I'm excited about what Jesus is doing for me, and I'm excited about what I'm doing for Jesus. I'm excited about living a life that matters. I don't mean that in a self-centered way, but I'm thankful to have the privilege to preach the gospel message.

A pastor is a shepherd; someone who watches over our soul so that we can be spiritually healthy and successful.

This Memorial Day, look beyond the ceremony and observance of tradition. Remember the lessons of the past by making them personal.

The Early Church, Part 1 of 3

Larry Glander

When you think of the early church, you probably think of Paul, Peter, Matthew, and John. But the church existed before then; Jesus said "I came not to destroy the church, but to establish it." The early church started, in fact, with Abraham.

What if I told you that Abraham was a squatter? In Haiti, they build walls around their land before they build a house on it.

In this third part of the series, we cover:

• Christ's Ministry and Authority
• Recognizing God in us
• Messianic Prophecies Fulfilled

Who Is This King of Glory? (part 2 of 3)

Mike Jackson

For this week, we're talking about the Old Testament God, and how God communed with man in the Old Testament. Then we're going to look at the New Testament as it relates to prophecies of the Messiah. Next week we'll put it all together by looking at the New Testament and how God communes with man today.

We looked at the Godhead last week, especially as it contrasts with the doctrine of the Trinity.

In the times of Isaiah, the people had many different cultures and many different gods.

Who Is This King Of Glory, Part 1 of 3

Pat Mahoney

The title of this study comes from Psalms 24. "Who is this King of Glory" is something that a lot of people want to know.

We will be covering the following subjects:

• The King James Bible and other versions
• Historical References
• Manifestations of God and God's Roles

The Godhead is one of the most misunderstood doctrines in Christianity today.

Definition of Godhead

Strongs Greek 2304 theios (from 2316)

Divine in nature or essence.

Stewardship

Bruce Avants

This series has been a well for me. It is providing the water that will help me grow and carry on.

Four Signs of a Sensible Steward

1. Responsible
2. Relaxed
3. Ready
4. Rewarded

Jesus gave us two commandments that the whole rest of the Bible is built on. Those were to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength; and to love our neighbor as ourself. Stewardship is the application of those two commandments.

There are two books in heaven, the book of life and the book of works.

Jesus is a hard teacher; he gives the test first, and then the lesson.
