    A Wednesday Evening Outline, looking at Why we serve ..... "Often we forget the why of ministry. We work on refining the “hows” of ministry, yet neglect and sometimes forget why we are doing ministry. Paul, in his closing remarks wants to remind us of

    The Poverty Mindset

    Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Apr 13, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 42,712 views

    One false concept is that poverty has some mysterious refining qualities. Some believe that it is spiritual to be poor. That is not the way God lives and neither does He want us to live that way. Just look how He blessed Abraham. The Bible teaches us that

    THE POVERTY MIND-SET Simply put, being poor is not having enough food, clothing, and shelter for your family. It is an urgent unmet need for more money and material possessions. Being poor can also be described as being without a dream that will take you out of poverty. One false concept is that ...read more

     | 2,867 views

    Peace with God is nothing to be taken lightly; it took God’s immense sacrificial love to attain, and its effects in our life can be surprising, it includes walking through difficult times.

    Proven Love (Romans 5:1-11) 1. We Vasiceks are in the midst of living out the implications of the verses we are about to study this week.I can’t say what God is teaching others, but it has been an intensive therapy for my patience and hope muscles. 2, You know the rough experiences we had this ...read more

     | 2,651 views

    Cana was mysteriously chosen to be the site of Jesus' first two miracles in Galilee. Cana means "a rod for measuring." At Cana a desperate man met Jesus. His perspective was changed and his gold-like faith emerged.

    THE TESTING AT CANA: DO YOU MEASURE UP? John 4:39-54 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There was a man in prison for robbery of a bank. He’d never told the police where he’d hidden the money. 2.

    God is very involved in the lives of His people, developing and refining Christ-like character in each of us. The Book of James has much character-shaping wisdom for us to receive and apply to our lives, as does the book of Proverbs. Let's take a look.

    Careful what you hoard or desire unless you are a hindrance to victory instead of part of the victory.

    Joshua 7:19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. 20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and ...read more

     | 10,008 views

    What? “Good and bad alike” invited to the palace? The door is wide open and all of them are let inside: can you imagine what happened there, the horrendous stampede? Costly carpets, marble, gold, everything clean and suddenly dirty beggars and hungry peas

    “…Everyone, good and bad alike” Matthew 22: 1-14… Mathew 22: 8-10: Then he said to his servants, ’The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.

    based on 9 ratings
     | 37,265 views

    Many have gotten their priorities confused. So much time is spent worrying about "things" that we lose sight of what truly matters. We seek gold while dismissing God. We seek health while neglecting holiness.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: Matthew 6:26-33; Psalm 77:1-15 ILL. In the ancient Persian folktale, "Aladdin," Aladdin is the son of a poor tailor. After his father's death, a wicked magician, who claims to be Aladdin's long-lost uncle, persuades ...read more

     | 10,055 views

    Today in our passage of Scripture we’ll see Jesus’ disciple John give us a glimpse into what Heaven will be like. Revelation does speak of heaven as having streets of gold, and pearly gates, and these incredibly beautiful stones that will adorn heaven.

    “What Will Heaven Be Like?” Revelation 21: 3-5 January 24, 2010 Intro: A Sunday School teacher was teaching his class about heaven. He asked the children, “If I sold my house and my car, had a huge yard sale, and gave all the money to the church, would that get me into ...read more

     | 3,658 views

    There were 10 step-brothers, and they hated their step-brother. They stripped away Joseph's coat of many colors. They could not strip away the blessings. God replaced the coat of many colors with a new coat of authority and a ring of gold... the dreams came true.

     | 3,240 views

    SELDOM IN LIFE DO WE COUNT THE COST BEFORE WE ACT. We must consider price, cost, worth and value before we act. Did Achan consider the cost of the gold and new clothes? Do we consider the cost of our choices?

    MUCH GOODS, LITTLE TIME...
