    The Smiths

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,302 views

    Demetrius “Smith” represents someone whose judgement is clouded by selfish desires. Alexander "Smith" represents someone who doesn't want to be alone in his sin; who makes it a point to cause other Christians to stumble.

    I’ve entitled our message for this evening, “The Smiths.” Have you heard about the Smiths? Take for instance Zipporah Smith. “Who’s that?” you may say. Well, her husband, Moses, was used by God to deliver the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt. You see, Zipporah was a Kenite, and the word ...read more

    Give Your Life Away Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 2,035 views

    There are at least four core commitments for Christian living: (1) abide in the Word, (2) pray your heart out, (3) be killing sin, and (4) give your life away.

    Our lives tell a story—a story about who we are and what we value, where we’ve come from and where we’re going, what we want and what we’ll do to get it. And what most of us do is, we make “the story” of our lives about us. But God makes “the story” of our lives about Christ. Someone has said, ...read more

    To our cry, “How long O Lord?” comes the message of Obadiah, that God is in control and that He is working out His will and purpose through it all, or what He says through Obadiah at the very end of this letter, “The kingdom shall be the Lord's.” (Obadiah 1:21)

    The Kingdom is the Lord’s Book of Obadiah Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScnGFMIzeVY As Christians we’ll have enemies, and our spiritual maturity can be measured by the kind of enemies we have. What we need to make sure of, however, is that our enemies are the same as God’s enemies, and ...read more

    Paul encouraged the Corinthians to examine their own faith. What does that look like?

    WHO'S IN? There are a lot of questionable boundary markers for the Christian faith. - If you read the obituary page, you will discover some marvelous realities. Among them: a. Upwards of 90% of people are going to heaven. b. People are members of church despite the fact that they haven’t ...read more

     | 3,110 views

    The way the world understands being blessed couldn't be more different from the Bible's definition. Spoiler alert: The Bible gets it right.

    Blessed Broken Given, Week 2: Blessed vs. #Blessed Genesis 1; Matthew 5 Good morning. I’d like you to have your Bibles open to two different places. (Weird, I know). The first place will be Genesis 1. Then, I’d like you to put a bookmark in Matthew 5. We are continuing the series we started last ...read more

    In heaven, then, when we succeed in becoming like Christ as His servants and siblings, the Father will give us honors beyond anything we could hope for.

    Monday of the 19th Week in Course: St. Lawrence One of the directions we deacons can give at the end of Holy Mass says “Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.” The idea is to go out from the Eucharistic celebration and bear fruit, bringing the Gospel to your friends and colleagues.

    It is an act not of juggling balls on a stage, but of carrying eggs from a barn.

    A yoke is a wooden frame fitted on working animals to evenly balance the load on each individual animal and allow them to work as a team. Jesus wears the yoke and we are yoked to him. A teacher read to her class the text, “My yoke is easy.” “Who can tell me what a yoke is?” she asked. A boy ...read more

    It's easy to be disillusioned about God when he doesn't do what we expect but in reality we are disillusioned about ourselves and don't really know God.

    Have you ever been disillusioned? What does it mean? To open someone’s eyes; to shatter someone’s illusions; to pop or break someone’s bubble and to prick or put a pin in someone’s balloon. This expression refers to the fragile nature of both soap bubbles and human ...read more

    God will give us the strength and desire to let go of the things that hinder us from serving Him. If we follow Him, He will bless us spiritually. In order to be first with God, we have to be last in the eyes of the world.

    Let's take a walk down memory lane for a moment. Some of you, especially the older members of this congregation, may remember a famous comedian named Flip Wilson.

    Churches also can look good on the outside, but when you “taste” what they're doing, you find it's only a facade. That was the case with the church in Laodicea.

    How many Coca-Cola drinkers do we have here today? How many Pepsi drinkers? How many of you like Dr Pepper? How many of you like Mr Pibb?
