    When we think we know what following Jesus means, we need to look again. Leaning on our own understanding is not trusting in the Lord with all our heart.

    Luke 9 John McArthur, in his book, The Gospel According to Jesus, tells about a time when he was with a minister driving through a particular city.

    Since patience means “slow to get angry,” we’ll focus on some of those things that cause us to burn with anger so that we can learn the discipline of waiting

    Preparing for Patience Rev. Brian Bill July 1, 2001 A truck driver sat down to eat at an all-night restaurant.

    The end of a year means the beginning of inventory for many businesses. It is also a good time to take inventory of our lives before we adopt any New Year’s resolutions.

    A PERSONAL INVENTORY “The young man said to Him, ‘All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?” Matthew 19:20. For many businesses, the end of the year is the beginning of inventory. It is also a good time for us to take inventory of our spiritual life and the degree of our ...read more

    Every year the world shuts down on the 25th of December, but why? If it is just about gifts and family would this happen? This 3 part series looks into the real meaning of Christmas.

    There is a key word in the above verse that I would like to center in on for a moment. This word is “fellowship.” The Greek is “koinonia.” Koinonia means association, community, communion, joint participation, intimacy, contribution.

    By: Donna J. Kazenske The Early Church was birthed in power on the day of Pentecost. Those who had waited for the promise of the Holy Spirit were blessed by a powerful visitation from the Lord. All who were present in the Upper Room were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues as the ...read more

    To one extent or another, we all carry a burden of guilt. That is not God’s desire. He wants us to get rid of it and has given us the means to do so.

     | 2,870 views

    We try to be perfect, in the "spotless" sense. But perfection means completion, and is tied to meeting others’ needs rather than achieving our goals. Jesus’ sacrifice was his "finished" accomplishment.

    It happens every January. Just as sure as snow and the Super Bowl, with or without your favorite team, it always happens in January. Broken resolutions. Broken resolutions are the order of the day in the first month of the year. Those noble impulses we all have to do better and to be better – we ...read more
