Walking Towards Spiritual Fitness

Contributed by Steve Taylor on Jun 9, 2018

Spiritual growth requires effort and diligence, and it takes time. It’s not a one shot deal. There’ll be constant battles. But just like physical fitness, you’ve gotta keep getting back out there, and start back working out, your body, mind and soul.

Do you ever feel like you’re slipping with your faith? You just can’t seem to keep steady with doing what you know it takes to be a good Christian. You just can’t be that perfect projection of what’s perceived to be the “perfect Christian”. Well believe me, true spiritual growth requires effort ...read more

The Work Of The Holy Spirit In The Life Of A Christian Series

Contributed by Bill Walker on Feb 25, 2017

On one extreme you have those who fervently practice what we call Pentecostalism and on the opposite extreme those who embrace only God’s Word as their model for thought and practice.

THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN Someone has said, “You will never truly know the power of God until you need the power of God.” I think that statement equally applies to God’s Holy Spirit. As we mentioned earlier in this series, too often Christians and ...read more

Practicing What We Preach

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000

The charge of hypocrisy, of not being sincere and genuine, of not practicing what we preach, is a charge that continues to plague the church

Once there was a pair of identical twin brothers; one was a pastor, and the other was a physician. It was almost impossible to tell the two men apart. A woman approached one of them on the street and asked, "Are you the one who preaches?" "No," came the answer, "I'm the one who practices." ...read more

Practice Makes Perfect (2018)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 30, 2021

Are we children of God? Or do we just claim the name with charades and dismiss the character? Isn’t that what today’s text is all about? On a daily basis, we are called to live up to the name because the way we live is supposed to illustrate who Jesus is!

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Text: I John 3:1- 7 The story is told of Alexander the Great confronting a coward: "Alexander the Great had a soldier in his army who also bore the name Alexander. But this man was a coward. Alexander the Great called him before him and said to him, "You ...read more

A Practice Run For The Great Commission Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 10, 2021

Jesus sent His apostles to the local towns and areas to proclaim the Gospel message, heal the sick, and cast out demons. They put what they have been taught by Him into action. We need to do the same if we're serious about our faith.

As we continue our journey through Mark's gospel, we come to an episode that could be described as a "trial run" of what the apostles and those after them will be doing in fulfilling Jesus' command to preach the Gospel to every living creature (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; ...read more

Father, Son And Holy Spirit: Practical Implications Of The Triune God

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Jun 18, 2017

The doctrine, importance and value of the triune God is incalculable for born-again Christians. Denying this doctrine rejects the whole of Christianity.

Humorist Garrison Keillor, host of the radio show “A Prairie Home Companion,” said this of love: “We should not think that we have figured this out, because it is not a problem, it’s a mystery and always will be.” “It is not a problem, it’s a mystery, and always will be.” We’ve become so advanced ...read more

The Practice Of Reading & Reflecting On The Bible Series

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Nov 15, 2007

Readiing and reflecting on Scripture helps us grow closer to Christ and conforms us more into his image.

We are currently in a series looking at our need to grow spiritually. Growing spiritually means we receive God’s grace to know him better (in other words it’s relational) and we mature to be more like him (we reflect Jesus’ character and actions, doing what he would do).
