The Heart Of A Servant

Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 9, 2023

Good morning church! I want to explore the valuable lessons on having a servant's heart that we can learn from 1 Timothy 6:11-12. As we look into this passage, let us be inspired by the example of the apostle Paul and reflect on how we can cultivate the heart of a true servant in our own lives.

Point 1: Pursue Righteousness (1 Timothy 6:11a) A servant's heart is rooted in a deep desire to pursue righteousness. It involves a deliberate choice to walk in obedience to God's commands and live a life that aligns with His will. Proverbs 21:21 - "He that followeth after ...read more

Hearts Of Fire

Contributed by Jesse Crooks on May 4, 2023

All of us have our Emmaus roads. People disappoint us, circumstances disappoint us, and careers disappoint us. Sometimes it seems that God has disappointed us like He did these disciples, disappoints us when He does not act in the way or in the time we expect Him to.

Hearts a Fire (Luke 24:13-35) 13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, ...read more

The Wife As The Heart

Contributed by Grant Adams on Sep 24, 2023

Do you have any idea why God would create women in the fashion He did? Why the rib? Not the ankle, foot, hand, head, neck, but the rib. That which is the closest to the heart.

Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 20, 2024

A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS: A BROKEN HEART A. Many people believe that HAPPINESS is produced by EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES or SITUATIONS. 1. The world buys into the “WHEN AND THEN” philosophy: “When I get this...” or “When that changes...” or “When this happens” “. . . THEN I'll be ...read more

With Examining the Heart, the law brings 1) Inward Conviction (Romans 2:17-20), 2) Outward Failure (Romans 2:21-24) and requires a matching of the 3) Inward to the Outward (Romans 2:25-29).
