    Philip is an example of a person “Living With One Foot in Eternity.” This kind of person lifts up Jesus, inspires hunger for God, is connected with the supernatural, and brings great joy to people's lives.

    Godly Ambition Series

    Contributed by Bob Myers on Sep 8, 2020
     | 5,479 views

    Ambition is a common human motivation. We see it played out in the lives of countless men and women throughout history. In our text today, we observe two kinds of burning ambition. While the passion to achieve desired ends is similar, the motivation sets them worlds apart.

    Who Is This Man? Godly Ambition Mark 10:32-45 Ambition We often talk about people going through “phases.” That’s especially true for those who are growing through adolescence or some other dynamic season of life. “Oh, don’t worry about it,” we tell ourselves, “it’s just a phase.” Grown adults ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 14, 2018
     | 9,271 views

    A generation of God's people had lost the Word, like many Christians today who have the Word but don't read it. Luckily Josiah responded to the Word with tears, evangelistic zeal, and obedience -- as we should!

On the morning of her birthday, a woman told her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond necklace. What do you think it means?" 2. "Maybe you'll find out tonight," he said.

     | 1,644 views

    We live in a generation where GRATITUDE is very seldom expressed. We hear a great deal of complaining instead.

    Illus: Did you hear about the doctor that was complaining to a car mechanic? He said, "Your fee is several times more per hour than we get paid for medical care." The mechanic said, "Yeah, but you see, doc, you always have the same model, it hasn't changed since Adam; but we ...read more

    A Christian man got very involved in collegiate football. He had one team in particular that he pulled for each week. When they won, he had a wonderful week-end, but if they lost he had a terrible week-end.

He was allowing a couple dozen college boys that he did not know personally decide on what kind of week end he was going to have. The fact is, many folks allow THINGS and PEOPLE to decide what kind ...read more

    Kindness and gentleness are fruits of the Spirit. If there were a trial today and being kind and gentle were a crime, would there be enough evidence to convict us?

    Random Acts of Kindness Galatians 5:22-23, Luke 10:30-37 Illustration: The Courtroom drama.
