Servant Leadership (The World’s On Fire) - Mark 10:41-45 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 28, 2024

In 2020, our President was impeached, economy shut down, 40 million people lost their jobs, widespread corruption at the highest levels of our government are being exposed, and there are riots, beatings, and murders across the country. Jesus shows us that all these rise out of the same root cause.

Mark 10:41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you.

Marks Of The True Church: Truth Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 17, 2024

Christians are to be immersed in the truth as they are sanctified in this life. We are immersed in truth as we immerse ourselves in the Word of God and as we invest ourselves in the congregation wherein the Spirit of Christ has placed us.

Tragically, truth has been largely sacrificed for what has come to be known as “truthiness” in our world today. Perhaps that has always been the case, but it is certainly apparent that this is the case ...read more

You have the words of eternal life.’” [1] Christ will never compel anyone to remain as one who is counted among the faithful. If a person is determined to “quit” pretending that ...read more
