    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,122 views

    Develop a daily discipline of noticing others, praying for their needs, and taking action to show them they matter.

    Today, we're going to talk about how we can make a difference in the lives of others. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own lives that we forget about the people around us. But Jesus wants us to notice others and show them that they matter. So, let's dive into this topic and see how we can make ...read more

    Making Connections, Not Resolutions

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Jan 4, 2010
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,944 views

    Instead of making New Year’s resolutions, we need to develop a lifestyle of connections that will enable us to be Jesus’ true disciples.

    Each year around this time of year, 40 to 45% of American adults make one or more New Year’s resolutions. But only a week later, on average, we’ve already abandoned one-quarter of those resolutions and by the middle of the year, less than one-half are maintained. No wonder someone once described ...read more

    The Sermon On The Mount (Part 17) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 20, 2020
     | 4,406 views

    What does worry accomplish for us? Nothing. It robs us. It robs our joy, our peace, our patience, our ability to trust and rely on God. It robs our ability to think rationally and find solutions to our problems. No wonder Jesus tells us to not worry.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part 17) Matthew 6:25-34 I did a sermon a couple of years ago titled, Be in the Now. It's about being in the moment. One of the points I made involved the extended version of the Serenity Prayer. In it, we see this line, "Living one day at a time, enjoying one ...read more

    Our Accountability Before God

     | 3,181 views

    In his series of revival messages, the late evangelist and teacher Dr. R.A. Torrey (1856-1928) sets the foundation of all he will preach by presenting God in all His splendor, creativity, rationality, and holiness, and that we will be held accountable before Him one day. Be ready.

    God is Great! That thought comes out in the Bible from the first verse to the last. He is majestic, infinite, and wonderful beyond words! This entire universe, of which we something new about every day it seems, is His creative work. The supreme difference between the teaching of the Bible and ...read more
