Providing Comfort During Trials
Contributed on May 13, 2021
How do we respond to those who are enduring hardships? Do we dish out criticism and judgment, or do we show genuine compassion? The experience from our own trials can help us better minister to those in trouble and anguish.
Samuel Chadwick said, “Compassion costs. It is easy enough to argue, criticize and condemn; but redemption is costly, and comfort draws from the deep. Brains can argue, but it takes heart to comfort.”(1) How do we respond to those who are enduring hardship? Do we dish out criticism and ...read more

Promoting What We Have
Contributed on May 13, 2021
If we fail to recognize what God is doing in our midst, then His blessings may depart from us. Instead of looking at what we "don't" have, we need to look at what we "do" have, and then tell others what God is doing in our church.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Paul addressed the church in Thessalonica, saying, “In everything ...read more

Contributed on May 13, 2021
Some people believe that Christians are supposed to be and appear perfect, and that the only ones who can attend church are those who “have it all together.” The church is not a country club for saints, but a hospital for sinners.

Contributed on May 12, 2021
This message discusses how there are people who attend church claiming faith in Christ simply because they want a ticket to heaven, or because they want their fire insurance; but, they have never truly believed in Jesus as Savior and Lord.
This morning, I am going to talk about the deception of professing Christ as fire insurance and as a ticket to heaven; and so, I’m going to begin with a related illustration. In the December 2001 issue of “Reader’s Digest,” the boxer Muhammed Ali was asked during an interview what his faith meant ...read more

Hitting The Target
Contributed on May 12, 2021
This message discusses missing the mark with God, how it happens, and the resulting consequence. It also shares how to get our lives centered and on target with God, and hit the bulls eye that will get us into heaven.
One day a man decided to head into the woods to go hunting. As he rounded a corner on the trail, he unexpectedly encountered a bear. As quickly as possible, he aimed his rifle and shot, and then missed! Immediately the bear came charging toward him, and out of extreme fear the man froze and ...read more
