    What Does It Mean To Have Spiritually Blurred Vision?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 24, 2023
     | 4,904 views

    What does it mean in having blurred vision? Blurred vision is the deficiency of sharpness of visual perception, causing objects to show up cloudy or out of focus.

    The essential drivers of obscured vision are refractive issues – myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (imperfection in the curvature of the eye), or presbyopia (gradual loss of seeing close things clearly). Blurred vision can likewise be an indication of a more ...read more

    Do We Need To Wake Up Our Spiritual Life?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 26, 2023
     | 1,281 views

    Have we fallen asleep spiritually? Is God calling us to wake up? If so, what are we to do? Can we see any similarities with our Scripture and Christians today?

    Our passage of Scripture finds Samuel and Eli to be a little older, but Samuel is still referred to as a boy. Samuel hears his name called while he is sleeping in the temple just before dawn. He quickly approaches Eli, who tells him to return to bed. Samuel is informed by Eli that it is the Lord ...read more

    How Are We To Be An Example Of Evangelism?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 29, 2023
     | 905 views

    Evangelism is more than just preaching the Gospel. It is the sharing of the teachings of Jesus Christ to others. The individual Christians life should be an example of Christ to the world.

    How Are We to Be an Example of Evangelism? 2 Kings 4:8-37 This is the story of how Elisha restores a child to life. This is similar to the story in 1 Kings 17:17-24. What does this story have to do with evangelism? The answer is simple. Someone needed to hear the Word from God, and so God sent ...read more

    Church Laziness While Waiting For God

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 1, 2022
     | 1,988 views

    What is Laziness? It is being unwilling to work or being idle. Here is where Paul admonishes the church against laziness.

    There were a few people falsely teaching the Thessalonian church that being as Christ was returning soon, people should stop working, lay aside any responsibilities, quit planning for the future, and just sit back and wait. Be that as it may, their absence of action just drove them into ...read more

     | 3,447 views

    What are you doing with all the Lord has given you?

    I recently heard a radio commercial that caught my attention. It was an advertisement to refinance your home and save $1000’s. The commercial asked, “What could you do with all that savings?” People exclaimed, “We could buy a new car! We could go on a cruise! We could remodel the kitchen.” ...read more

    The Least Of These

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 7, 2022

     | 4,487 views

    Modern Christians are going to be horrified when they stand in Judgment. Attending church, praising the Lord, living faithfully, and paying tithes aren't even on the radar of what Jesus is expecting of us. We're supposed to be serving 'the least of these!'

    THE LEAST OF THESE Matt. 25:31-40 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE SPHINX’S RIDDLE 1. There’s an ancient Greek story about a Sphinx that troubled the city of Thebes. He would ask passers-by a riddle. If they got the answer wrong, he would devour them. 2. The riddle was: “What walks on four legs in ...read more

    Using Your Gifts

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 12, 2022
     | 1,843 views

    Even though they are aware of their abilities, some people believe they are entitled to make use of them however they see fit. When we use our abilities, how does it glorify God?

    Peter writes that everyone has some abilities. He also states that we are to use what God gave us to reach the world, not for our pleasure but for serving and edifying God. Paul mentions various gifts or abilities. • 1 Corinthians 12:8-11, For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to ...read more

     | 1,168 views

    What are principles for Christian working relationships? Regardless of employment positions, Christians are to bring unity within the church body.

    This passage of scripture mirrors that of Ephesians 6:7-8. Paul does not censure nor support slavery; however, he teaches that Christ rises above all divisions between individuals. Slaves are advised to work sincerely like their lord is Christ himself, yet masters are to be fair and ...read more

    Paul’s final warning to the Corinthians is found in 2 Corinthians 13:1-10. Before he comes to see them, he tells them that they need to repent of their sins. If they do not turn from their sins, no one will be spared Christ’s punishment. When Paul carries out Christ’s potent discipline among them, ...read more

    We can get so busy in DAILY MENIAL CHORES that we forget the beauty of an intimate relationship with God. Mary is found 3 times at Jesus' feet. At Jesus' feet is more than a position. Choose the good part.

    No matter what happens, we can trust God’s timing. Since our time on earth is limited, let’s make the most of the time we have left.

    Prelude: Amazing Grace Opening Song: The Old Rugged Cross Welcome I can think of four reasons for us to gather today.

    In the name of the father, and the son, and the holy spirit, amen. I came upon this prayer, which I thought was very apt as we come to unfold the scripture, so let’s begin by praying.

    Caleb, The Wholehearted Dreamer

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 6, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,539 views

    Wholly following the Lord can be boiled down to three words. Trust and obey. Others in the Bible did that, but only Joshua and Caleb are immortalized for it. They are the example to follow. Any of us can wholly follow the Lord. All of us should.

    Introduction: If you describe someone as a dreamer, you might mean that they spend a lot of time thinking about and planning for things that they would like to happen, but which are improbable or impractical in their own strength. Caleb was dreamer who was connected to a dream making God. God ...read more
