Loving All is the final element of Reframing Christmas. That is what Jesus did by His birth; he loved us all. How does that play out in our homes and families this Christmas? What does love really look like?

We continue to Worship Fully, Spend Less and look today at Giving More. It’s a time when we are encouraged to think outside and live outside our own wishes and desires and reach out with both with gratitude and with generosity. But as we have been discovering through our series, GIVE MORE doesn’t have to mean SPEND MORE!

What is it you want to get out of Christmas? What is it that would make your Christmas wonderful and satisfying? The Magi show us how to increase our level of joy at Christmas by looking for the right thing and giving in the right way.

The Christmas season comes upon us so quickly. How you assemble Christmas for your family will greatly affect your family’s experience. Actually, Christmas comes with a book of instructions! When all else fails, read the instructions.

God calls, equips and empowers the church for its ministry. We continue our review of the seven basic motivational gifts and look at characteristics of the Gifts of the Spirit as expressed in a believer, how they may serve in the Body of Christ and problems that might occur when the gift is misused or abused.

God is responsible for the spread and ministry of the Gospel. He calls, equips and empowers the church for its ministry. Spiritual gifts are powerful tools of God's design for the accomplishment of His will. The reality of these gifts is evident in the working of every church.

The fellowship of God as Father, Son, and Spirit has been opened to me by the gift of Jesus at Calvary. But I cannot truly experience their fellowship in isolation from all others who have been called into it. If we are going to preserve the “unity of the Spirit,” we must possess the necessary Christian graces.

Any addicted or dysfunctional individual may need an INTERVENTION to face their problem. This Psalm shows the healthy response to an intervention. David had heard the words of the prophet Nathan, "Thou art the man!" and judged himself guilty of adultery and murder. How did he respond and begin his recovery?

We normally have high expectations of ourselves and tend to place them on others about us in the church. The violating of our deepest values produces the worst of pain and guilt. "I would never do that" fails to recognize the frailty of man and the power of the tempter. There are warning signs that can detour us from spiritual defeat.

The word “Love” has been described as one of the most over used words in the English language. Even Christians can be quick to declare our love for things that are not deserving. Sometimes we need to be reminded of what real, life-giving love is. The Apostle Paul helps us with this in our text for today.

The Freedom To Be person of God made us to be is greatly hindered by patterns of thought and perception that keep us in bondage. While many are not plagued by addiction that has stolen their ability to control their behavior, many are deeply affected by patterns of thought and action that lead to a loss of victory and peace in their lives.

The Freedom to Be must avoid the bondage that can occur to people, when desires become drives and turn to addictions. The Bible is an ageless book that addresses the nature of man and his weaknesses and tendencies toward sin. The battles we face are ageless and the answer the same for all generations. Today we look at the way sin attacks us and how deadly it is for any life.

The Freedom to Be must avoid the bondage that can occur to people, desires, drives and addictions. The battle for freedom is not a physical battle for time, resource or position but a battle within. The control of our lives begins in the mind. Paul reminds us of this in our text for today.

We are living in a day where abdicated responsibility has become the normal and not the aberrant behavior. In the study of freedom we must recognize and comprehend the important role of responsibility. While many feel that they are not the ones shirking responsibility, it would do well for us to consider what responsibility really means from God's perspective.

While many feel that they are not the ones shirking responsibility, it would do well for us to consider what responsibility really means from God's perspective.

The keys to our spiritual freedom were gained at Christ's death. To choose to be free means leaving conformity to the law and its condemnation to walk in the liberty of the Spirit of God within you. How I live is the true measure of how free I am. How much of my life is a freedom experience?

We refer to ourselves as a freedom loving people. Despite the fact that we aspire to freedom in our personal lives, and defend freedom among the nations of the world, still there is something about freedom that makes us uncomfortable. Freedom is a dangerous thing for some and we know it. But just how free are we? Paul calls us to experience freedom to be.

Mission Trip Reflections from our Honduras and South East Asia Teams

God’s hand has been evident in America’s past and we need His divine guidance in our present to secure a future of freedom and faith for our children. Today we look at what God has to say about our relationship with Him and our responsibilities to our country.

David is in trouble again. It seems much of his life he was on the run. This psalm was, no doubt, written during a low point in David’s life. He is a cave dweller.
