Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts: Part 2 Series

Contributed by Don Jaques on Aug 16, 2006

God still uses the “manifestation gifts” to build up his church. Every Christian should be aware and desirous of these gifts from God.

We’re going to spend some time today talking about 9 of those gifts and how God wants to use them in the body – but I was reminded by my “mouse problem” that we must be connected to the giver of the gifts – the Holy Spirit – in order to be able to make use of his gifts. God wants to use each ...read more

Take It Back!

Contributed by Tommy Jackson on Jan 16, 2006

Unbelievable pain, incredible hurt. Why God? Why? Answers don’t come easily; sometimes they never come. But God wants us to know HIM and our pain drives us to him.

TAKE IT BACK! One of my all-time favorite movies is Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first film in the Indiana Jones trilogy. I think it’s Steven Spielberg’s greatest work. In the film Hitler’s Nazis have stolen the newly recovered Ark of the Covenant and placed it aboard a German submarine. The Ark ...read more

The Credible Christian Household Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 17, 2002

The Credible Christian household depends on those within it being submitted to one another, offering hospitality to others and using their tongues only to build up.

Freedom Without Escape

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 3, 2001

Real freedom does not come from escaping your circumstances, or from being able to do whatever you want; real freedom is the power to live in obedience to God.

Do you feel free? Or do you sometimes feel trapped? No way out, all the exits boarded up? Ever feel that all your obligations and responsibilities have tied you down, that all you’re doing is marching to someone else’s music, responding to someone else’s demands, all the time doing what you have to ...read more
