Favoritism

Favoritism has been defined by the Oxford Dictionary as the practice of giving unfair preferential treatment to one person or group at the expense of another.
Favoritism has been a problem since the dawn of time. In the first family, recorded in the biblical text, the accusation of favoritism created a rift between Cain and Abel, leading Cain to murder his brother.
Favoritism is a problem today. One group or another is treated unfairly and unjustly. Scripture teaches that we are to honor others above ourselves. When we do that, favoritism falls by the wayside.
The Bible commands us to treat all equally. Join us as we gain insights from James 2:1-4 on some examples of favoritism along with some dangers of it.

A Look in the Mirror

Mirrors are incredibly handy! You can see if your hair is out of place or if you have something in your teeth before you stand up front and give your presentation.
Mirrors help us see around corners or even expand what we see.
And while mirrors are incredibly helpful, they can also be misleading and distorted. Mirrors lose their effectiveness if we see a problem but fail to address it.
The Bible is like a mirror. As we read it, we find how it reflects God’s teaching and how it reveals areas that need to be addressed.
Join us this coming Sunday as we look at James 1:22-25, discovering the importance of accurately assessing who we are so that we reflect God’s Word at work in our lives.

He’s Alive

As a culture we place a great deal of emphasis upon an eye witness in establishing the veracity of a claim. Is that not also one of the many valid approaches to determine if Jesus did indeed rise from the dead?
This Easter Sunday, we will look at the many witnesses who saw Jesus alive after His crucifixion. They saw a man who bore the marks of the nails in his hands and in His feet, even noting where He was pierced. This man, this Jesus, ate and drank, walked and talked.
At one point over 500 witnesses saw Him, verifying His resurrection.
Join with us as we look at the testimony of the witnesses.

Insights from a Donkey

Have you every wondered why Jesus chose to ride a donkey when he rode into Jerusalem on that first Palm Sunday? Why didn’t He ride a war horse or some other more valiant animal?
Zechariah 9:9, an Old Testament of the Bible written around 520 B.C., contains a prediction that the coming King of Israel would ride into the city of Jerusalem on a donkey. But what other reasons could there be for Jesus to enter into the city in that manner?
On Palm Sunday, we turn our attention to Matthew 21:1-11, as we discover some insights from a donkey and why they are important to us even today.

Accept Unconditionally

God said, “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God” (Romans 15:7 – NIV).

What does it mean to accept one another and how did Jesus accept us? Romans 5:8 tells us, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

When we accept others, it doesn’t mean that we condone or agree with everything they do and say. We overlook differing tastes, differing interests as we stand united in our faith in Jesus.

Walking in Wisdom

Do you struggle, wondering what is the best answer, the best approach, the best way to handle the challenges that come with living life?
The Bible gives an incredible promise in James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”
Woah . . . what an awesome promise. We ask and God promises to answer. Who could pass up an opportunity like that.
Do you need wisdom and insight? It all begins by our simple asking God in faith to provide an answer.

Triumphing Over Trials

How do you introduce yourself? How do others introduce themselves to you?
Often, we introduce ourselves by our occupations, by your background, by relationships for some other appropriate response that seeks to create a connection between you and the person with whom you are speaking.
But what if all you had to give was your first name, and the other person knew who you were and the importance you have simply by a first name.
Such was the way that James, the biblical writer of book of James introduced himself, simply saying, “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Join us as we look at the opening verse to the book of James as we discover the great significance of so few words of introduction.

Discipleship: I will follow You

Not everyone can be a leader. A true leader has followers.
If you believe you are a leader, and you don’t have anyone following you, you might just be out for a walk.
Multitudes followed Jesus while He was living on this earth, and multitudes upon multitudes have followed Him and continue to follow Him.
When He invited people to follow Him, most did, but some refused, fearing the cost was too great.
We invite you to join us this coming Sunday as we look at some seminal teachings from the Bible on the importance of following Jesus. We will seek to explain some challenging passages and then see what it means to follow.
You can join us onsite at 9:30 am. We meet at 740 N. 129th Street along the West Dodge corridor in Omaha, Nebraska.

A Biblical Pyramid

When we hear of a pyramid scheme, we think of something illegal that is focused primarily on the financial gain of those who start the scheme rolling. It is a multiplication approach, relying upon people to recruit others to give money toward the scheme and who then recruit even more.
In 2 Timothy 2:1-2, we find reference to a biblical approach to multiplication in minister where all who participate benefit and reap the rewards of belonging.
We want to invite you to join us as we discover how important a ministry of multiplication is and how it can benefit multitudes of people as we look to insights from 2 Timothy 2:1-7.
Our services start at 9:30 am. For those who are comfortable attending onsite, we meet at 740 N. 129th Street in Omaha, NE, at 9:30 am. For our online community, you can find us on Facebook at SpiritofFaithOmaha or online on YouTube. Join with us and grow with us as look grow in our faith, sharing the joy of knowing Jesus Christ.
