Servanting, Soldiering, And Searching For Souls

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022

How are we to be what we are meant to be? A preacher, a teacher, a deacon, a church secretary, a witness, one of the board of trustees, the list goes on. It does not matter the size of the local church body that we may be affiliated with.

Habakkuk 2:4, Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his ...read more

Why Does The Resurrection Matter To Us?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 9, 2021

Why should we be so concerned about proving that the resurrection of Jesus really took place? Sadly, many Christians can tell you the details about the resurrection while never thinking about the way that truth effects their daily lives.

Last Sunday we learned many of the truths about the resurrection. We all saw how the Apostle Paul proved the truth of the resurrection through the testimonies of 100s of people who saw the resurrected Christ first hand. But you might be asking, “Why does of any of it matter? Why should we be so ...read more

Do We Have A Case Of Heartburn?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 12, 2023

This is the story of the two men that were going back to Emmaus and what happened to them on their journey. They almost missed something because they were centered around their own personal issues.

Undoubtedly, they had heard His preaching, the various parables, and what He was teaching about Himself. It was as if they were not looking ...read more

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Evangelism is not about having the right words. It is about being faithful in sharing our passion about what Jesus has done in our lives, and then inviting people to "come and see" for themselves what He is all about.

Church researcher George Barna pinpoints the main reason why many believers do not share their faith. He states, “In asking Christians about their witnessing activities, we have found that nine out of ten individuals who attempt to explain their beliefs and theology to other people come away from ...read more
