I reali...  Read More

The Lord’s Supper This coming Sunday, we will be observing the Lord’s Supper.  In 1 Corinthians chapter 11, we find that the church in Corinth had distorted its purpose.  It is possible to become so accustomed to observing this ordinance that we too can become jaded to its importance, and we can become insincere in our partaking of it.For 2,000 years, the church has observed the Lord’s Supper and i...  Read More

This week Mikal Duncan is our special guest author while Pastor Kevin is away. We hope you enjoy her Words for Wednesday Expectations “Your paycheck is your thanks” This was the unexpected response I received from my team member after I expressed disappointment in not being acknowledged for my part in our latest project. Wow. I was stunned into silence. What could I say? He was right – harsh, but ...  Read More

It Just Doesn’t Matter When I was in college, late in my second semester, a bunch of guys from my dorm hall gathered in my dorm room. We had all been studying and preparing for our finals. The pressure of exams was really getting to us. One by one they trickled into my room, each complaining about some life issue that they were dealing with that was interfering with their studies. What we decided w...  Read More

Judgy One day, I was having a conversation with a young lady about sin. She said, “Aren’t you being a little bit judgy? Doesn’t the Bible tell us not to judge?” Well, she is partly right. The verse that she was referring to is Matthew 7:1, and this is often misquoted and taken completely out of context. Jesus wasn’t prohibiting us from judging, He was giving us warning about the way we live our live...  Read More

Your Foundation Matters Back in 2000, Capital One began an advertising campaign in which they asked, “What’s in your wallet?” For the last 24 years, they have built their entire advertising campaign on that slogan and it has become their advertising foundation. A foundation supports a building and resists movement to provide stability and durability. Paul pictured a believer’s life like that of a bu...  Read More

Silo Christians Have you ever driven out in the country and seen tall storage structures? These are called silos, and they are used for storing grain. The term has found its way into the business world and it describes an isolated group or division within a company that functions apart from others in a way that hinders communication and productivity. This is what happened to the church in Corinth. C...  Read More

You Never Know In Acts chapter 18, we find the account of the Apostle Paul in the city of Corinth. He converted many people to Christ and stayed in Corinth for a year and a half. When he first started in Corinth, Paul preached that Jesus was the Messiah in the synagogue (a synagogue is a place where Jews gather for worship and instruction). When the Jews rejected his teachings, he began preaching t...  Read More

Three Simple Words Jesus has called you and me to be His witnesses. In Acts 1:8(b) “…you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” Witnessing is simply telling someone about Jesus and then trusting God for the results. It can be as simple as telling someone, “Jesus loves you.”I heard an incredible testimony from a woman who w...  Read More

This week Kim Mayes is stepping in for me. I hope that you enjoy her Words for Wednesday. In Christ, Kevin Remember His Words “He is not here; He has risen Remember how He told you, while He was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified, and on the third day be raised again.’ Then, they remembered His words.”  Luke 24:6-8 Anyone who knows ...  Read More

The Resurrection This Sunday we celebrate the most remarkable event in human history. It was an event that changed everything. It wasn’t the cross and it was not Jesus’ death. The event that changed everything was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. That one event turned a group of shocked and terrified men and women into bold and courageous witnesses.During Jesus’ earthly ministry, the disciples con...  Read More
