    God’s call to service may not bring what the world calls success. Remaining faithful to God’s call and to His Word is true success.

    Don’t underestimate what God can do through one man who is willing to serve Him. Don’t procrastinate when God speaks to you. When He speaks, He is addressing a need He sees in you.

    When Solomon was king of Israel he built a beautiful temple in Jerusalem. • People from all over the world came and saw this wonder and the Jewish people treasured the Temple because it was the place where God dwelled with man, the place where they worshipped Him. • But as time went by, the ...read more

    Jesus was rejected in His hometown because the people there had grown proud and unteachable. They were so familiar with their version of truth that they rejected real truth.

It describes what happened to Jesus when He returned to His home after having ministered to others outside of His hometown. Let’s read. Let me tell you a story. ...read more

    FINDING GOD A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind. Or is it a disturbed mind? A twisted mind? I am a strong believer in messy desks. It is not so much clutter to me as leaving things where they are so that I can find them again and continue working on them. A messy desk tells me that ...read more

    Learning Courage In Christ

     | 5,972 views

    Fear walls us in and makes us like the servant of the Master that buried the talent he had been entrusted with in the ground. Faith sees ourselves as gifted and bold in Christ.

    Today’s lesson finds a man digging a hole in the ground. We learn that a man going on a journey entrusted a portion of his wealth to three of his employees. Two of the three employees invested their wealth and received commendable returns. The third was afraid and hid his in a hole in the ground. ...read more

    We have received the same message at the empty tomb as the women did. What will we do with it? Keep it a secret? Run away in fear? Go and tell?

    The Unfinished Story Mark 16:1-8 Easter 2009 Do you know the best way to make sure news spreads quickly? Tell someone NOT to tell anyone else! That’s what makes gossip so tempting.
