Miraculous spiritual gifts have passed away. But God has appointed everyone in the church with gifts to use for the common good.

Miraculous spiritual gifts were given to strengthen and confirm the body of Christ in its infancy. Paul warned that those gifts "will be done away." And they were.

When Christians become one with Christ, the many become one body. But there are forces that weaken the body. Flee from them.

Ryan shares a message today about the importance of standing up and fighting for truth.

Running the Christian race is difficult, but God is faithful. He will help you endure and win the prize!

The time of harvest each fall reminds us that it is the Lord God who provides all we need to survive, and much more. But it is good to remember all His spiritual blessings... including you!

There is a prize at the end of this life. But you have to run in such a way that you may win. Are you running?

Followers of Jesus have wisdom from above, so we should be confident to share the truth of Jesus Christ with the lost. But we also need to be careful to not let our knowledge of the truth lead to arrogance.

Followers of Jesus have wisdom from above - so be leaders!

When the Son of God came to this world He did not turn around and leave because He discovered that we were all sinners. Instead He associated with sinners so that He could save them. Will you?

It's fun to think about super-powers and how we could use them. There is nothing wrong with using the imagination that God gave us. But we also need to know the power that God HAS given to us and use it!

Much of our personality and behavior comes from us imitating others. So, be careful who you imitate!

Jay shares a message today.

If God asked you to design and build a physical house for Him, what would you design and build?

Scripture often encourages us to not be afraid. That makes sense because we often have fears! Even the great apostle Paul acknowledged his fears. It's okay to have fear, but how will you respond to those fears?

As Christians, we should respect those in authority. But that does not mean that we should always believe them. God's word is truth, and we trust it above all.

We are told to eagerly await the day that our Lord Jesus Christ will be revealed but why should we be eager for that day?

This world (and our lives) will have an end, so get ready for that day!

Jay shares research on how Jews during Jesus' time would have thought about baptism.

God gives, gives, gives! He treats each one of His children as if they are His favorite.

Trying to figure out what others think about us is one of the devil's traps. We need to make our words and behavior align with God thoughts, not man's. But do not dismiss others; we need each other!

People constantly assess verbal and non-verbal cues to figure out what others think of them. Though sometimes this kind of thinking is necessary, those in Christ are free from the stress and miscommunication that often results.

Some things are "disputable matters" - is baptism one of those?

The Apostle's Creed is one of the earliest statements of faith outside of Scripture. It was not written by the Apostles. It became the basis for other creeds in response to alleged heresies. But creeds are not necessary if we let Scripture speak for itself.
