    We as believers in Christ, and as the church of the living God, have a story to tell. What does our story say about our relationship with Him?

    A thirty-four-year-old German woman named Anna Rosmus recently told the tragic story of what happened in her hometown in Germany during World War II.

     | 5,703 views

    We see in John’s actions indications for what God desires His church to know and do: [1] feast on His Word; [2] understand the two-fold effect of God’s Word (bitter-sweet); [3] take the responsibility to pray & study & preach His Word.

    Last week, as we began studying chapter 10, we came to the second set of back-to-back parenthetical visions in the book of Revelation.

    The Disciples would tend to focus on things that did not have much to do with why Jesus "sent" them out. How can we relate to this today, are we going off track? What is the focus of the church supposed to be?

    In the book of John Jesus says this phrase, “I have come that you may have life, and more abundantly.” The word abundant in Greek is “per-ee” and accurately translates to exceed, the mind goes to wander and ask, “to exceed what about life?” money? Happiness? No, ...read more

    What Is Our Ambition?

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 25, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,207 views

    No one wants to fail. But if our ambition to succeed becomes motivated by the fear of failure, ambition can become an idol in our lives and in our church.

    IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT NOBODY WANTS TO DELIBERATELY FAIL AT ANYTHING. THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT "FAILING" IS THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF FAILURE ITSELF. THE GREATEST NEWS ABOUT FAILURE IS THAT FAILURE IN AND OF ITSELF IS NEVER FINAL. YOU CAN LEARN GREAT LESSONS FROM FAILURE IF YOU ARE ...read more
