    Three different responses to the news of Christ’s birth: (1) the Magi, passionately seeking Christ to worship Him; (2) King Herod, eager to get rid of Christ, do not want Him to sit on his throne; and (3) Jerusalem, apathetic to the prophecies rega

    How Can We Relate To Jesus Baptism?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Apr 2, 2024
     | 75 views

    What do I do as a newly baptized Christian? This also applies to Christians who have become apathetic. They need to think about what their baptism meant. For Christ it meant to go out to do God's work.

    How can we relate to Jesus baptism? Luke 3:21 – 22 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H Koplitz 21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of ...read more

    Praying For The Right Things Series

     | 14,064 views

    In the light of the Lord’s impending return, we’re to pray that our faith will grow and that our love will increase. Since those who don’t know God will be punished when Christ appears, we must avoid mediocre spirituality and apathetic prayers.

    Praying for the Right Things One of my favorite commercials is for a cell phone company in which cellular static has caused some confusion between a married couple. The wife had just asked her husband to bring home “a movie, something old.” The husband however, thought she said, “Bring home a ...read more

    Contentment is something that we all strive for, the problem is that the world tells us to all look in the wrong place, so we either become apathetic where we don’t feel anything or we spend our lives thinking you know if I only

    There's a Pharisee in me just waiting to come out.

    As I continue to grow and understand the gospel of Jesus Christ and learn more of God’s grace, I have become more conscious of a struggle that rages within me. It’s a struggle between the man I so desperately want to be and the man I have the tendency to be. I struggle, because I know ...read more

    Why People Aren’t Christians Pt 2 Last week, we asked the question why aren’t people Christians anymore?

    Malachi calls the people of his day to be responsive to the love of God.

    What we are told in verse one is all we have about the prophet Malachi. Other prophetic books often tell when the prophet wrote, that is, during the reigns of a certain kings. But, apparently, there were no kings in Israel in Malachi’s day - they appear to be a thing of the past. The ...read more

     | 1,903 views

    Has our prosperity made us so oblivious and so apathetic that we are no longer willing to leave our pleasures long enough to protect and heal the nation that so many others have sacrificed to give us? Even if America has reached that point, we Christians must rise above the apathy around us.

    [NOTE: The beginning of this sermon is referring to flooding that occurred where I live in western North Carolina.} Wow! What a week, amen?

    Apathy is one of the biggest problems in the church today.

    Every Day. Routine. Take it or leave it. A dime a dozen. Do we treat the rare like the regular? Do we mistake the extraordinary for the ordinary? Do we overlook the incredible for the common?

    Common Pt. 1 - Droppin' Dimes Introduction We have confronted and challenged our apathy towards people. Jesus made it clear that we must not only claim love for God but that that love must be demonstrated with love for people. We can't claim love for the One we can't see if we don't love the ones ...read more
