    Sometimes our zeal for evangelism and for secular service is so great that we neglect the need for service within the Christian family.

    Christian Service Illustration A young child was sitting in class listening to the teacher explain a government generated lesson on what service means. The teacher carefully explained that, from a public standpoint, service is an important and useful action, which is performed to meet a specific ...read more

    This message examines Isaiah's call to ministry and his response, then applies principles to God's call on each of our lives. Isaiah's experience with the Lord, recorded in chapter 6, had a lasting effect on his life and ministry.

    Chocolate soldiers may look neat and taste delicious, but they don't help much in winning the battle at hand. God is still looking for men and women who are willing to step out of the comfort zone and do something for Him in this war zone of life.

    SERVICEABLE SOLDIERS 1 Samuel 14:1,6 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side.

    Since being connected to Christ gives us an opportunity for abundance, and since being like Jesus means becoming the person God wants us to be, then we should treasure humility.

    Let's start off today talking about Wi-Fi connections. With a good signal, we feel like the world is at our fingertips. We can digitally go anywhere. Unfortunately, we don't always have that good connection. It is frustrating to say the least. We might feel like a Wi-Fi connection is ...read more

    There is no retirement in the Christian life. Your calling is active and valuable to the King until your last breath.

    If you are still breathing there is time to do great things for God. Not necessary notable things. You may not get applause from your church, your name in the paper or the key to your city, but you can do great things. God's valuation is far different than man's. Matthew 10:42 And ...read more

    PRAYER AND SERVICE. Mark 9:14-29. We might like to enjoy our mountain-top experiences without the trouble of coming back down to the more mundane realities of everyday life, but we may not.

    That more excellent way is the exercise of the gifts in agapē.

    St John Chrysostom Jesus seems to have had a special place in His Sacred Heart for widows and orphans. That goes back, of course, to the OT, where, over and over, the solicitude of the God of Israel for the poor and the stranger is made tangible. Of course, it is clear that by the time Jesus was ...read more

    In God’s kingdom it’s how we handle our everyday lives, not whether or not we make a big splash, that truly matters.

    Anybody remember the riots that broke out some years ago when Sony’s PlayStation 3 was scheduled for release? Nearly 400 people in Boston’s Copley Place mall overwhelmed mall security.

    Christians cannot be transformed by default. ... When it comes to worship, we have to put forth an effort because sincere worship does not happen by default.

    Romans 12:1-2  I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.  (2)  Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by ...read more

    We have been forgiven in Christ for the sins that we have committed and confessed. But the underlying condition out of which these sins arise - what’s to be done about that?

    “Out, damned spot!” may be one of the most widely recognized lines Shakespeare ever wrote. I wonder why? In a more innocent age it might have been for the forbidden thrill of saying “damn.” But of course that doesn’t apply any more, does it. It’s one of the milder epithets available. If that’s the ...read more
