The High-Value Saint

Contributed by Engleburg Toney on Aug 20, 2022

Kevin "the Godfather" Samuels, revived the idea and coined the phrase of the High-Value Man. He formulated six principles that create the High-Value Man, but Christ has given us six principles to make us High-Value Saints. We find these principles in the parable of the Hidden Treasure.

Three months ago, the world of social media lost an icon. Kevin "the Godfather" Samuels, YouTuber, image consultant, life-coach, dating expert and influencer, died on May 5, 2022. Rolling Stone magazine reported that Samuels had amassed 1.4 million subscribers on his YouTube channel ...read more

Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021

Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more

He Came To Seek And Save The Lost Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 6, 2022

THIS morning what I want to do or at least attempt to do – as we take a look at Luke chapter 15 is to reveal the heart of the Father in regards to lost people; How does God feel about the lost – what is his desire for them (Luke 15 contains the parable of the lost; sheep, coin & son).

He Came To Seek And Save The Lost What Jesus Came To Do – part one In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. He was in the beginning with God. He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn't make. Life itself was in him, and this life gives light ...read more

Take Hold Of Eternal Life

Contributed by Paul Sizemore on Sep 28, 2016

Jesus has just said, "No one can serve two masters; you cannot serve God and money" (Luke 16:13). Then Jesus goes on to share his parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). Paul's words to Timothy (I Timothy 6:6-19) support Jesus' claim.

“Take Hold of Eternal Life” Amos 6:1-7; I Timothy 6:6-19; Luke 16:19-31 Proper 21-C, September 25, 2016 All three of the Scripture lessons read in our worship service this morning could easily remind us of that old adage: “You can’t have your cake and eat it too!” ...read more

Facebook friends really aren’t friends, they’re casual acquaintances on the internet. But real friendship is a powerful thing that Jesus not only gave us, but taught us to use for His kingdom. What does Friendship mean to Jesus and to us?

OPEN: I read about a woman who telephoned a friend and asked how she was feeling, "Terrible," came the reply over the wire, "my head’s splitting and my back and legs are killing me. The house is a mess, and the kids are simply driving me crazy." Very sympathetically the caller said, ...read more

We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 7 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 6, 2023

We live in a corrupt world. Truth has stumbled in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. Satan permeates right through society especially in the judiciary. There is little justice any more. We look at ways Christians are penalised by Satan’s system, but evil is promoted.

WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 7 We continue this study of the schemes Satan uses to infiltrate all aspects of humanity. His influence is everywhere. We need wisdom and reliance on the Lord for the battle we are engaged in. We will examine two more of these schemes. ...read more

Loving The Lord

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019

Are you a good Samaritan? We might try to help other people, but is that really what Jesus was trying to teach when he told the story about the good Samaritan? Look to what leads up to this parable and see how Jesus' story is so much more than just a lesson teaching us to help other people.

“Help other people.” When did you learn that lesson? That is one of the very basic lessons that we normally learn at a very early age. Someone drops something, you pick it up. Someone falls down on the playground, you help them up. If there is someone who is need, you share what you have been ...read more
