The Christian gospel is salvation by grace through faith, but that which makes us alive in Christ must also produce faith that works, love that labors, and hope that endures.
Join us as we start a new series through 1 Thessalonians! In verse 1, Paul, Silvanus (Silas), and Timothy write to a young church explaining what they need to continue to live and grow together as people who have come together in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
How should we as Christians relate to our parents? To children and adults alike, the fifth commandment to honor our parents still applies for our good today.
As our stewardship series culminates in a special Sunday of giving, the Bible teaches us that the right heart attitude is to worship humbly, to give freely, and to trust in the sovereignty and the goodness of God.
When have been entrusted with God's property to steward. With the one who is faithful, God will be pleased, but one's laziness may reveal the reality of a heart far from God.
Our lives should be characterized by profound generosity when we understand the principle of harvest, the perspective of cheerfulness, the promise of God's abundant grace, and the product of worship.
What shall we do? John the Baptist explains to the crowds that true repentance must result in true transformation, bearing the good fruits of stewardship, generosity, integrity, and contentment.
The view from the end changes our perspective of stewardship in the present. Remembering that Jesus is returning motivates our faithfulness to fight temptation and to use what we have for good.
The story of Peter shows us that that God is in the business of restoration and redemption, because in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, he makes all things new.
Does sacrifice really only lead to resentment? The apostle Paul is an example for us of someone who lived and taught the duty and the blessing of faithful, sacrificial giving.
