    'christian' Means 'like Christ'

     | 22,977 views

    Too many church goers think they are Christians because they do not know the real definition of the word "Christian".

    We were created by God to worship Him. That is our purpose. God’s plan is for us to worship Him. But, there is something else we are supposed to do, too. We are supposed to be like Christ. If you would take a random poll and ask people in America what they think being a Christian means, most ...read more

    Bottomline: Joy flourishes when we treasure knowing Christ above all else.

    Over the past several weeks we’ve been working our way through Paul’s letter to the Philippians and we’ve discovered how joy isn’t something that simply happens to us. It’s a deliberate response to the realities of who Christ is and what He’s done in our lives. We've explored how joy can ...read more

     | 206 views

    True greatness is found in serving others with everyday acts of kindness, recognizing and loving Jesus in the overlooked and ordinary people around us.

    Some of the most breathtaking moments with Jesus arrive in ordinary clothes. A paper cup of water handed to a weary worker. A brown-bag sandwich shared on a bench. A text sent at midnight that says, “I’m here.” He has a way of walking into our Mondays and Market Streets, our waiting rooms and ...read more

     | 22,047 views

    Our amazement at God’s grace grows the more we see that it comes at Christ’s expense, which means that grace is totally undeserving by us, that grace is only in Jesus, and that grace is for God’s glory.

    God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God through which the Holy Spirit touches our hearts are the words he breathed into the Apostle Paul to write, recorded in Ephesians 2: But because of his great love for us, God, ...read more

    Here is the supreme argument for Christian giving. Grace giving flows out of the self-giving and self-impoverishing of the Son of God on man's behalf.

    2 CORINTHIANS 8: 9-15 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] THE GRACIOUS GIVING OF JESUS CHRIST [Philippians 2: 1-13 / Mark 12:41–44] Paul has been using the Macedonians as an example but they were an example only because they followed Christ Jesus' example.
