     | 1,872 views

    As Christians, we have a purpose and a duty. We have been given a charge during our life here on earth. We are to minister before God.

    As Christians, we have a purpose and a duty. We have been given a charge during our life here on earth. We are to minister before God. How many believers understand what our ministry consists of? Apostle Paul told Corinth they were to be ministers of reconciliation. Since we have been reconciled ...read more

    God wants us to recognize the grace He has bestowed on us, appreciate the gift He has blessed us with, and set out to diligently and faithfully carry out the work He has entrusted into our hands.

    In Matthew 25: 14-30, Jesus told a parable of a man who gave talents to three of his servants. The first received 5 talents, the second servant 2 talents and the third was given 1 talent. The talents were not shared arbitrarily; haphazardly, blindly, aimlessly, by chance, by coincidence or ...read more

    What About That Third Servant?

    Life on this earth is hard, and acting as a Christian sometimes makes it even more demanding.

    Saturday of 21st Week in Course So we’ve all probably read or heard sermons on this parable from Matthew’s Gospel, and typically–to cut to the conclusion–we are told that Christ has given each of us a measure of talent or gifts, and we’d better use them properly. If we do, we get rewarded; if we ...read more

    Investing Our Talents Series

     | 5,503 views

    Believers are supposed to invest their spiritual gifts, and multiply them by winning other people to faith in Christ. If we fail to labor in the kingdom, then perhaps we don’t know Christ after all, and we will be cast into outer darkness.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled, “Investing Our Talents,” and it’s taken from what is called “The Parable of the Talents.” In reference to this passage, Donald S. Whitney states, “[God] said in Matthew 25:14-30, that we are accountable for all the talents we have received and how we use them for ...read more

     | 156 views

    God values faithful stewardship of whatever we’re given, no matter how small, and calls us to trust Him and courageously use our gifts for His glory.

    Some of God’s best work begins with something small. A seed the size of a freckle. A lunch packed by a mom. A shepherd boy with a sling. A widow with two coins. Our Father loves to place grace in small packages and watch courage unwrap them. You may feel your life is “just” a handful of minutes ...read more

    God entrusts each of us with unique gifts, calling us to faithfully use them for His purposes, resulting in joy and shared blessing.

    Hello, friends. If you’ve ever held a newborn, signed a mortgage, received a promotion, or sat beside a hospital bed, you know the hush that falls when life reminds you: what we hold is holy. It may show up as a paycheck or a paintbrush, a diploma or a diaper bag, a toolbox or a tender testimony. ...read more

    God entrusts each of us with unique gifts and opportunities, calling us to faithful, courageous stewardship that honors Him and blesses others.

    Some mornings it feels like heaven has hung a “Help Wanted” sign over your heart. You sense it when you tuck in a child, when you clock in at work, when you linger over the needs of a neighbor. The King of the cosmos has placed something in your hands—time, talents, and treasures—and whispered, “I ...read more

    Facing The Challenge Of A Warped Society

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 29, 2023

    Paul expected all of his congregations to listen to their minds and order their hearts in the right way. He told the folks at Thessalonika that they had no need for anyone to write them about loving their neighbor.

    Saturday of the 21st Week in Course 2023 Ordinarily we tend to associate St. Paul’s teachings on chastity and lust with the letters to the Corinthians. But that’s shortsighted. Remember that even as far back as Plato and Aristotle, the virtuous life was associated with men and women who would ...read more

    Be careful how you answer!

    Mar 14:29  But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.  Most Christians would say something like Peter. Some might even profess their willingness to die, but almost all of them would be weeping after their denial. We deny Him many times in our lives and ...read more

    Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 6 Of 7 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025
     | 242 views

    Parts 5 and 6 go together but had to be split. Here we look at the results of harvest 100-60-30, contention in churches, and gospel preaching. The parable of the sower is a remarkable one and we are seeing this as we go. We look at how the parable of the talents are related.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 6 of 7 This next message continues from the previous one. We begin by looking at why some seed produced 100, some 60, some 30. [[EXAMINING THE HARVEST RATES FROM THE SOWING]] One very primary application of this parable ...read more

    Matthew 25:14-30- “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 ...read more

    There are really two halves to today’s message. First, I want to speak on the importance and need for growth in a believer’s life, and second is the importance of self-control.

    Do you have everything under control? I mean everything within you – do you all of you in control? Let me just get real serious, real quick here: what is the one item in your life you have trouble controlling? Do you have total self-control in the area of food? Drink? Sex? Your tongue?
