Laboring As Unto Christ

Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Sep 5, 2016

The heart of the average employee is more influenced by a world view rather than having the mind of Christ, as the Bible tells you and me to have. This teaches about God's perspective on work.

Laboring As Unto Christ Rethinking Our Attitude About Work The Bible says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who ...read more

Living A God Approved Life

There are many sources that we seek approval from, but our greatest desire should be that God approve our actions, attitudes and words.

LIVING A GOD-APPROVED LIFE GALATIANS 2:1-10 INTRODUCTION We might say trying to win approval from others consumes our lives.

Salvation: Free From And Free To

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

Does what I do save me? Do I have to finish what God started? If I’m saved, should I sin even more so I can experience even more of God’s grace? To all these questions, Paul answered a huge and powerful, “NO!”

Intro Context is king when it comes to meaning. For someone to understand what someone else has said, he must first understand the setting. If someone doesn’t account for what was taking place when something was said, the conclusions he will come to will often reflect more about himself ...read more

Just Trying To Do My Job

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jun 8, 2011

We spend so much time debating with God that we miss out on our blessings. God is trying to take us out of the norm and we fight the Lord because we are comfortable and satisfied where we are.

From Major Mess To Masterpiece - You Are One Of God's Greatest Miracles

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Mar 24, 2009

(Theme adapted from theme by Rob Willis.)

What’s the greatest miracle in the Bible? The crossing of the Red Sea by the Israelites? The feeding of the 5,000 by Jesus? I suppose it depends how you define “greatest.” If you mean what single miracle had the largest impact, you’d have to say Jesus’ resurrection is the greatest miracle. Because ...read more
