The Weekly Offering Moment
It's not about supporting the budget or keeping the lights on. We offer a weekly Offering Moment for your spiritual growth. Are you, like so many of us, caught in the accidental idolatry of money? Will you engage weekly in the spiritual act of fighting that idolatry by thanking God, the true source of all of our resources? God promises that a freedom from idolatry of any kind can be a life filled with fullness and joy and love and freedom. He invites you into this life of giving generously.

Sermon: "Evangelism Unveiled"
Dr. Larry Eubanks
Dr. Larry Eubanks
So if the whole Bible is about Jesus, and Jesus came to save our souls from a fiery eternity—in other words, evangelism—then of course Sunday School, Bible Study, whatever you want to call it, was about evangelism.
Jesus never reduced salvation to a formula. The closest He came
“Love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself,” but what’s the formula for love? What equation expresses agape?
“Love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself,” but what’s the formula for love? What equation expresses agape?
And neither did He present God’s love as a transaction, grace as a commodity, forgiveness something that could be bartered with a sinner’s prayer.
If you want to attract people to Jesus, you can’t be full of hatred. You can’t live in a constant state of outrage at other people’s sins while being blind to your own sin. You can’t wed yourself to power and impose Christianity on everyone else. If you do, the only people you will attract are people who want to act like jerks, people who are full of anger. People who live in a constant state of outrage at other people’s sin. People who are intolerant of other races, ethnicities, beliefs, and opinions.
Look like Jesus - Love God and love your neighbor. And who is your neighbor? Even your enemies? Even your enemies.
