In Pursuit Of Portion

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Mar 23, 2024

Our life's pursuits ultimately define us. King David was a man after God's own heart. King Solomon ultimately pursued other things. Being in pursuit of God as your portion will lead you into the fullness of His goodness today as well as for an eternity.

It’s used 14 times. In most of these instances, it refers to the portion of an ...read more

The Heart Of A Servant

Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 9, 2023

Good morning church! I want to explore the valuable lessons on having a servant's heart that we can learn from 1 Timothy 6:11-12. As we look into this passage, let us be inspired by the example of the apostle Paul and reflect on how we can cultivate the heart of a true servant in our own lives.

Point 1: Pursue Righteousness (1 Timothy 6:11a) A servant's heart is rooted in a deep desire to pursue righteousness. It involves a deliberate choice to walk in obedience to God's commands and live a life that aligns with His will. Proverbs 21:21 - "He that followeth after ...read more
