Learning To Trust In A Skeptical World

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Oct 12, 2021

I believe one of the greatest issues facing our world today, to include the church, is the fact that trust has all but disappeared in relationships. I believe the book of Micah shows us the tragedy of a society where trust is absent; however, the book also shows us how to regain that which is lost.

In recent weeks I have been pondering a very important question: "What is the common denominator for understanding healthy relationships? We could postulate many words (e.g., friendship, tolerance, respect, appreciation, etc.). I then contemplated, what happens if trust is absent in a ...read more

Accountability Of Shepherds

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Nov 17, 2019

The same holds true today, as it did in Ezekiel's day. While no leader is totally responsible for what other people do, they have a major responsibility to lead others in the right way be treating them right and pointing them towards Jesus.

Ezekiel 34:18-19 Heavenly Father. I pray for your mercies on the spiritual leaders of our day who have gone astray.

The Lord Will Perfect That Which Concerns Me

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Nov 19, 2021

The worst thing that can happen to anyone is for the mercy of God to depart from the person. But when the mercy of God is on you and with you, you can be confident, you can be assured, that God will certainly perfect ALL that concerns you.

Our text for today’s message is Psalm 138:8 which says ‘The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands’. This Psalm is a Psalm of David. When David said the Lord will perfect that which concerns him, he wasn’t praying to God. ...read more

Reconcile: Jesus Is The Reconciliation Artist Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 17, 2019

A new relationship becomes possible when we recognize what God has done in Jesus to reconcile us. Conflict leads to reconciliation and back to the cross.

This our second message in our 3 week series entitled “Reconcile.” Jesus once said, the scriptures say an “eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, do not resist the one who is evil.

We’ll get back to that. Today’s message will be centered around Acts 1:4-5, and we’ll look at ...read more
