Walk Wisely – Week 5
The way we think about work is broken. We often see it as a necessary evil, but scripture presents a different way to think about it (Colossians 3:23-24). Though it is imperfect, there is goodness in work, and we should be wise about how we think about and how we engage in work (Proverb 12:11)(Proverb 22:29). God created us to work (Genesis 2:15), but it has been corrupted in the fall. We can still find meaning and joy in working…
Walk Wisely – Week 4
We are all a part of a family, and the Bible teaches us how to live wisely in families. Family is vital, and family is vulnerable (Proverbs 27:8). It is a critical part of our social and personal foundation. It has a deep influence in our lives, for good and sometimes not so good (Proverbs 6:16-19). It begins with honor and respect (Exodus 20:12). There is a structure to families, and discipline matters (Proverbs 23:13-14) (Proverbs 22:6); discipline comforts and…
Walk Wisely – Week 3
How do wisdom and money mix? Proverb 27:23-24. Money is morally neutral. It is the love of money that corrupts and damages. We must understand that everything, ultimately, belongs to God. If we put all our trust in money, it will fail us. Life is more than riches. Spend wisely (Proverb 21:20), save wisely, be wise about debt (Proverb 22:7), and be generous (Proverb 3:9-10). Our model of living is Jesus (God Himself); He was rich, “yet for your sake…
Walk Wisely – Week 2
There is great power and great danger in speech. There is great encouragement and great destruction in what we say. Speech can even carry the power of death and life, according to Proverbs 18:21. The destructive power of a lie is more than you know, yet we all have access to the absolute truth, Jesus Christ: the Word made flesh. We need to be wise with our words and know when to be silent. Speak prayerfully. Ask for guidance. God…
Walk Wisely – Week 1
We live in the age of information. There is more data at our fingertips than ever in history. However, all that information does not translate into wise living (Ephesians 5:15-16). The wisdom of Proverbs 1:1-7 tells us to pursue wisdom. It takes intentional living; do not reject or mock wisdom. Wisdom invites you to engage and grow (Proverbs 1:20-23). But it takes humility and an understanding that all wisdom is from God; He is eager to gift it (James 1:5).
Proverbs 3:1-12
Pastor Donnie Johnson teaches through Proverbs 3:1-12.
Practical Faith – Pt. 11
Is money evil? How is a Christian to view it, to use it? Kylan Kracher addresses that question as he teaches on James 5:1-6.
Knowing God by Name – Yahweh
God’s names reveal various aspects of His character. This week we study God’s most personal name: the name Yahweh, meaning “I AM.”
Knowing God by Name – Elohim
Names have meaning. There is a personal connection when someone recognizes you by name. God is referenced by many names throught the bible. Today let us look at the first name He is referenced by. Elohim, a plural non-personal title meaning strength and power. He is the power to create the universe and the strength of recreate you new.
Discipline of Prayer
Prayer is a discipline. It takes practice, it takes all sorts of forms and it is way more powerful than you think.
By Grace Through Faith – Pt.3
How is your walk with the Lord. Let me tell you about a time when Peter needed some correction from Paul about drifting from a message of Grace and falling into the trap of rules and works. The Gospel should effect how we live (humble, graceful an in truth) not bound to a set of rules.
By Grace Through Faith – Pt.1
Grace and Peace to you from God. Have no other Gospel than that of Jesus Christ, our deliverer, our rescuer. We must recognize He is not only our savior, but also our Lord and let Him lead. Seek to please Him alone. Either our faith is in Jesus or in ourselves.
