    It is so easy to judge and condemn the perceived selfishness of others. But rarely do we turn that discerning eye and critical judgment toward ourselves leaving our personal selfishness virtually unchallenged.

    Selfishness Philippians 2:3-4 If you look around, you see endless examples of selfishness. We often lament their existence: We lash out at the pork spending of politicians for their constituents. We despise the self-serving culture of corporate greed. We protest the selfish motives of many wars and ...read more

    God uses the shepherd’s staff here for a very simple reason. Moses was holding one in his hand. He says to Moses what’s that in your hand? What do you have that God can use?

    “Turning Points” Exodus 4:1-17 I will start with a question this morning…..why is that we think that when it comes to things that God wants us to do in the church for Him that we are suddenly full of excuses…excuses that would never work somewhere else. People quit ...read more

    Hurry Up, God!

    based on 5 ratings
     | 17,687 views

    David's prayer is that God will hurry up and deliver him from persecution. However, his life also demonstrated submission to God by not taking matters into his own hands.

    Psalm 70 As we begin, I want to advise you that this Psalm is a repetition, almost word for word, of the last part of Psalm 40. This theme was so important to David, he included it in two of his Psalms. VS. 1 Hurry Up, God! When we try to rush God’s Timing it is because we feel an ...read more

    The Call To Discipleship Part 2: False Starts Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 23, 2021
     | 3,047 views

    We did to have excuses when the going gets tough. Jesus' call is for total commitment. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    When Jesus calls us to follow Him, to be His disciples, Jesus did not call for any halfway measures. How many of us, after the holidays, or before summer season starts say we are going to diet, join a gym, and get healthy? With good intentions we jump right into. However, by day 3 of our diet, ...read more

    Staying Pure In Heart

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 8, 2021
     | 2,569 views

    In our world today, many are doubting God and turning away from Him. So how can we strengthen our faith and remain faithful? We only need to remember that Christ will one day return and rid this world of all sin, immorality, and suffering.

    I want you to think about your spiritual life for a moment. How would you rank your spiritual life? Is it backsliding? Is it stagnant? Or is it growing? We're going to again use the Book of Revelation and a letter that Jesus wrote to the church in Thyatira to examine our own spiritual ...read more

    Delays

     | 14,620 views

    There are countless verses about the benefits of “waiting on the Lord,” BUT…I’ve found quoting the verses to be a whole lot easier than the actual “waiting on the Lord.” Sometimes it seems like God is running late. What’s the deal? Why is He making us wait? Why is He allowing this delay?
