    Now’s The Time To Serve

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,538 views

    Too many believers are waiting for the perfect scenario before they will serve the Lord. It’s an excuse that is often used for idleness and spiritual inactivity - the excuse that it’s not an ideal time or situation in which to serve.

    There is no ideal place to serve God except the place where He has set you down. - Eric Alexander(1) The Lord wants us to bloom where we’re planted, and to serve Him faithfully right where we are. He doesn’t want us to sit around waiting for the “perfect situation” before we serve Him. If we ...read more

    How Should We Serve The Lord?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 19, 2022
     | 3,043 views

    In the verse of scripture that I read to you, it states something that I wish could be true of every Christian.

    Look at this verse again. We read, “For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God.” GOD SAVES US FOR TWO REASONS: (1) He does not want us to perish. John 3:16 makes that clear. We read, “For God so ...read more

    Always Remain Watchful Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,170 views

    The two parables here serve to caution us about slacking off in kingdom work. We need to keep our waist girded and be ready for service; and be alert and watchful at all times, so we don’t miss opportunities to share the love of Christ.

    This evening’s message is entitled “Always Remain Watchful,” and it’s taken from two short parables commonly called “The Parable of the Faithful and Evil Servant” and “The Parable of the Thief.” In these two short parables Jesus spoke a word about faithfulness; the kind of faithfulness that leads ...read more

    A Head Table Mentality Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,092 views

    A leader is not automatically the honored guest. He or she must take the lowest seat at the table and learn to serve others. Only then, will Jesus move that person higher. If someone grabs the best seat, he or she will be moved lower.

    This evening’s message is entitled “A Head Table Mentality,” and it’s taken from a parable that discusses the valued position of the meek and lowly. This parable promotes Christ-like leadership over the worldly model of leadership in which power and control seems to be the normal style. Kenneth ...read more

    Excuses

    Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Jun 24, 2022
     | 2,212 views

    No excuse is sufficient to keep us from following where Christ Jesus calls.

    Excuses – Luke 9: 51 - 62 Intro: A farm boy accidentally overturned a wagon load of corn on a country road. A farmer who lived nearby came out of his house to investigate. “Hey, Willis,” he called out, “sorry about your troubles. Just come into the house and have ...read more

    Greatness In Serving Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 6, 2021
     | 4,078 views

    The disciples had to learn, often the hard way, that following Jesus does not mean favoritism from Him. They had to learn that service towards God and others is to be done with a loving, gracious attitude and not with an ego.

    You have to admit that James and John thought a lot about their ability to serve the Lord Jesus. They wanted places of honor in the Kingdom of God without coming to grips with the hardship that follows everyone who gives their lives to Him. The disciples and all who would surrender their lives ...read more

    A Hand Up...not A Hand Out! (Acts 3:1-10)

    Contributed by David Darst on May 17, 2021
     | 6,207 views

    I have come to this conclusion: People do not need a “hand out” . What they really need is a “hand up” So many people would be content to be carried around in their affliction rather than walk on their own two feet. The Worst part is many Christian’s are content to keep carrying them.

    I. The Routine (1) Peter and John were still in the two by two mode -- they were going about their religious routine on their way to the temple to pray. “Ninth hour” approximately (3PM) in the afternoon. Some interesting observations: It wasn’t the time of the afternoon sacrifice; but rather the ...read more

    Excel In Your Gift, Grace And Ministry

    Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Aug 22, 2022
     | 8,253 views

    God wants us to recognize the grace He has bestowed on us, appreciate the gift He has blessed us with, and set out to diligently and faithfully carry out the work He has entrusted into our hands.

    In Matthew 25: 14-30, Jesus told a parable of a man who gave talents to three of his servants. The first received 5 talents, the second servant 2 talents and the third was given 1 talent. The talents were not shared arbitrarily; haphazardly, blindly, aimlessly, by chance, by coincidence or ...read more

    Living Like A Follower - Philippians, Part 5 Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 28, 2022
     | 1,549 views

    Each one of us should be involved in improving our relationship with God. We should be committed to knowing what His Word calls us to do, and we set out to do this with ONE purpose – to develop “a proven character”; to show people Who it is we serve … and WHY we willingly serve Him!

    “Living Like a Follower” - Philippians, Part 5 Philippians Sermon Series, Part 5 Philippians 2:12-24 Introduction - Reminder about our level-set from series opener: 1. Christians must reflect the joy of Christ in everything we do 2. This means you and I are to make the Gospel ...read more

    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,697 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

    Serving God Is Not Optional

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jun 20, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,182 views

    In one sense, God gives us the freedom and option to serve Him or not. We know the outcomes of that choice, so it is not really an option to reject Him.

    Serving God Is Not Optional Patriots have their eyes open to the destruction of our republic. Even the people who are asleep or are not patriotic know something is wrong. Our forefathers knew that having God as the basis of our society was essential, not optional. They knew that when people know ...read more

    Obedience, Faith, Jesus And The Centurion

     | 1,031 views

    Three stories: the centurion's faith and humility, the response of Jesus, and the healing of the anonymous mom.

    Saturday of the 12th Week in Course 2023 There are really three stories in today’s Gospel. The first is about the Roman centurion asking for healing for a valued servant, paralyzed by some accident or illness. It shows that the centurion had compassion.

    A reward is viewed as something received in this life or in the hereafter.

    Rewards – Matthew 10: 40 - 42 Intro: William Barclay in his commentary on Matthew writes the following story: There was once a cobbler who very much wanted to be a pastor. But, because of career and family demands, he could not follow his dream. He was asked to ...read more

    Jesus isn’t saying that ambition is a bad thing, or that they/we shouldn’t aspire to be great. He’s telling them/us that true greatness is something else.

    Ann Henderson came home from her doctor’s appointment looking much the same as usual. Maybe she was a little quieter, but not enough to cause comment. The whole family was home for dinner that night, for once. She was grateful. She would only have to say it once. She waited for a moment when nobody ...read more
