The Mind-set of "Alien" Christians

Gary DeLashmutt

1 Peter 1:10-21

When the Apostle Peter explained our place in God's plan of redemption, he reminds us God had a plan from the beginning of time to rescue us that was kept hidden until Jesus came to earth. Peter challenges us to have a battle mind-set. We have urgency because we are in a battle and on a mission that matters. We have confidence because we are secure in God who has already delivered us from judgment.

Gary DeLashmutt

Colossians 4:7-17

A study of the associates of Paul who ministered with him can reveal many spiritual lessons. Three lessons we can learn from his fellow-workers in Christ are behind-the-scenes ministry roles are essential, our God is the God of second chances and intercessory prayer is a powerful ministry.

Teaching Our Kids to Be Givers Not Takers

Gloria McCallum

Acts 20:35

Jesus taught that it is more blessed to give than to receive. As parents, we don't have to teach our kids to be selfish or entitled. They are born knowing how to be self-centered. We are bombarded by the culture with messages of being a good parent means being child-centered. But research confirms what Jesus told us. We really are happier when we give sacrificially to others.

Making Disciples

Dennis McCallum

2 Timothy 2:1-2

Making disciples is about making community where good relationships are formed, people know the Word and people are meeting the needs of others. It is where each person is growing in all respects into Him who is the head, that is Jesus Christ. It is sharing truth in the context of a close personal relationship where you model, help, teach and mentor a younger believer.\r\n

Six Ways to Serve Under Adverse Circumstances

Conrad Hilario

1 Timothy 4:1-16

God is calling you to a life filled with true meaning and purpose. It is not a mistake that God has put you where you are. If God calls you to serve in challenging circumstances, focus on the things you do have control over. Don't be surprised when some people abandon the faith. Keep the central message at the center of what you do. Lead by example. Stand on the authority and power of God's written Word. Remember that God has called, equipped, and commissioned you to carry out your task. People should not only observe what we are, but also what we are becoming.

Embracing a Lifestyle of Love:Toward Non-Christians Part 1

Gary DeLashmutt

Colossians 3:17-4:1

Spiritual maturity is facilitated by receiving and focusing on God's love toward God, toward other Christians and toward non-Christians. This teaching focuses on sharing God's love toward non-Christians through our actions and deeds in our social roles among family, work, neighbors and community. Showing our love through our deeds will lead to sharing the source of our love. It opens doors for sharing the Love of God through Jesus.

Embracing a Lifestyle of Love:Toward Other Christians

Gary DeLashmutt

Colossians 3:12-16

Spiritual maturity is facilitated by receiving and focusing on God's love toward God, toward other Christians and toward non-Christians. This week we examine loving other Christians. God calls us to a love that forges observable unity, a love that humbly serves those who are messy and sinful, and a love that is fueled and informed by God's Word.

Principles in Serving the Poor

Chris Hearty

1 Timothy 5:1-16

Paul gives Timothy principles for meeting the needs of the poor. First, believers need to take care of their own family members before seeking help from the church. The church needs to focus on those members who do not have family to help them, who are unable to help themselves and who have a good reputation. The church should be generous but also smart!

Raising Up Qualified Leaders

Conrad Hilario

1 Timothy 3:1-2

Raising up qualified leaders is less about gifting and more about character. Rather than church leaders appointing people to leadership, new leaders should be recognized for already having mature spiritual character and doing the work of a leader. God raises up leaders, the church just recognizes them. If leadership is about influencing people, then you are leading people whether you realize it or not.
