    The gospel is not only completely true, but also completely sufficient.

    My favorite button on the computer is the "undo" button. It’s like a little time machine. Have you ever wished you could turn back the clock - wipe the slate clean and start over? In fact, this is a universal human urge, one that’s reflected in our popular culture. [Examples: ¨ "Back to the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,624 views

    We could all use a little boost every now and then. Some synonyms for “boost” are: improve, make better, advance. Sound refreshing? Sound invigorating?

    NEED A BOOST? INTRODUCTION: We could all use a little more encouragement in our lives, don’t you think? We get run-down, we get disheartened. We wonder if what we’re doing really matters to anyone. We could all use a little boost every now and then. No, not the energy drink, although ...read more

    *(Revised: December 2010) Paul exhorts us not to rest on our laurels, but to keep improving on what we are doing as a church. (Can also be used as a "farewell" message for Pastors leaving their church)

    EXHORTATIONS ARE UNIQUE EPILOGUES THAT ANNOUNCE THE JOYS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WELL-DOING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SOUNDING THE ALARM TO WARN AGAINST GROWING CONTENT WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF FRUITFUL MINISTRY. THE CHURCH IS A LABOR OF LOVE AND CANNOT SEPARATE THE TWO BY LABORING WITHOUT LOVING OR ...read more

Joey Adams shares his blessing for the New Year with us: “May all your troubles last as long as your resolutions.” 2.

    At the beginning of the new year many people make resolutions. Most focus on changing their lives, doing better, making improvements. A new beginning must begin with each one of us individually.

    A NEW BEGINNING “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2Corinthians 5:17) 1. Many people want a change, and most people wish they could start all over with a whole new beginning. The good news is . . . you can! ...read more

    Very often the answers to life’s questions only result in still more questions.

    The story is told of a man who took an evening flight on which dinner was to be served to the passengers.

    Blessed… Praise Be!

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 14, 2026
     | 81 views

    The Beatitudes expose neutral faith, declaring where life with God truly exists and refusing to let blessing remain comfortable.

    “Blessed…” That word is so familiar to us that it barely registers anymore. We hear it and we nod. We hear it and we assume we know what comes next. Blessed — we think — means approved. Comfortable. Favored. Safe. Almost instinctively, the response follows. Praise be. We say it quickly. We say ...read more

    There was a difference in the teaching of Jesus and that of the religious leaders.
