    Gifts And Growth

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 21, 2023
     | 1,516 views

    In these verses we learn that our Lord Jesus Christ has given spiritual gifts to each believer. And that there is a purpose for the gifts. Too often many believers do not use the spiritual gifts that have been given to them. Surely our Lord does not want us to waste them.

     | 2,623 views

    The evil and wickedness we are seeing in the world is breaking God’s heart. And He’s looking for a people to work with Him to give those who don’t know Jesus an opportunity to avoid the lake of fire.

    Turn with me to Genesis 18. I want to look at Genesis 18, but probably not for the reason that it was written. Oh, so you are going to take scripture out of context? No. You are getting ready to make scripture mean something that it doesn’t mean? No. It’s just that there so much that we can learn ...read more

    When we consider God’s purpose for our lives as a result of God’s grace, we will see the consequences of life as opportunities to serve God and to be effective witnesses for the gospel.

    Do you see every circumstance of your life as an opportunity to be a witness for the gospel? Throughout your lifetime, you will have many opportunities to serve Christ as a witness for the gospel. There will be times in your life when it is easy to serve the gospel, especially when everything ...read more

    The Woman At The Well Series

     | 54,896 views

    Keep your eyes open for opportunities in your everyday life to share the gospel with people, to offer them living water, so they too can worship God in spirit and in truth.

    Well, I’m sure you’ve all heard a sermon on the woman at the well a number of times. I think I’ve probably preached on it here at least twice before, so what I want to do today is not to look at all the features of the story, but just two or three important things that come out that might be ...read more

    The Jews had a problem with Jesus healing the cripple by the pool on the Sabbath. Jesus used the opportunity to try to show them that he was the real deal; and quite frankly-they were not.

    Your personal best requires that you take on the mindset of an athlete. An athlete runs to win. They exercise disciplines for the win when the door opens for opportunity. They sacrifice for what they believe in.

    Everyone has heard the phrase “Practice makes perfect” or at least I think they have. It’s such an old adage, I’m not sure if anyone knows who said it first. Regardless of who coined the phrase, the Bible is full of wisdom concerning this very notion of practice and results. ...read more
