    We have no reason to worry about chasing after the things of this world when we have a Father who provides everything we really need.

    Torn between two Worlds Matthew 6:24-34 Have you ever felt like you were getting mixed messages about what makes life worthwhile? What are the things that can make you truly happy?

    In 1 Kings 3:5 God gave Solomon opportunity to ask whatever he wanted. Because he petitioned according to the will of God, his request was granted and God blessed him abundantly. If your are seeking first the kingdom of God, expect God's goodness.

    To encourage us to trust in God's provision, put Him first in our lives, and not to worry about our needs because He cares for us and knows what we need.

    Good morning! We're about to dive into a message that I believe is going to resonate with each and every one of us. It's about the worry that tends to creep into our lives - the anxiety that sometimes feels like a heavy weight on our shoulders. But as the beloved Christian author Max Lucado once ...read more

    First Be A Follower Series

    We are called to follow Jesus, not seek a position. The 3 principles of ’followership’ is (1) hear His call, (2) lay down your own agenda, and (3) fix your eyes on Jesus.

    Someone once asked a woman what she did for a living, and she said, "I’m a follower of Jesus Christ; disguised as a waitress!" WE ARE CALLED TO FOLLOW JESUS, NOT SEEK A POSITION. When Jesus first called the disciples, they were not called to be leaders. „« He did not call them into leadership ¡V ...read more

    The New Year has already jumped upon us and time has already begun to fly. Many of us have made New Year resolutions and decided that weight watchers may be our only hope.

    Seeking God is a lifelong quest for every Christian.

    At the beginning of a new year, I like to get back to basics, to talk about the fundamentals of the Christian faith. What are we really doing here?

    Ask And Seek The Right Thing! Knock At The Right Door! Series

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Jul 22, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,704 views

    I've heard the exhortations to Ask, Seek and Knock in isolation from the Golden Rule. They are irrevocably connected. One concept leads to the other. Jesus points to the way God treats us in order to show us how treat each other.

    Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. The standard message on this passage is, we need to ask, and when we ask God ...read more

    The goal of service is not to seek numbers or results but to build one another up in faith for His glory, not our own. Let us seek first the kingdom of God and let our good deeds point to the Father, He may become greater, and I become less (John 3:30) for His honor and glory, amen.
