    Humble Service

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 6, 2022

    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

    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

    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. It is important for us to maintain a life of prayer, but also of service. There is work to be done. ...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

    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. Nearly a dozen police cruisers responded to the call. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and the crowd dispersed when ...read more

    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

    The place of service is a place of honour, blessings, and spiritual fulfilment. God does not call people to sit on the sidelines; He calls them to serve. Whether in the church, in our communities, or in our daily lives, we must be willing to serve with humility, diligence, and commitment.

    The second in a four part series on generous giving, "Lifestyle of Generosity," yip God owns it and how are we going to respond?

    Today I’d like to start with a question before answering it. Who owns what, what can we give to God? The answer is this and it may come as a bit of a surprise, God owns everything, it all belongs to Him, including our skills and our capabilities.

    A call to sober-minded watchfulness in these last days.

    THE GRACE OF SERVICE. 1 Peter 4:7-11. Peter has already told us the ‘last days’ began at Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:16-18). Now he tells us that “the end of all things is at hand” (1 PETER 4:7a). Although he wrote those words nearly two millennia ago, that sense of imminence remains. The question is: ...read more
