    God’s Forever Family

    We are often misunderstood in this life. Often as believers seeking to serve God, we are misunderstood. Sometimes we are even opposed by well-intentioned people. Now, when those people are member of our family, it makes it increasingly difficult.

    God’s Forever Family Mark 3:31-35 31 Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him. 32 A crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You.” ...read more

    The principle of self-sacrifice is foundational to the doctrine of the Christian life. In our lesson today I want to examine how to be a living sacrifice.

    Scripture For the past few weeks we have been studying Romans 12:1-2. In Romans 12 the Apostle Paul begins applying the doctrine that he has been teaching for the previous 11 chapters.

    Put Off The Old, Put On The New: Tips For Christian Living In Ephesians 4 Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jan 27, 2024
     | 1,216 views

    I want to live a true, real Christian life. I hope you do too. So we’re going to search out in the scriptures some of the most practical teachings we can find. We’re going to look at the dos and the don'ts and hopefully we’ll find a better understanding of what faith looks like.

    What does it mean to be worldly? “The Bible defines worldliness by centering morality where we intuitively know it should be. Worldliness is the lust of the flesh (a passion for sensual satisfaction), the lust of the eyes (an inordinate desire for the finer things of life), and the pride of life ...read more

     | 994 views

    We are consumed by God completely… while our obsession used to be selfishness and self destruction and we were very excited about that, we now pursue knowing God with abandon.

    My wife tells me that I sometimes become nearly obsessed with certain things. I get so focused on something it consumes me. I fall into the pool after staring into it too long. Are you like that? I have a bit of an obsessive, addictive personality. I want it and I want more. I want to learn more. ...read more

    Prayer Keys - Humility Series

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Feb 16, 2012
     | 9,303 views

    Humility is being totally consumed with glorifying God and not at all concerned with glorifying self. When I am totally consumed with glorifying God and not at all concerned with glorifying self, I pray as God wants me to pray.

    PRAYER KEYS - HUMILITY One Christmas afternoon, a pastor's wife dropped into a chair and said, “Boy! Am I ever tired!” Her husband looked over at her and said, “I’ve been on my feet for most of two days. I led two special services last night, three today. I’ve ...read more

     | 2,562 views

    For a reprobate mind with no redeeming virtues seek not the common faith in the kingdom of Christ Jesus in heaven or on earth. Man's self-destructive nature in self-actualization of violence to death cannot take away the saving grace of our Savior.

     | 826 views

    God values humility and is drawn to those who earnestly offer themselves to Him. We must practice honest self-talk, intentional self-awareness, and adopt an "Us for Them" mindset to embrace humility in our lives.

    Today, we're going to talk about something that Jesus taught – humility. But first, let me show you something. (Bring out a deflated balloon and a fully inflated balloon) See these balloons? One is full of air, and the other is empty. Keep these in mind as we go through our message today. So, Jesus ...read more
