    We live in nation of "rights" but if my rights conflict with yours we can end up in court, in a church split or in a family division. How do we avoid letting our desire to defend our rights to ruin our lives?

    OPEN: I’m going to read from the words of an ancient document. When I’m finished I’m going to ask you what document these words are from (we put the words up on the screen and underlined the word “Rights” in the passage): “When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to ...read more

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Aug 5, 2015
     | 7,977 views

    When God's people pray, God's dispatches His angels to accomplish His plan. That means our prayers really do matter, so keep on praying until God comes through.

    Some time ago, I came across a prayer from an unknown author that I’ve learned to appreciate more and more the longer I live. It goes like this: Dear God, So far today, I've done all right. I haven't gossiped. I haven't lost my temper. I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or over ...read more

    God worked no miracles but worked through the seemingly unremarkable circumstances of life to accomplish His extra-ordinary purpose!

    “Esther Becomes Queen” Esther 2:1-23 We sometimes hear statements like; “As fate would have it” or “It just so happened” but in reality they reveal a basic lack of under-standing about the sovereignty of God. God is at work in every area of our lives; without violating our ability to choose and ...read more

    Have you ever thought what it might have been like for the disciples to experience the death of the One they gave up everything to follow? Try to visualize one of those disciples coming to meet with us here on Resurrection Day.

    Introduction Read Luke 24:1-9 Easter! What a glorious day for Christians. It means everything to us. In fact we worship on the first day of the week, Sunday, every week because Jesus came out of the tomb on that day. I hope none of us takes for granted what Christ’s resurrection means.

    Real Leadership Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Feb 22, 2019
     | 9,822 views

    If you want to be a real leader that inspires people to real greatness, define the vision, delegate the work; but most important, deny yourself just like Jesus did. That’s because real leaders are real servants.

    Several years ago, a 19-year-old man, desperate to get to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, hopped a bus and demanded that the driver take him there. Some say the man was drunk, others that he was disturbed. Either way, only a few of the passengers were concerned, and everyone stayed calm. That’s because ...read more
