The Benefit Of Diversity Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 19, 2017

As the Lord ordained and created the church, He placed individuals with varied gifts in the church as it pleased Him. Such diversity of gifts is essential for the church to function and prosper. We must embrace such diversity and celebrate these gifts.

The Benefit of Diversity 1 Corinthians 3: 5-9 As we continue our series – Church: A New Testament Model, I was reminded of the various gifts and abilities within the church.

The Beatitudes Of Christ (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 25, 2021

While many of the blessings Jesus speaks of appear to be contradictions, we must remember that God’s economy is much different than ours. The world views blessings based upon circumstances or material possessions. The Lord speaks of blessing in regard to our relationship with Him.

The Basis of Blessing (Part 2) Matthew 5: 3-12 Today I would like to continue our study on the passage that is commonly referred to as the Beatitudes. Remember this is a Latin term that literally means “happiness or bliss.” Our Lord uses the word blessed nine times in this discourse. He is clearly ...read more

I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jul 3, 2008

In Peter’s life story we have the record of three times when he was off guard, relaxed, asleep. On each occasion there was something that he did not know.

I Lay Me Down To Sleep Acts 12:6 Sleeping at the wheel is a good way to keep from growing old. The amount of sleep required by the average person is about five minutes more. Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone. People who say they sleep like a baby usually don’t ...read more

I hope one day that our last words will be worth mentioning. As we come to the end of the gospel of Matthew, there are 11 disciples now remaining. These would be some of the last words Jesus would say to them.

When Common Knowledge Fails Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 12, 2017

"Everyone knows" can become an excuse for our bias in the church. The Apostle instructs us to see our strength as imposing responsibility rather than conferring privilege.

“Concerning food offered to idols: we know that ‘all of us possess knowledge.’ This ‘knowledge’ puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. “Therefore, as to the eating of food ...read more
