    What Are The Marks Of A Believer?

    Contributed by Andrew Chan on May 31, 2001

    What does a believer who follow Christ really look like? What changes should one expect when one trust in the leadership of Christ.

    What Jesus Knew

    Contributed by Terry Barnhill on May 11, 2010
     | 2,124 views

    He’s telling you not to be surprised “if the world hates you”, and then he’s telling you why it hates you. It’s precisely because “we love our brothers.”

    In preparing the sermon for today, a singular thought pressed on me repeatedly. We read the stories of Jesus. We recite the Creeds of Christendom, and we share the understanding that Jesus was fully God and fully man . . . the divine paradox. But how often are we really willing to make the ...read more

    Little did the shepherds know the miracles that they would see that glorious night. Did they ever fully comprehend what it was that they saw? Do we?

    What the Shepherds Saw Luke 2:1-18 That night was unlike any other in all of history. The shepherds had bedded down their sheep for the night and began their vigil guarding their sheep. I came imagine as they watched over their flocks that they gazed into the splendor of the starry sky thinking ...read more

    What Mama Said Ephesians 5:3–5, Background to passage: Paul’s quick turnaround from his encouraging word to imitate God and walk in love like Christ is to move back to teaching from the negative (by that I mean that he is instructing them what not to do rather than what to do).

    Hang On To What You Have

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 27, 2025
     | 233 views

    Faith is sustained not by intensity or perfection, but by hanging on to Christ’s grace when pressure, disappointment, and weariness pull at our trust.

    He didn’t start out confused. He started out in love. You remember what that feels like—when faith is simple, when obedience feels like joy instead of effort, when the future seems open because God is clearly ahead of you. Prayer is natural. Scripture feels like bread. Service feels like oxygen. ...read more
