    Forsaking all past achievements and human advantages, St. Paul strains ahead to be found in Christ; this striving is by faith, and results in an imputed righteousness from God, a sharing in the sufferings of Christ, Christlikeness and participation in the resurrection of the dead.

    God wants us to share our resources generously with those who need them and for us to give in a manner that demonstrates faith.

    INTRO: “The church is always talking about money.” “the minister just wants my money.” “they don’t care about me – just that I give my offering.” Such things are often said about churches – and sometimes, unfortunately, it is true. I heard of a church recently that has a little mini-sermon EVERY ...read more

  • Trouble In The King's Household Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 3, 2004
    based on 40 ratings
     | 6,945 views

    As great a king as David was, he was still a human king with all the flaws of any human being. It would take the coming of Jesus before we had a king who truly reflected God’s heart in all he did; whose leadership would fully reflect God’s character.

Why is it in here? Well, there are a couple of reasons it’s in here. One is to show how quickly God’s judgement on ...read more

    “A Closer Look: Faith” Introduction: We live in a world in which it is hard to have faith. People expect everything to make sense logically and faith very rarely fits into people’s equations.
