     | 6,010 views

    In this message, we learn how even evangelicals can be guilty of violating the 2nd commandment. When we do, we minimize God and magnify our problems.

    A Small Idea To Help Make You Big In Generosity

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 9, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,087 views

    Paul’s call here for the Corinthians to give generously provides a great idea for us to expand our giving.

    A Small Idea: “Set up a Generosity Fund.” - v. 2. - This passage is not about tithing to your church. It’s about a specific need in a specific church and the Corinthians choosing to give to help meet that need. Obviously, they were taking care of the needs of their own people as well, so this ...read more

    Why Does God Speak In A Still Small Voice?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 2, 2024
     | 783 views

    How often do we, as Christians, take time to listen to the voice of God? Does He have to talk to us with a raised voice or a quiet one?

    Before we attempt to provide an answer to our question, let us take a moment, look at the Scripture, and gather a history of the situation. In preceding chapter, Elijah has rebuked the evil king Ahab and has had a contest with the evil prophets, wins the contest, and has the evil prophets slain. ...read more

    We Were Formed For Fellowship

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2013
     | 5,421 views

    How did God design us? He wants us to gather together in faithful fellowship groups that lead us to the fullness of Christ. Our friendships will impact us for faith or not. We must make choices of fellowship on purpose.

    We were formed for fellowship. When God created Adam the Bible tells us that God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18. This was the first time that, after God created anything, he looked at it and said that it is NOT good. ...read more

    This sermon was preached to introduce our LIFE Groups to the congregation

    They were the ultimate church plant. They started with 11, grew to 120, then to 3000. Not bad, as a matter of fact very good. But how did they do it? I guess that question has to be asked by anyone who is even remotely interested in church growth. What was the secret that they had that allowed ...read more
