Wednesday - An Extravagant Giver And A Ruthless Taker Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 21, 2022

These two stories of the extravagant giver and the ruthless taker are excellent examples of what we should and should not be. Both people were very close to Jesus, but ended up having very different reactions to him. Jesus loved them both in spite of what they did to Him.

A. We might oversimplify things by saying that the world is made up of two kinds of people: givers and takers, but there is some truth to that statement. B. I love hearing stories about big tippers and I try to be a good tipper myself. 1. A man named Greg Rubar was a waiter at D'Amico’s ...read more

Overcoming The World

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Dec 5, 2021

If you have faith in Christ, you already have every resource to be an overcomer. God doesn’t allow us to surrender to worldly pressure or to hide ourselves away. But He says that in Christ we can conquer and gain the victory. Who is it that will overcome and persevere? Only the one who believes!

What we do today isn’t very exciting. For we’re just a small church in a big world. We’re reading an old book, and we’re talking about an old story. Yet a Christian has been given different eyes, and we look at things in a different way. Beneath the surface, God helps us to see things as they ...read more

Staying The Course Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

We might presently feel like we’ve been fighting for our Promised Land a long time. Fighting will wear us out and lead to discouragement. Battle is not a pretty sight, and as we tire of spiritual confrontation, we might be tempted to give up.

Last week we saw how becoming tired of incessant battle can lead to becoming impatient and attempting to rush what God is wanting to do in His way and His timing. It can also lead a person to feeling defeated and abandoning the fight. David boldly declared in Psalm 119, “I will run the course of ...read more
