     | 5,320 views

    One of the great debates in America today is socialism versus capitalism or a free market economy. What does the Bible have to say about this issue if anything at all?

    Is God a Socialist or a Capitalist? Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together Titus 3:3-5 “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. “But when the ...read more

    Pentecost foreshadows the truth that during the church age, a new phase in God’s program has emerged: Jewish and Gentile believers are united in one body through the Holy Spirit -- and God uses them to labor for a harvest of people.

    Pentecost or Weeks (Shavuot) (Leviticus 23:15-23) 1. Many Christians are surprised to find out that Pentecost is a Jewish Old Testament holiday. 2. A Jewish man was confronting a Christian man: “You know, you people borrowed the 10 Commandments from us.” 3. “Well,” responded the Christian, “we ...read more

    Investing Our Talents Series

     | 5,424 views

    Believers are supposed to invest their spiritual gifts, and multiply them by winning other people to faith in Christ. If we fail to labor in the kingdom, then perhaps we don’t know Christ after all, and we will be cast into outer darkness.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled, “Investing Our Talents,” and it’s taken from what is called “The Parable of the Talents.” In reference to this passage, Donald S. Whitney states, “[God] said in Matthew 25:14-30, that we are accountable for all the talents we have received and how we use them for ...read more

    In this final message of the Rooted series, we are called to surrender to God’s pruning, examine the fruit of our lives, and live Spirit-led, obedient lives that bear lasting fruit—becoming faithful laborers in a world ripe for the harvest.

    The Harvest Matthew 9:35-38 How I love the autumn season! There's something about this time of year that stirs the soul—inviting reflection, gratitude, and wonder.

    Pentecost foreshadows that during the church age, a new phase in God’s program has emerged: Jewish and Gentile believers are united in one body through the Holy Spirit -- and God uses them to labor in His harvest field.

    Shavuot: The Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) (Leviticus 23:15-23) 1. A Christian man and a Jewish man were debating which faith was best. The Jewish man argued, “We gave you the 10 Commandments.” The Christian responded, “Yes, but you can’t say we’ve kept them!” Many Christians are surprised to ...read more

    Becoming A Christian Philosopher

    Contributed by Don Campbell on May 15, 2023

    The word “philosophy” means a love of wisdom. Paul said, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ” (Col 2:8). There must be two kinds of philosophers.

    The harvest is ready but the laborers are few! We haven't much time left to bring the lost sheep into the Lord's fold. If we truly love him, we should be about the Father's business.

    How many of you love St. Peter jokes? Here is one which I hope ties into our message for this morning. It goes like this: A man arrives at the gates of heaven. St. Peter asks, "Denomination?" The man says, "Methodist." St. Peter looks down his list, and says, "Go to ...read more
