    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 9, 2021
     | 5,108 views

    One of the great gifts that God has given us is His Church. God uses our fellow believers to help us grow in Christ—and to know His Will.

    A Christian businessman’s job suddenly ended. He couldn’t imagine what he was going to do or why he was laid off. He said, “I prayed and asked God to show me if I should take that job, but I never heard anything. So, I took it.” A pastor friend asked him, “What did your wife think about you ...read more

    We need to distinguish between needs and wants. Poverty can help us decide what we truly need; then we become eager to make happen what we truly want. Our relationship to God determines our priorities. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    Some things I need, it is true. But many of the things I think I need I do not truly need. I only want them, but persuade myself I need them. They are not needs; they are wants. And, deeper than that, many of the things I think I want I do not truly want. I just hope they will make me feel ...read more

     | 3,611 views

    If we have not experienced God’s blessings of security and abundance, maybe we need to examine our giving.

    ... Running Over Malachi 3:6-12 We are fond of telling our Children "It is more blessed to give than to receive." We try to teach them that generosity is an important value and as long as they can, they should be free handed with their own blessings from God and pass them on to others. We try ...read more

    At a church fellowship supper, some Christian men were talking about their jobs. One of them spoke up and said, “I have a good job offer but it would require that I would have to move too far from the church.”

    The man he was talking to said, “Take the job, you can always find another church somewhere else!” This man’s answer is typical of many people in our age. That is, forget about commitment, you can always find: • Another spouse • Another job • Another home • Another church This seems to be the ...read more

    Give And It Will Be Given To You

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jul 3, 2003
    based on 114 ratings
     | 103,201 views

    Giving is an attitude that allows us to give all that we are, have and possess in the Holy Spirit to provide greater glory for God.

    Give and It Will Be Given To You (Luke 6:38) We cannot expect our situations to improve unless we learn how to improve our attitude about giving. Giving involves far more than money. Giving is an attitude that allows us to give all that we are, have and possess in the Holy Spirit to provide ...read more

    A Church’s Mission: The Purpose Of Church At The Mission

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2011
     | 10,204 views

    Jesus was sent by the Father and Jesus then sent His disciples. How does Jesus’ calling connect with the church’s calling? How does God use the unique character of a local church to impact its community for the gospel?

    Let’s consider the purpose of Church at the Mission today? Why are we here? What is the mission of Church at the Mission? Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more

    Paul’s point is that the Holy Spirit is the controlling influence motivating and directing the lives of believers. As we sort through these participles, we can identify at least three results of the Holy Spirit’s influence.

    The Spirit-Filled Life Ephesians 5:15-21 Quick Discussion: What are the two most significant influences on your life? “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with the Spirit.” At the heart of this contrast is a life lived under the influence of … those influences, ...read more

    Should We Shun

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 17, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,771 views

    There is a need to return to the concept of shunning. Indeed, we should shun those whose politics are against Scripture even if they are called Brethren,

    Having spent some time around Amish and Mennonites, I know they are pretty much the only groups that still practice shunning. Most are probably afraid of lawsuits, spitting the church or have a slightly off view of grace/love. We speak truth in love and some times we need to practice tough love ...read more
