Blessed Are The Poor Widows

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 10, 2015

God measures giving not by what we give, but by what we keep for ourselves. He measures the gift by the sacrifice involved. That is why Jesus valued the widow’s gift. She sacrificed her well-being in order to show her love for God.

When I was preparing my message for today, I came across a story about a little boy who went to church one Sunday morning to get out of the cold. He had been trying to sell newspapers, but no one had passed by. He entered the church, hoping to pass an hour unnoticed in the back row. The minister ...read more

Our Faith Potential

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 2, 2025

Why does God need us to walk in ALL of the faith that He has deposited into us?

So much of what we hear about faith today is designed to motivate us to pursue faith for ourselves and the things we desire. And because of a “me first” attitude, many in the Church are not walking in their faith potential. They don’t understand the purpose of faith and what they can do to help ...read more

No Other Gospel Series

Contributed by Guy Caley on Apr 14, 2002

Any other Gospel doesn’t measure up to the "plumb line" of righteousness. Here are four reasons why.

Introduction Who can tell me what’s on the screen up there, Or what I’m holding in my hand? It’s a plumb line like the one mentioned in the Isaiah text we just read: So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a ...read more

The Lesson Of The Loaves

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 7, 2010
