    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 4, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,231 views

    Paul's life was shaped by the Gospel. Even in the face of an uncertain future and difficulty, he embraced change in life through the power of the Gospel. That is the beauty in the Gospel.

    The Beauty in the Gospel Acts 20: 24-27 Our text today finds the apostle Paul on his way to Jerusalem. He is well aware of the animosity of the Jews toward him, and quite uncertain what his future will hold once he arrives. One would expect him to be very nervous and apprehensive about returning, ...read more

    God would have me tell you to let go of the old, the way things have always been and to embrace the new. To not question God’s motives, but to completely trust in His amazing capabilities to do something greater than what we have experienced thus far!

    Calculate The Cost

    When we embrace a relationship with Jesus, we end up calculating the cost of following Him. I use a current political story to show not everything is as we think it is.

    Calculate the Cost Luke 14:25-33 February 3, 2019 I’m going to start out being a little political. Most of you will recall that there was an incident in Washington DC, in which some students from a Catholic school were chastised, and that’s being gentle for how they treated a Native American who ...read more

    A Futile Effort Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 13, 2019
     | 6,350 views

    God spoke to Jonah, calling him to go and cry against Nineveh. Foolishly, Jonah thought he could flee the presence of God. However, God intended for Nineveh to hear a warning, and He intended Jonah to deliver that warning. It is futile to try and flee God's presence!

    A Futile Effort Jonah 1: 1-10 Having considered the introduction for Jonah, I want to remind us of the major theme of the book. Most tend to focus solely on Jonah’s miraculous deliverance from the belly of the great fish, but that is just one scene from this account in Scripture. In fact, that ...read more

    The Bible has a lot to say about spiritual freedom and spiritual bondage.

    Freedom is not Free Selective verses Introduction- As we celebrate our countries 243rd year of independence, we must understand that freedom is not free, it cost someone something for us to be free. We must also understand that not all people want to be free, some want to be in bondage because ...read more

    Knowing his time here was almost finished, Joshua called the people together for a final word. He challenged them to remember the goodness of God, and remain committed to Him. Regardless of their decision, he was determined to serve the Lord. We too need that committed resolve to serve the Lord.

    Choose whom you will Serve Joshua 24: 13-15 Our text today is likely a familiar passage for most of us. Joshua had served the Lord faithfully as he walked beside Moses, being used in various ways to assist their journey from Egypt toward the Promised Land. God had given Joshua favor in the eyes of ...read more

    The Parts Of Our Lives That Are Off-Limits To God Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 2, 2013
     | 4,966 views

    A look at how we only let God into certain parts of our lives when He needs to be "Lord of all" in our lives.

    WHY WEREN'T THE SAILORS BOTHERED EARLIER? Because they believed in small, provincial gods. - Jonah 1:7, 10. - One of the unusual things about this verse is that it tells in verse 10 that Jonah had told them previously that he was running away from God. You would think that when the storm arose ...read more

    As long as we are in the midst of our journey in this world, we are subject to distractions. How do we maintain our focus?

    “Maintaining Focus” 1 Jn. 2:15-17 & Phil. 3:1-14 A young woman is taking her final exam. She’s excited and relieved because the teacher asked the right questions and she really knows the answers. But part way through the test she looks out the window and sees her boyfriend ...read more

    Let us not love God in mere words, put them in action today! James 2:26 says, “For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.”

    Faithful Till The End

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 19, 2020
     | 11,322 views

    Peter makes a profound statement while writing to first century believers - the end of all things is at hand. He wanted the church to live and witness in light of anticipation of the Lord's soon return. Such an awareness would impact every aspect of Christian life.

    Faithful till the End 1 Peter 4: 7-11 Today is a day unlike any we’ve ever known. In the past few years, the world has seen drastic change. We are living in a day of difficulty and decision. The day when God was given His rightful place in the affairs of our nation has been replaced with lust, ...read more

    If the book was written to show us of how Israel fell into a terrible cycle of disobedience, repentance, oppression so decadent that it would need a deliver, we must be willing to admit our need for the same.

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more
