Renewing Your Mind About Leadership

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Nov 3, 2022

Leaders must: 1) Be Right with God (Acts 20:28a), 2) Shepherd the flock (Acts 20:28b), 3) Guard the flock (Acts 20:29–31), 4) Study and pray (Acts 20:32), and 5) Be free from self-interest (Acts 20:33–38).

Acts 20:28-38. 28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. 29 I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and ...read more

Woman Thou Art Loosed

Contributed by Larry Grant on Mar 20, 2022

As we watch Jesus deliver this sick woman from the bondage of her sickness, we get a picture of what He can do for us, if we will wait on Him! This woman waited 18 years for her healing and the Bible records that it happened while she was in the House of Prayer on the day of Worship.

As The King Goes, We Go (Psalm 20) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 1, 2022

3 different applications: what do we trust in, how to view our leaders, and what it means that Jesus is our King.

Today we have the privilege of working through Psalm 20. This psalm is a little different from most that we've studied so far. The only one sort of like it, up to this point, is Psalm 2. This is a song that would've sung by the congregation-- by Israel-- for its Davidic king. Picture ...read more

Receive Your Compassionate Shepherd’s Care

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 22, 2024

May the Holy Spirit work in us a deeper understanding of one of the ways our Good Shepherd provides compassionate care for us. He does that through the shepherds he sends to us. He does that to equip us for the life of service he calls us to live.

“The LORD is my shepherd.” “I am the Good Shepherd.” “I am Jesus’ little lamb, Ever glad at heart I am.” Generations of believers have loved those kinds of descriptions of God’s love for them and of their relationship to God through faith in Jesus. Shepherd and sheep. Sheep and shepherd. ...read more

Sermon: Striving To Lead With Integrity And Skill

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 30, 2025

With love and skill, David the shepherd cared for his flocks. As the king of Israel, David would care for God’s people. Despite the relentless pressure they had faced from their enemies and their woeful record of persistent rebellion, God had never abandoned them.

A Life Of Freedom (By Pastor Jose Gomez Jr.)

Contributed by Jose Gomez Sr. on Sep 12, 2005

There is freedom available from sin and weakness. But, there are no human actions or works that help save us. It is only through the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made that we can ever hope to be boundless, limitless, and truly free.

Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more kindness and forgiveness? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we became Christians and were baptized to become one with Christ Jesus, we died with ...read more
