more

    An Introduction To Worship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 15, 2019
     | 14,674 views

    What is worship? Is it prayer, praise, or preaching? These are elements of worship, but they do not necessarily constitute worship in and of themselves. Worship is an attitude that motivates action, not a mere activity.

    An Introduction to Worship John 4:22-24 Today, I want to lay the groundwork for a series regarding biblical worship. The verses I read are likely familiar to each of us. (Illus. context.) Just as the woman at the well, many today have no concept of biblical worship. I want to spend the next ...read more

    Why I Quit Tithing

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 23, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,284 views

    Because God owns it all, the question should not be, "How much should I give?" But rather the question should be, "How much should I keep?"

    Most people simply don’t understand tithing. To many Christians, it seems like some sort of country club due. Another bill in the long list of monthly expenses. I hear questions like: “How Much Are You Supposed to Tithe?” “Do I tithe on my gross income or net income?” “My pay my tithe on my pay ...read more

    Give And Take

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,488 views

    Givers trust in God, rather than in themselves; they are focused outward. Takers have not learned to trust in God and focus on their own needs.

    Anybody remember the televangelist scandals of the 80’s? Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Oral Roberts and his highly publicized plea for - what was it, $8 million? - to keep God from striking him dead. Remember the uproar in all the secular news media and the shame felt by so many evangelicals at being ...read more

    Jesus is the perfect sacrifice, securing redemption once and for all.

    Have you ever found yourself in a place where you felt completely out of place? Maybe you’ve walked into an event and you were way underdressed, sat in a meeting where everyone else seemed to know what was going on, but you were clueless, or visited a culture where everything felt foreign. It’s ...read more

    Don’t give Him grudgingly, don’t give Him sloppily, pull out that which is special in your wallet and give Him right away.

    Cheerful giver! 2 Corinthians 9:7“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” We have fasting prayer on Saturdays, the school children and teachers also attend the meeting; however, I have to ...read more

    How to come to Christ There was a man who traveled to see Mother Teresa a few years ago. He found in her home pictures of multiarmed Hindu gods on the walls. He wondered why she would have such idols in her place. He later found out that was the way the Catholic theology ...read more

    Erasing the excuses for being exclusive.

    Today is National Ice Cream Day. Did you know that when ice cream was invented the Quakers thought it was sinful. According to them it had to be sinful. Nothing could taste that good and not be sinful! That kind of sums up the perspective of a lot of Christ followers. If anything is fun - it ...read more

    This sermon addresses how we tend to give God our "leftovers" instead of our best.

    The passage of scripture that we’ll be studying today was written around 432 B.C. and it was proclaimed to the children of Israel in city of Jerusalem. Open your bibles with me if you will to Malachi chapter one. I want to give you just a little background on what led up to this message from the ...read more

    God is raising up His Church to reclaim the Seven Mountains of Societal Influence. He is calling the Church back to the basics. Our spiritual foundations need some work. This message forces us to take a serious look at what we call the Gospel today.

    Luke 14:21-23 INTRODUCTION • God is serious about Kingdom building. No excuse for non-participation will do. • We are Ambassadors (carriers of the message) of Faith DEFINITIONS • Compel - To drive or urge with force, or irresistibly; to constrain; to oblige; to necessitate, either by physical ...read more

    We offer many excuses. We tend to limit what God can do. God says the night may be dark, but God can handle this problem. God can use unlikely sources.
