Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 5, 2017

At Pentecost God sent his Holy Spirit, for the first time, to remain in believers forever. Since the Holy Spirit manifests through each believer, we cannot say "I don't have anything to offer." We also can't take the credit, since God does the work.

1 Corinthians 12:4-12, 27 God’s Creative Work in the Church Today, local church membership has lost its appeal. Why bother? Why not drift from church to church and see what meets my needs?

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Sep 13, 2011

Because God’s Word mattered to Jesus, it should matter to us and we should do everything we can to live according to the principles we find there.

Over the years, I’ve found that one of the issues that Christ followers struggle with the most is how we are to apply the Old Testament in our lives.

God’s Authority In Christ And You

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 31, 2010

Jesus ministry demonstrated the authority of God. Not everyone applauded. The authority of God in us brings great blessing and responsibility. Do we take seriously the authority God has given us? Jesus did.

Imagine having a photo album of the events in Jesus’ life. That describes well what God has given us in the first gospel. Between five major spoken messages of Jesus in Matthew, we find narrative pictures of Jesus’ in action. Last week we looked at chapter 8 and today Matthew 9 gives us seven ...read more

The Good And Beautiful God: God Is Good Series

Contributed by Scott Walker on Jun 3, 2011

The world's narrative about God is that God is an "Angry God" seeking to destroy us if we get out of line. But Jesus tells us that God is good and just. When we see the final picture, we will be amazed at how good and just God is.
