Serving Jesus' Way Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 29, 2022

When Jesus washed the feet of the disciples, he broke cultural conventions but also provided an example for his followers to emulate.

Surprised by Underwhelming Expectations I rarely introduce myself as Pastor. It’s not that I don’t want people to know the role I play, but I don’t want my title to become a barrier. Sure, it may open some conversations, but it may also hinder others as people might think I’m some holy man - ...read more

Teaching Others How To Serve

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 4, 2022

Now’s The Time To Serve

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022

Too many believers are waiting for the perfect scenario before they will serve the Lord. It’s an excuse that is often used for idleness and spiritual inactivity - the excuse that it’s not an ideal time or situation in which to serve.

There is no ideal place to serve God except the place where He has set you down. - Eric Alexander(1) The Lord wants us to bloom where we’re planted, and to serve Him faithfully right where we are. He doesn’t want us to sit around waiting for the “perfect situation” before we serve Him. If we ...read more

Overcoming Obstacles To Serving God

Contributed by Mark Mitchell on Sep 9, 2023

We all have fears that inhibit us from serving God. Fears of the world, fears of ourselves, fears of the enemy. For God gave us a spirit, not of fear, but of power and of self control. 2 Timothy 2:17 When we set aside our fears we make room for the power of God to work through us.

Godly Passion (v.19) A. A drive provoked by emotion B. Jesus was driven by an anguish over the multitudes who He saw as having no shepherd and as a result He said the fields are ready. (Matthew 9:36-37) C. In this passage Paul was driven by passion to the ...read more

You Gotta Serve Somebody

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 9, 2019

When we become Christians, we are set free from our bondage to sin, but we must then strive to be slaves of righteousness. Everyone either serves sin or God. You gotta serve somebody!

Introduction: A. I always liked the Far Side cartoons, and so I begin with this cartoon because of the irony of it. 1. Here’s a man who is a slave on a Viking ship, and he thinks the slave driver will care that he is getting a blister. He was in for a rude awakening! 2. Slavery is an ugly subject ...read more

The Dangers Of Mediocrity In Serving God Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Oct 2, 2025

Mediocrity in serving God dishonours Him, limits spiritual impact, and brings divine displeasure instead of blessing.

Serving God (Nehemiah 11)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 11, 2025

Are we willing to leave home to serve God?

Did some forego their inheritance in the land to serve in the temple? Are we willing to leave home to serve God elsewhere? Let’s look at Nehemiah 11.

Serving God Requires Courage

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 5, 2021

As we look at the life of Elijah, I think we will see a resemblance of what he went through and what we go through today as we serve our Savior.

If you've been with us for the past 7 weeks then you know that we took a journey to visit the seven churches that Jesus wrote letters to in the Book of Revelation. We found that those messages still apply to our individual lives and our churches today. Now we're going to change gears for ...read more

Serving God Takes Trust

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 12, 2021

Sometimes what God permits us to lose or endure, points us to the truth that He is all we really need. It's a matter of learning to trust God in the good and in the bad. It's a matter of trusting God and not trusting the things that He provides.

Do you trust God? I mean do you really trust God? Back in 1859 there was a tightrope walker by the name of Charles Blondin. He amazed the world when he walked the tightrope across Niagara Falls. The cable sagged about 60 ft in the middle and formed a sharp slope and the drop below him was ...read more

Never Too Old To Serve

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

Maybe you happen to be reaching the age of retirement. You need to realize that accepting your age can lead to losing the best years of your life. Do not become inactive and resigned, but continue to serve the Lord's kingdom.

Tyron Edwards stated, “Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow old.”(1) Sophia Loren said, “There is a fountain of youth: it is in your mind, your talents, and the creativity that you bring to your life and to the lives of the ...read more
