    Spiritual gifts are powerful expressions of God’s grace, meant to equip the Church for its divine assignment. But gifts alone are not enough. Without maturity, they can become tools of pride, division, or confusion.

    This sermon explores how God's power is made perfect in our weaknesses, choosing flawed individuals to manifest His glory and grace.

    Good morning, family of faith. It is a joy and an honor to stand before you today, not because of who I am, but because of who we are in Christ. We are gathered here, not as perfect beings, but as flawed vessels, chosen by Christ. And in this truth, there is an overwhelming beauty and an ...read more

    What Jesus Teaches Us About Loving Our Enemies

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 26, 2015
     | 5,868 views

    No matter how hard we try, we know that there are going to be flaws & blemishes in our life. We know that we are not without sin because the Bible tells us so. So let’s take a look at the subject of love.

    If there is one thing the world really needs to know more about, & to put into practice, it is "love." How often Jesus tells us to love one another. In John 15:12 He commanded us to love one another. In fact "love" is so important that Jesus devoted a whole section of the Sermon on the Mount to ...read more

    God created us as a warrior race and equips us to fight the good fight of faith.

    How many of you want to be in control of everything you do? I think if we honestly look at ourselves we would admit that is the case.

    The Authority Of Our Will

    Contributed by Mark Baker on Jan 4, 2010
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,620 views

    God gave man the ultimate authority to do whatever they wanted to do. In this sense He made us just like Him, we have the power of choice. It is always in our best interest when we choose to do what He has told us to do.

    From the very beginning we can see that God has given man a free choice. Adam and Eve were disobedient against God’s specific commandment. The result for them was spiritual death and eventually physical death. Why didn’t God stop them from this disobedient act knowing full well the outcome? He ...read more
