    This is week six of our series from Hebrews 11. Here we look at what made Rahab a candidate for the Faith Hall of Fame.

    "Lord, Prepare Us For Your Advent”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Feb 3, 2025
     | 522 views

    Just as many of us travel during December, Advent reminds us of Jesus' "travel plans" to serve as our Savior. We'll use the Apostle Paul's travel plans to visit the Thessalonians as our guide.

    It’s estimated that a record 80 million Americans traveled 50 miles or more over the Thanksgiving Holiday this year. Of course, the majority (a record 71.7 million) of those traveled by car. But today they anticipate that a record-breaking 3 million people will travel by air. Yes, travel plans ...read more

    When we have begun the journey towards a better mind, learning the secret of contentment, we can begin to see the beauty of giving. Out of our contentment we find it is actually part of our worship to give.

    GROWING A GENEROUS HEART There is a natural progression to these sermons we have been hearing. Growing a beautiful mind led easily into growing a contented spirit. As we have learned to rejoice in the Lord and control our anxiety through prayer we laid a foundation for being content in whatever ...read more

    Heart Bypass (1986)

    We are divided over whether to invest more in charity or more in the church program. A key element must be the compassion that gives from the core of our beings.

    It seems as though just about once a week someone will phone from one of the charity agencies -- the Purple Heart, the Good Will, the Disabled Veterans -- and I always know when they are calling, because they will ask for Mrs. Smith. Nobody asks for Mrs. Smith when they could ask for Margaret ...read more
