Serve The World. Part 1

Loving words and sentiments without loving acts to back it up are hollow. When you begin to love God, you automatically begin to love what he loves. . . people. And when you begin to love people, then you want to you serve them.

Love People. Part 2

It's one thing to say you believe something. It's another to actually follow through on what you believe. The heroes of faith in the Bible weren't known for their profession of faith, but the deeds that came as a result of their faith. To truly love people, we must go beyond saying we love them...and actually act on it.

The Sound Of Silence

There are times when it is necessary to speak out against injustice. To stand up and make our voices and protests heard. But there are also times when we're called to take a different course of action where we must trust that with God there is no such thing as injustice.

A 2022 To Remember

When it’s all over how do you think you will remember 2022? We can suspect what the coming year will bring, but if we've learned anything over the past few years, none of us really know what’s going to happen. In many ways, we have no control over what will happen in 2022. Yet, there are a few things we can take comfort in to ensure that 2022 will be a year to remember.

Losing Faith

Have you ever had the things you lean on for support in life kicked out from under you? It happened to David. One by one David lost his support systems, and the courageous shepherd who defeated Goliath was suddenly overwhelmed with fear. How do we overcome seasons of fear like this? How did David?

Stepping Up

The story of David and Goliath is a familiar one, and it's an important lesson on how to face life’s most difficult challenges with courage. But what really is courage? Where does it come from? And why is courage still as relevant to us as it was for David when he battled Goliath?

Finders, Keepers

We've all heard the saying..."Finders, keepers. Losers, weepers." In "Finders, Keepers" Otis Buckley, lead pastor of Highpoint Bible Church in the Bronx, NY shares how we can find rest in knowing our God is faithfully at work in our lives. Because the God who finds, is the God who keeps.

Only The Most Holy Are Saved?!

Any builder worth his salt knows that the most important part of any building is the foundation. The strength, stability, and endurance of the building is completely dependent on the foundation. The same is true for our lives. When the storms of life come, the foundation we build our lives upon will determine whether or not we will endure or, one day, collapse.

Standing In Awe Of God

There’s something about time and familiarity that causes us to become complacent. Over time, if we’re not careful, our worship can become like this. Our fellowship can become like this and our faith can become like this. It can become religious and routine. Let us seek the one who first sought us. Let us love the one who first loved us. Let us recover our awe of Christ.

Pray Right.

Prayer has the power to do amazing things in our lives and the lives of others. Even miraculous things. Maybe you have prayed before for sick loved ones to get well, but those prayers just didn’t seem to yield the results you were hoping. Is there a correct way to pray? In short, yes...at least James seemed to think so.

Abraham: Man Of Proven Faith.

True faith always produces good works. Works of self-sacrifice, charity, and kindness. True faith is right belief, coupled with right action. Few people have enacted truer faith in their lives than Abraham, a man whose journey helped him discover that it is not faith and works; it is not faith or works; it is faith that works.
