Here’s why: “Believing that Almighty God is the source of all power and authority in civil government, that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Ruler of Nations, and that the revealed Will of God is of Supreme ...read more

    God wants us to share our resources generously with those who need them and for us to give in a manner that demonstrates faith.

    INTRO: “The church is always talking about money.” “the minister just wants my money.” “they don’t care about me – just that I give my offering.” Such things are often said about churches – and sometimes, unfortunately, it is true. I heard of a church recently that has a little mini-sermon EVERY ...read more

    They all pointed to Him. Those prophets of the Old Testament were seeing something they couldn’t figure out, but longed to understand.

    When is the last time you saw something about to happen and you knew it would? At that moment, you were looking into the future and seeing the outcome of events that were yet to take place. God has made us spiritual creatures like himself. We make plans, we set goals, we write out our schedules ...read more

    Those who derive their reality from the world they see and hear about them are not living in the true reality that God wants for them.

    The Jewish people were confident of their standing as the "People of God." They had this confidence for two major reasons; they could trace their lineage back to Abraham, and they bore the sign of the covenant which was circumcision. Jesus acknowledged their physical lineage in the previous section ...read more

    Christians need to get out of their "comfort zones" and become line-crossers in order to reach those they know with the gospel of Jesus Christ!

    In one of the most profound, and paradoxical texts in the Bible, Jesus declares in Matthew 5:4: “Blessed are those who mourn; for they will be comforted.”

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,839 views

    The church has the task to root out those who profess faith in Christ, but in reality they are faking their faith in order to destroy the church

    As we consider the sea of apostasy around us and the effectiveness of faith fakers activity in today's church, it seems as though the church has little hope in stemming the tide. But according to the book of Jude, not only can we stem the tide, we can take positive action to deal directly with ...read more
