Some might see putting money in the offering plate a one-way trip to nowhere. "I had ten dollars, now I don't..."
Jesus told a parable exploding this myth once and for all. The bottom line: money given to transform the lives of others bears a thousand-percent return-on-investment. That's because the real bank is in heaven, not downtown. Today: more lessons from Luke 16.

Wise money managers know the term ROI: return on investment - the bottom line when putting cash at risk...
Christians have bank accounts on earth, but also, accounts in heaven. They lay up treasures "where moth and rust do not corrupt." Today, we'll learn why the long-term view is best: investments in things eternal bear a return we cannot even imagine.

Ever feel manipulated when a preacher says "God is watching" as the offering plate goes by? Some people have...
Fact is, though, He is watching. Jesus was in the Temple courtyard, watching as the rich made sure the crowds saw them give. Then, He peered intently at a poor widow who dropped her last two mites in the treasury. The object lesson was clear.

It's always big news when a wealthy benefactor drops a few million on a college or pays for a new hospital wing...
But no one seems to notice a poor person giving a quarter to someone else in need. That is, no one but Jesus, whose keen eye watched a lady entering the temple courts one day in Jerusalem. Could you ever be commended by God for giving, like this woman, all you have?

An old proverb says "many hands make light work." In the church, everyone has a part in meeting financial needs.
In the book of Exodus, we read of the building of God's tabernacle. There's great detail on everyone's contribution, both of time and treasure, to make the project a success. When we see giving as an act of worship, we cease focusing on the money and begin focusing on God.

We know that God is always with His people, as He's promised to be. But there are times of His special presence in power...
These are known as times of revival, times when new life comes to the church, and then to the community at large. When this happens, we say that "God has come to church." Today, an encouraging look back to times when God indeed came to church, and words of hope that He'll do so again.

Some of us are early risers. We hit the ground running, do our day's work, spend time with the family, and then hit the sack at bedtime...
Others are night people...preferring to sleep in and then work and play in the dark. The Bible talks about day people and night people as well, although in a different way. Today, find out if you're a day person, or a night person...the distinction is crucial.

When it seems the news can't get any worse, it does. Many wish for the Lord's return, to put an end to the bad news...
The Christian knows that this world is not his home, he's just passing through. In First Thessalonians we learn of the glorious return of Jesus to set right all that is wrong, and, to take His followers to be with Him. As we wait, the church is called to be watchful.

When God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone, He most assuredly was not handing down the ten suggestions...
There are laws at work in the spiritual universe: laws that can neither be debated, nor circumvented. We may claim freedom from the law as believers, thinking we can do as we please. But God has a word for those of us who feel this way, a word brought to us by the Apostle Paul.

"Be still and know that I am God..." That's getting tough with many of us glued to the internet or our wide screen TV's...
In one sense, we have way too many options to fill our time. A thousand voices scream at us via radio, cable TV, DVDs, and the World Wide Web. Developing godly character requires developing our inner lives. Today: words of challenge on holiness.

Taking a stand for what's right means going against the prevailing tide. To do this, we need strength from God...
To a large extent, that strength comes from developing a life of prayer. The Apostle Paul modeled this for us in his writings to the church at Thessalonica in ancient Greece. Today: how prayer gives us the courage to hold our ground for the truth of the gospel.

There are times when believers can no longer be passive. When the tide of evil rises, we can and must take a stand...
It's not always popular to be seen taking a stand. But when God comes in unusual power to a church, we often see courage and resolve that was not there before. Today, how the ancient church in Thessalonica took their stand, and how we can imitate them today as darkness settles over our land.

Everybody likes a servant. We all enjoy being waited on. But not many of us like being the ones doing the waiting...
Servants have to serve even when those they serve don't appreciate it. They know that God watches their service, and is pleased. A church that serves is a church where God's presence is felt very strongly. That's a lesson we're taking home from our current study on revival.

"Taking care of number one" is how most people set their priorities. It's unusual when people give others first place...
That's what happens in a church experiencing the direct moving of God in their midst. A desire to serve others rises to the top, as it did in ancient Thessalonica. Paul commended this church for their service, and today, we'll learn the lessons they learned so long ago.

When all around us is turning to dust, we can still experience the joy of knowing that God remains on His throne...
The church in Thessalonica underwent persecution, but nonetheless exhibited the joy of the Lord despite their trials. That's what happens when God's presence is very real, as it is during times of revival. Today: a further look at a church when God "shows up."

History records several great awakenings in Europe and America, and there's no doubt we could use another one now. What are the indications that God is making His presence known in an unusual way? Today, we begin a series from one of Paul's epistles that tells us what they are.

Adam and Eve had it good, real good, back in the Garden of Eden. But they tossed paradise aside when they disobeyed God. Many marriages begin happily, but then descend into conflict as husband and wife display the latent rebellion that's marked every human since that first couple. Today: how to apply God's solution to man's deepest problem, and heal broken relationships. Stay with us.
Series: Till Death Do Us Part
Endangered species: some environmental activists fret about the fate of the snail darter, or, perhaps the spotted owl. But the real endangered species is the family. Fractured, broken, stressed, dysfunctional...all these words describe a crisis in the most basic unit of society...a crisis that begins when marriages fail. Today: a candid look at the causes of these failures.
Series: Till Death Do Us Part
Anyone who thinks that marriage is the magic door to happiness might want to note that fully half of all marriages fail today. The resulting carnage of divorce and shattered families leaves a trail of dysfunction for generations. God intended marriage to develop character, not just fulfill sensual desire. Those who opt out of their marriages miss many rewards. Today: what those rewards are.
