How has Christ changed who you are? Has there been an extreme makeover, let alone a makeover, making you into a new creation.

Lesson 8: Watch Out For Pride Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 1, 2010

Pride is a sneaky thing. It's the default program for humans and is at the root of the problem in Corinth, and often at the root of our problems as Christians.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines sarcasm as: "A form of irony in which apparent praise conceals another, scornful meaning." An example might be to someone who is always late and you say to them: "Oh my, you're right on time!" Now if I told you that the Bible has several excellent examples ...read more

Why Is It Necessary To Consecrate Ourselves For Service?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 6, 2024

Too often we put everything toward the church building and programs, and at the same time we are denying the church body.

Previously, David had instructed Solomon about the Temple. Now in this passage of Scripture, the people bring gifts for the Temple. It is feasible for us to be so fixated on a church building that we have disregard of the genuine church, God’s children. Yet, the contrary reaction, ignoring the ...read more

Listening And Doing

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 26, 2020

Acting on faith waters faith. Listening to sermons and reading the Bible and doing nothing in response leads to...nothing. God wants way more than nothing for His people. So He's given us the gift and calling of being doers of the Word and not only hearers.

Sometimes people say that God is too big or ...read more
