    In order to make an impact for Christ, believers need to be out there serving the Lord with all our heart through the gifts, talents and skills He has given us.

    All believers are called to be the light of the world, as Jesus stated in Matthew 5:14. Regardless of where we are in life, we are encouraged to make the best use of our time for Jesus, utilizing the skills, talents, resources, and spiritual gifts He has given us. God desires for us to be worthy ...read more

    Do We Need To Wake Up Our Spiritual Life?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 26, 2023
     | 1,047 views

    Have we fallen asleep spiritually? Is God calling us to wake up? If so, what are we to do? Can we see any similarities with our Scripture and Christians today?

    Our passage of Scripture finds Samuel and Eli to be a little older, but Samuel is still referred to as a boy. Samuel hears his name called while he is sleeping in the temple just before dawn. He quickly approaches Eli, who tells him to return to bed. Samuel is informed by Eli that it is the Lord ...read more

    In this passage of scripture, Jesus tells the parable of the four soils in Mark 4:1-9. Then in Mark 4:10-25, Jesus gives an explanation about the parable of the four soils.

    Jesus used parables to instruct the people. Parables are brief tales utilizing recognizable scenes to clarify spiritual truth. This technique for educating urges the audience to think. It disguises the truth from the individuals who are excessively obstinate or biased to hear what is being ...read more

    Are All People Sinners? Series

    Paul answers the question that he gives to the Jews, “Are we better than they?” referring to the Gentiles. His answer is in no wise are we better. Paul calls attention to again that each individual is that “they are all under sin,” regardless of whether Jewish or Gentile.

    Romans 3:9-23 contains a series of statements from the Old Testament Scriptures. Paul utilizes these to show that the Jews and Greeks are similar under transgression. Subsequent to setting up that “there is none that doeth good” from Psalm 14:1, Paul utilizes statements from Psalms and Isaiah to ...read more

    What Are The Seven Things The Lord Finds Detestable?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 20, 2025
     | 210 views

    What are the things that the Lord finds repulsive and why does God feel that way towards them?

    The question asks what seven things does the Lord find detestable? In the King James Version of the Bible, it says “are an abomination unto him.” An abomination is something that causes disgust or hatred, and detestable is something that is deserving of intense dislike. It might be hard for people ...read more

    God has called us to be victorious, but learning and understanding how to fight is key for the believer.

     David, whose hands and fingers had been used for the shepherd’s crook, and to the handling of the harp and lyre, were also taught how to handle the sword, the bow, the shield and spear.  We are in God’s army, and therefore serve under the greatest Commander of all time.  We ...read more

    If we want to be used of God to effectively advance the cause of Christ, we must be careful not to overestimate or underestimate ourselves, but use the Spirit’s gift(s) to serve with all our hearts.

    Just a few years ago, Dave Barry, a columnist for the Washington Post, posted his comments about the typical male in the first week of December. He wrote, “Your standard man, at this point in the Christmas season, has purchased zero gifts. He has not yet gotten around to purchasing an acceptable ...read more

    What Are We To Do If There Is A Tater Family In Our Church?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 8, 2023
     | 1,342 views

    Although the title to this message mentions a Tater Family, the passage of Scripture speaks about the servants working with the pounds. Do Christians of today resemble the servants in the Scripture?

    This is the story about the pounds. This story tells of a certain nobleman who received a kingdom, and it showed the followers of Jesus what they were to do during the time between when Jesus would leave and his Second Coming. The followers were to be unwavering and fruitful while he was gone. ...read more

    Grace: It’s So Much More Than God’s Favor

     | 19,363 views

    In 2 Corinthians 12:9 the Lord tells Paul "My grace is sufficient." If God's grace is all Paul needed to deal with the messenger from Satan, perhaps there's more about grace that we need to know and understand.

    I have been reading 2 Corinthians 12 about the Apostle Paul and his pleading with God three times to handle “a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan” sent to stop him from preaching the gospel. The Lord’s response gives me goosebumps. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for ...read more

     | 9,679 views

    Why is obedience more important to God than sacrifice? Obedience is more important than sacrifice because we can sacrifice without loving God, but we obey God because we love Him. Jesus said (John 14:15 NIV) "If you love me, you will obey what I comman

    Obedience over Sacrifice By Greg Johnson May 6, 2007 http://www.LovingGodFellowship.org One of King Saul’s major flaws was that he tried to spiritualize his disobedience to God and His Word.

    Do We Glorify God 1 Cor. 10:31 Prayer Introduction Have you noticed that in our society today people are so pre-occupied with self-glorification?

    God's Forgiveness

    Contributed by Tony Foeller on Sep 4, 2001

     | 6,906 views

    In this message we look at why God forgives, why man needs forgiveness, what God’s forgiveness is, and how one can experience God’s forgiveness.

    God’s Forgiveness Ephesians 1:3-8 What is forgiveness? It is, quite literally, the setting aside of a debt by the one to which the debt is owed. When we talk about forgiveness in this light, are we to understand that it is possible for us to “pay” God for our forgiveness? Of course not. But ...read more
