With many making New Year's resolutions, what should Christians commit to this year? If we seek first the kingdom of God, we are living in accordance with His Word and He will give you courage for the challenges ahead!
In this special message, young people from the church read the Christmas story. The gifts brought to Jesus by the Magi were appropriate: Gold for a king, Frankincense for a priest, and Myrrh for God's anointed one. What did we bring Him?
God has given us many gifts that we often take for granted. Pastor Rich reflects on some of those in his life including life itself, his wife, children, grand children, houses, and the church. But the greatest gift is eternal life through Jesus.
It is not always a bad thing to be alone, if it causes us to turn to Jesus. He will deliver us from evil attacks. He will never leave nor forsake us, regardless of how we feel.
The things of this world, like status, possessions, and entertainment, can lead us away from the needs of others. At the end of our lives, these things will matter much less than friends. And there is no better friend than Jesus.
Our pride and rudeness sometimes keep us from saying thank you. This Thanksgiving message explores various scriptures about giving thanks, sometimes even before we receive a blessing.
If God has given you something to do, don't panic, because He has also given you what you need to complete it. Yet, understand that setbacks are inevitable and are often used by God to correct our paths. Look to Him for strength to endure.
Many churches today are teaching false doctrine to appease their congregations and to enrich themselves. Sound doctrine often makes us uncomfortable and the desire to hear only that which affirms us is common to all.
It has been said that you are either in a trial, coming out of one, or going into one. Trials are inevitable, but have a purpose. Our response should consider that our faith is being tested during these difficulties, and we reap a reward for enduring.
The Bible calls us to preach the Word. But in order to proclaim God's truths, we must prepare by studying it ourselves and by being prepared to speak up, whether it is convenient or not, and regardless of how uncomfortable the situation may be.
