    If We Want To Lead, We Must Serve Series

     | 7,857 views

    We must not hinder anyone from coming to Christ because it is in serving Jesus and leading others to Him that we find our true reward. However, if anything comes between us and Jesus we must cast it aside because He is worthy of our total focus!

    Leading well means serving well Mark 10:32-52 - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Beginning today, we will see that concept explained and really come into focus - Jesus’ teachings, while difficult for some to deal with, are always timely -- God ...read more

    We honor God by obeying Him fully and consistently. Part of honoring God means submitting to his judgment above our own, including what we do in church meetings and ministry. Keep in mind the sum total of all our regular meetings and ministries, not just

    Adam and Eve show us what NOT to do when it comes to sin. Instead of trying to hide from God and shift the blame, confess your sin to God, repent of your wrong by turning back to God, and receive God's total forgiveness. Only then will you find peace.

    Genesis 3:8-15 The Devil Made Me Do It! After reviewing their finances, a husband and wife decided it was time to tighten up, to spend less and save more. A day later, the wife was out shopping and found the dress of her dreams. It cost way too much, but she had to have it. When she showed it to ...read more

    Have you ever questioned your salvation? As long as we keep our trust totally in Christ, we stand assured of God’s promise of eternal life. But as soon as we rest any weight on the thin ice of our own efforts, we topple into insecurity.

    Have you ever wondered about your salvation; about whether or not you are going to heaven when you die? Some questions we might have are, “What am I supposed to do in order to gain God’s acceptance and love?” “Do I have to read the Bible all the way through?” “Do I have to knock on a million ...read more

    Israel is a cake half baked, burned on one side and raw on the other. Actually, a cake like that would be totally useless. The good news God wants to restore. Put your faith in Christ. Turn from the half-baked lifestyle Live fully committed to Jesus Christ.

    A cake would not be very useful to you if it were burned on the bottom and raw and the top. Actually, a cake like that would be totally useless. Israel was a half-consecrated people. They were useless to God. They were burning with lust and cold toward God. Israel is a cake half baked. Often God ...read more

    Make America Great Again will only come when the American church makes a total commitment to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission. But We Won't Go Back - God clearly wants to lead us forward to where He wants us to be next.

    To fully restore our connection to God, we must become aware of our sins, admit them to another and act in a way which totally removes the sin and its tempters from our presence quickly. Any compromise robs us of a true connection to our God.

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

    Manasseh was the evil king who led Judah into total destruction. Yet the Bible records that after 55 years of evil, he turned to the Lord & God forgave him. This story is a picture of God's incredible grace! There's still hope!

    Jesus cry, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me!” is a desperate cry of loneliness. I believe this was the worst and the most horrible moment of the crucifixion for Jesus. When sin invaded His life and the Father walked away! He felt totally alone! H

    Some people can make God look like He doesn’t know how to make up His mind! One day it is “God wants me to do this.” and the next day it was something totally different. What does Jesus say about all this?

    Matthew 5 – Part 18 – GOD TOLD ME TO DO IT! I SWEAR! Occasionally I meet Christians who say “God is telling me to go and do this or that” and then the next minute God seems to have changed His mind.

    Reading the twenty-third psalm can be misleading if we only open our ears to verse one. "The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want". However, we must understand that the Lord, as our Shepherd, requires complete authority over the sheep. He must be in total

    1. I need His presence (He makes me to lie down in green pasture) This can only happen when I am in His presence. He's an interesting point about sheep being made to lie down. Sheep are very skittish animals. They are very Nervous and have to reach a high level of comfort ...read more

    Diluted Faith? Expiring With Fear?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Oct 30, 2019
     | 5,084 views

    Fear is a common enemy that we all face today. Fear dilutes the effectiveness of the work of God. Fear makes no sense and can be totally irrational. Moses was a God leader and he tried to prepare his people to face fear and trust God. Fear can be contagious... TRUST GOD!

    God is our loving Heavenly Father who sent His only begotten Son Jesus to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. When God is our Father we have forgiveness of sins, healing, redemption, His loving kindness and tender mercies and a life of total contentment.

    For today’s meditation let us dwell on Psalm 103:13, “As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.” (ESV) This Psalm that David wrote is based on the understanding that the relationship between the Almighty God and mankind is like that of a ...read more
