Greater Life Church

What indicators can you look for in a church that indicates they are true Christ followers? In chapter 14 of Romans, Paul dealt with the church about being mindful of others, especially those not as mature in their faith. We all desire to go to the same place, and our goal should be to go to heaven with as many people as possible. In Chapter 15, Paul lists a church's characteristics that align wit...

The word pit usually means an undesirable place or condition. A pit is not a place where we want to spend any time. The Psalmist says a pit is a place where God cannot hear your cry. Isolation is horrible, and we must remember that we are never truly alone because God is with us. Brother Long uses stories of people who found themselves in a pit to teach us how to survive life in the pits.

The discovery of the Empty Tomb has meant more that mankind than any other discovery in history. After all the disciples had witnessed, the empty tomb was almost beyond their understanding. Jesus had told them what would happen, but seeing it in person baffled them. They believed in resurrection but could not comprehend that it would happen now. Jesus left four things in the grave that are notable...

God’s people have a desire for spiritual things. They try to satisfy this in many ways, but one characteristic is missing from many people that will keep them from having true spirituality. 1 Corinthians 13 describes this one thing: Love. It is easy to love someone when they are lovable, but the real test of love is how we react when people are difficult to love. Our human nature does not want to...

We love the prosperity gospel. We readily receive messages about blessings and increase. Often we hear the preacher talking about blessing, but we look at our own circumstances and see storms and trials, not blessings. We can complain about our life and where we are, but even in dire circumstances, God wants us to increase. In our text, Israel was facing 70 years of Babylonian captivity. But even...

Our text says he was tempted in all ways like we are. He faced loss, disappointment, betrayal, and so much more. We can take all to Him, and He can encourage us from a place of understanding. He knows where we are and what we are going through. Jesus will meet us with grace, and his judgment will come from a place of mercy. He came to earth in fleshly form and experienced all that we do, so we can...

On-demand is the expectation of the day. We have come to expect things we want immediately, and when there is a delay or interruption, we become irritated. That expectation leaks over into our spiritual life. God is capable of immediate. The Bible is full of stories of miraculous healings that happened instantaneously. But time is of no consequence to God. According to second Peter, one day is lik...

Jesus, speaking to those who were the keepers of the law, tells them that He speaks what he has seen from His father and that they repeat what their father had said. It matters who the father of our words, thoughts, and deeds is. Our relationships matter, and we will affect the character of those that influence us.

Our text is the story of Lazarus. Mary called for Jesus to come, but by the time he got ther, Lazarus had passed. She says, “if only you had been here.” Mary knew about the past and believed in the future, but she could not comprehend the importance of Jesus in the present. Jesus used the situation to demonstrate the glory of his power. We, too, can be guilty of that same mindset. We have seen wha...

Some scholars believe that God began dealing with Noah to build the arc when he was 480 years old. If this is true, Noah started building 20 years before his first son was born. God laid out a plan to save Noah, his wife, and his yet-unborn sons and their wives. It took Noah 120 years to build what God directed him to do. This arc was not a luxury vessel and had no means of steering or propulsion,...

Some people do not want to be noticed, but most want recognition for their efforts, love, and work. Social media is full of photos, selfies, and posts to attract attention. Social media is supposed to make us feel more connected, but often it has the opposite effect. The woman in our text was not looking for attention or being noticed; she simply wanted healing. She tried to get away unnoticed, bu...

It is said that a mill cannot turn on water that has passed. Once the water has passed the impeller, it can no longer push the wheel to turn. Similarly, we cannot continue to operate on yesterday's blessing. We need a fresh flow daily to maintain a relationship with God. Our text says the fire on the altar should never go out, but the fire will not be fueled by the ashes left over from the previou...
