The Profitable Servant Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 20, 2012

I want to be a good servant for Jesus, but in this passage Jesus says I can do all kind of great ministry and still be an "unprofitable servant." What two things does Jesus say can stop me from being the profitable servant for Chris that I want to be?

OPEN: The KJV translates Luke 17:10 this way: “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.’” I don’t want to be an “unprofitable servant”. I want to be a profitable servant for ...read more

We have become terrified of the ...read more

Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Unknown God Made Known, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 12, 2021

Paul told the Athenians that God is not limited in power or His will and plans nor distant from His creation. This went against everything the Greeks had believed about the gods and goddesses they worshipped but with whom they had no relationship.

In his message to the Athenian elders concerning the true and living God, Paul shows us the characteristics of spiritual leadership in his application of responsibility and accountability for what is not just a teaching on God but a strategic plan in the invisible war between Almighty God and ...read more
