Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 17, 2001

Elevate To The Next Level - "The People God Uses”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 29, 2025

One of the greatest needs in the church is for people who will not only serve, but who will also lead. It is about those who will invest themselves in the lives of others. I see four examples in Nehemiah’s first actions that separates him, not only as a leader but as a person that God uses.

Money Is A Terrible Master, But A Great Servant Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon explores the concept of money as a tool to serve God's purposes, rather than a master to be served, drawing on biblical scripture and a real-life example of a coal mine fire in Centralia, Pennsylvania.

In May 1962, a coal mine fire started in a small town called Centralia, Pennsylvania. It spread to mine tunnels, and because of the high carbon monoxide levels, all the local mines closed. Numerous attempts were made to put the fire out, but the narrow tunnels in multiple directions made it ...read more
