    The Collaboration Of Love And Faith Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 24, 2016
     | 7,782 views

    Love serves as a great motivator, and our faith is motivated by love. When our love is lacking or weak, our faith will be as well. Love and faith go hand in hand, working together as we strive to serve the Lord, consistent with His will.

    The Collaboration of Love and Faith 1 John 5: 1-5 Today we enter the fifth and final chapter of John’s first epistle. Consistent with previous teaching, John continues to deal with love, a subject he has spoken of at length. We have considered much concerning our love for the Lord and our ...read more

    What motivates us to not serve the Lord. There are so many hinderances in this world today. We have to be aware a stay focused on what God would have for us.

    Helps and hinderances in motivation for the Lord Jesus Christ. A few weeks and services ago we began to study and look at what might help motivate us for Christ. What were they? Bible prophecies concerning Jesus coming again. Heaven. Hell. Tonight, I want us to look at the opposite, not what helps ...read more

    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

    Thanksgiving is a time when we pause to celebrate and give thanks to God for everything he has given us, and the best way to give thanks to God is to pray.

    Thanksgiving was approaching, and a family had received a Thanksgiving card with a painting of a Pilgrim family on their way to church. Grandma showed the card to her small grandchildren and observed, “The Pilgrim children liked to go to church with their mothers and ...read more

    Jesus Does All Things Well Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 24, 2023
     | 3,398 views

    In this section of the Gospel of Mark, Mark shares two stories about Jesus ministering to two Gentiles. As Jesus ministered to them in unique and marvelous ways, we see how it is true that He does all things well. We can trust that Jesus will continue to do all things well in our lives.

    Introduction: A. I’m sure you have heard of the saying, “Jack of all trades and master of none.” 1. I wasn’t familiar with this version that says: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” I can see how that could be true. 2. I thought you would get a ...read more

    The believer's relationship to their local church depends upon whether they see their church service as the place where they arrive empty and expect to leave full, or arrive full and expect to leave empty.

    Empty Or Full? The Believer’s Relationship To Church by Dr. Andrew Corbett There are some places where it is good to turn up empty and leave full.

    On the surface the Parable of the Good Samaritan appears to be a simple story about being kind. It’s actually much deeper than that. This story is designed to show each of us how sinful and selfish we really are and that our only hope of going to heaven

    Knowing Our Neighbors Luke 10:25-37 Rev. Brian Bill 6/14/09 The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the most well-known parables of Jesus.

    Isaiah says, "Hinneni," or, "HERE I AM," when God calls. The only way he can have this confidence is through knowing the forgiveness of Christ. When God call us we respond like Isaiah because of the cross alone.

    Language is a funny thing. It’s amazing that we can share so much by just talking. Ideas, feelings, problems, joys, knowledge – all passed on through language. We don’t often stop to think about how amazing it is that we can talk. But we also don’t often stop to think of the limits of human ...read more

    Paul is motivated to preach the Gospel, even in the midst of harsh realities. Learn to see your ministry as significant and special, and do not build your worth or significance upon the state of your ministry.

    Paul did not really have a good start into the Christian life and ministry • Not like many of us, we are brought up in the church, we know Christ from young. We are placed in Christian families with good Christian environment. • But that wasn’t Paul’s experience. He fought Christianity and was ...read more
