Not Our Talents But Our Use Of Talents

Contributed by Howard Gunter on Nov 12, 2017

How we use our gifts are more important than their monetary value. It isn't the size of the gift, it's the motive in the giving!

Not Our Talents BUT Our Use of Talents Matthew 25:14-30 This parable provides us with a message that can be and often is misunderstood. The talents referred to in the parable are monetary units. A talent was not really a coin at all but rather an ingot, weighing around 75 pounds. At that weight ...read more

In this message we will unpack the first two words in the greatest prayer ever prayed, and as we do we will be blown away at the depth Jesus packed into these 2 words.

Wake Up, Church! Awaken Our Commitment Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 20, 2021

We struggle with commitment in our world today. Marriages, for example, last as long as life is convenient. Commitment to God has dwindled as well. If we are going to make a difference in the world, and set our country right, we need a solid commitment to God.

Lack of commitment is something that runs rampant in our world today. People do not truly stand for anything or are even truly committed to anything. They are blown around like fall leaves in a windstorm, swirling around, going this way and that. (Chameleon Commitment By Neal Gracey Copied from ...read more

Foregoing Our Rights Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 8, 2022

Paul did not use his rights because of his concern for the witness of the Gospel and the welfare of the people he is reaching out to.

Everyone has rights. We can stand up for our rights. We ask for what we deserve. • Yet it is not always necessary for us to do so. There are times when we need to forego legitimate rights for a higher good. I came across what was trending two days ago – “Don’t Treat Us Like We Owe You a Living” – ...read more

Stooping To Stand

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jan 21, 2013

Jesus is always our example. At the last supper, he showed us service -- even to the one who would betray and the one who would deny. Here we see the Servant; the Served; and the Significance so we can do likewise.

1. Aim High! There is a story about two friends who went coon hunting. It seems that Jim prided himself on getting a treed coon down with a single shot from a 22. Tony decided to play a trick and adjusted the sights so it would shoot a little low. One night they were out hunting and pretty soon the ...read more
