Wednesday - An Extravagant Giver And A Ruthless Taker Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 21, 2022

These two stories of the extravagant giver and the ruthless taker are excellent examples of what we should and should not be. Both people were very close to Jesus, but ended up having very different reactions to him. Jesus loved them both in spite of what they did to Him.

A. We might oversimplify things by saying that the world is made up of two kinds of people: givers and takers, but there is some truth to that statement. B. I love hearing stories about big tippers and I try to be a good tipper myself. 1. A man named Greg Rubar was a waiter at D'Amico’s ...read more

And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: ...read more

Horizontal Or Vertical Divide

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Feb 18, 2023

God doesn't divide between us horizontally, that's what we do. God divides between us vertically. Saved or not saved. In Christ or not in Christ. He shows no favoritism, and we shouldn't either.

This church was so large that they had two of everything—two Sunday morning worship services and two Sunday School services. Now, I have ...read more
