    Are You Willing To Be Offered?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 19, 2022
     | 849 views

    We are to shine like lights in a shadowy world. And to do that, we may have to be offered up for the sake of others.

    In light of everything that Christ was willing to do for them, Philippians 2:12-18 explains how Christians ought to live. The directive to “work out” salvation is to let the new birth in Christ manifest itself in one’s actions. Believers should serve God without complaining or griping as part of ...read more

    This is the story of when Moses was tending sheep and saw a bush burning that was not consumed by the fire.

    A Servant People

    Contributed by Spencer Homan on Nov 19, 2009
     | 3,510 views

    This sermon focuses on Jesus’ challenge for an "Upside Down Kingdom" challenging us to be first by being last. This is a call to except that challenge and become first place in the things God wants us to be excellent in.

"Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask." 36 "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked. 37 They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory." 38 "You ...read more

    Our opportunity for service may be in sight in a moment, and bypass us in another if we’re not ready to run to obedience. Philip ran to do God’s bidding.

It had begun with a very public demonstration of God’s power in the coming of the Holy Spirit, Peter and the others had boldly proclaimed their risen Lord ...read more
