    Different Roles, Same Assignment

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 9, 2021
     | 6,836 views

    There are some in the body of Christ who see those with public roles (ministries) in the body of Christ as being more valuable to the kingdom than those who don’t. But this is simply not true when you see “the big picture.”

    Over the years, I’ve known Christians who, because they didn’t have public ministries, believed that they were, somehow, second tier to those who did. They were not preaching. They were not teaching Sunday school. They didn’t lead the choir. They served on committees. They were not unhappy. They ...read more

    We’ve talked a great deal about stewardship, and using our gifts for God. That’s vital to understand. Your giftings are entrusted to you by God. And you must make use of them for his glory.

    "Once, a man said, "If I had some extra money, I'd give it to God, but I have just enough to support myself and my family." And the same man said, "If I had some extra time, I'd give it to God, but every minute is taken up with my job, my family, my clubs, and what have ...read more

    The Conflict Of Prayer Vs Pride Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on May 4, 2025
     | 396 views

    Pride is a terrible snare – it is a destructor with no limits. As soon as pride takes root in your heart, it will absolutely exalt you over others because it gives you a false sense of worthiness.

    Isaiah, Part 15 The Conflict of Prayer vs. Pride Isaiah 38:1-8, Isaiah 39:1-8 Dismiss kids for Children’s Church and Nursery Introduction - Welcome to Seasons!

    The church must release our self-righteousness, pride and entitlement if we are going to offer Jesus to our community.

    Letting Go of Our Golden Tickets Remember the classic children’s movie, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?” It starred Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.

    Sin Is A Heart Problem! Series

     | 7,828 views

    How God tells you to live is infinitely more important than how others think you should live! This is what Pharisees couldn't grasp. The challenge for us also is: Do not get a big head about it and become arrogant and/or unteachable.

    Sin … It’s a Heart Problem! Mark 7:8-23, 1 John 1:8-10 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for ...read more

    The devil and his workers will not appear as satan & deceivers. They will appear to be on your side & on God’s side. But they will take your attention off God, off Jesus Christ, off sharing His Gospel & place attention on man & his frailties.

    2 CORINTHIANS 11: 11-15 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] THE MASQUERADERS [Matthew 24: 1-5 / 1 John 4:1-3] A attack on the purity of Paul's motives was a disguise for the false preachers actions. They acted like they were concerned for what was right so that they could divide the unity of the ...read more

    Mother Teresa spent her life living out her faith, serving others – may it be said of us that we did the same. When we serve others we plant seeds of love in their hearts. When we serve others the fruit of love grows in our hearts.

    A Simple Path, I Corinthians 16:14 Introduction “We have all been created for greater things – to love and to be loved. Love is love, to love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Works of love are works of peace and purity. Works of love are always a means of becoming closer ...read more
