     | 3,846 views

    Our Heavenly Father has blessed us so that we can bless others in the same way.

    I love the book of Ephesians. Well, I guess you could also say that about Philippians and Colossians because, oftentimes, I read these epistles together in one sitting. As I laid in bed recently, I heard the latter part of Ephesians 1:3 being rehearsed in my mind. Holy Spirit had put the verse on ...read more

    Use What God Has Given

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 1, 2024
     | 2,117 views

    The parable of the talents reminded us of what we are to be doing from now until the day Jesus returns. We are stewards entrusted with God's gift and we are to use what He has given for the work of His Kingdom. We are accountable to Him for how we live our lives today.

    Matt 25:14-30 - USE WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN Jesus has been telling His disciples, and all of us today, of the signs of the end times and that after He left, He would return. • As to the day and time of His return, no one knows except God the Father. • But His second coming is sure and we are to ...read more

    An Unusual Robbery

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,075 views

    Everything belongs to God and we are stewards of what God entrusts to us. God requires we give back to Him a tenth of all our income. God tells us that to fail to pay tithes is to rob Him of what's His. If we do tithe we receive a seventh-fold blessing.

    AN UNUSUAL ROBBERY Mal. 3:8-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A pastor of a country church was talking to one of his church members about tithing. He asked him, “Jim, if you had 100 horses, would you give 10 of them to the Lord?” The farmer answered, “Yes Pastor, I’d give 10 of them to the Lord.” ...read more

    1 Peter 4:10 admonishes us to "use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." What is the greatest gift all believers have received? What gift does this poor, lost world need most?

    Using Your Gifts to Serve Others Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) ...read more

     | 2,276 views

    Nature is a great teacher and by observing God's creatures there is much we can learn for our Christian lives. In this message we examine the habits of spiders to gain insights for our lives. God bless you all.

    ARACHNOPHOBIA FOR SOME – HOWEVER SPIDERS ARE WONDERFUL TEACHERS I prepared this about 20 years ago, so when I use “today”, well - it was back then. Here we make applications to Christian living derived from the habits of spiders. This is an address rather than a sermon and prepared for smaller ...read more

     | 3,627 views

    Life is laced with spiritual hazards. We need the wisdom of God’s Word in order to avoid the many traps that surround us. Today, we will look at three such traps.

    Warning: Bridge Out! (Proverbs 28:6-10) 1. Sometimes people escape, unscathed, from traps that should have caught them. 2. I failed the first quarter of a class in middle school, so I made a fake report card. I did this every quarter that year. I forgot that they mail home the end-of-year cards, ...read more

    This message looks at the godly strongholds operating in Joseph's life when tempted to commit adultery by Potiphar's wife.

    This is the fourth message in my series on Creating New Strongholds. We are continuing our look at ways of thinking the Apostle Paul describes as “strongholds” in 2 Corinthians 10:4. However, instead of examining strongholds from the viewpoint of tearing them down, like the previous three ...read more

    We cannot be faithful to the world and faithful to God at the same time. We must learn to put God first and everything else behind God.

    Management Training Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,832 views

    One of the transformations that takes place in the life of a Christian is our perspective on material possessions. The scripture teaches that things are gifts from God--to be managed and shared.

    Luke 16:1-13 “Management Training” INTRODUCTION Heroes and antiheroes are a part of life. Parents might encourage their children to be like Oprah Winfrey, Colin Powell, Bill Gates, or Mother Teresa. At the same time, few parents would point to O.J. Simpson as a good role model, or Kenneth Ley ...read more
