Avoiding Burnout

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

Serving the Lord is a privilege and honor. Yet, sometimes throughout our day to day walk with Jesus, the way can seem long and burdensome. Elijah also encountered some forms of feeling burned out while busy about God’s business.

Elijah after battling the prophets of Baal and running such a long distance was physically exhausted. He also became emotionally and mentally tired from confrontations and threats on his life. We can learn much from the life of this great prophet. Follow along with Brother Goodwin as he explains and expounds on how to avoid physical, emotional, and spiritual burn out.

Christmas Message 2006

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

We have all heard the wonderful story of Jesus’ birth. Yet, today’s culture has added so many rituals, traditions, and stories that have nothing to do with Christ. At this time of year, people remember that Jesus was sent to earth, however he was probably not even born in the winter season. When and why did people start celebrating the birth of Christ? Have we as a nation always taken time in December to think back on the day of Christ’s birth? What do the Scriptures say about celebrating this day? What is the real story of the man called Saint Nicholas?

Join Brother Glenn Goodwin as he chronicles the concept of Christmas and all its traditions throughout history. Knowing the truths that surround this holiday can help you to truly appreciate and find true joy in the fact that God did send His son to save his people from their sins.

It can be found when you are in the house that wisdom has built.

What is this house that is talked about in this Scripture? How is the wine mingled? How can we slay our beasts? Join Brother Glenn Goodwin in today’s lesson on the house that wisdom has built. Find out the answers to these and more questions as we follow along in our Bibles to learn of the true treasures in this life.
