Ep #71 Complaint to Contribution

We all know someone who complains about everything, and if we’re honest, sometimes that person is us. Complaining might feel small, but it can rob us of joy, damage relationships, and even blind us to God’s blessings. In this message we’ll look at what Scripture says about the dangers of a complaining spirit and discover how to replace grumbling with gratitude. Through real-life studies, biblical examples, and practical wisdom, you’ll learn the dangers of complaining and how to break free from the cycle of negativity and experience the contentment that comes from trusting God—no matter the circumstances.

Our building was originally constructed in 1861 and is the oldest protestant church building in continuous use in our county. Many people have come and gone throughout the generations, but our goal will always remain: To Serve Jesus only, and learn from His Living Word, the Scriptures. Our small church body are all admittedly sinners, that openly strive to improve our walk daily, but also understand that we are Redeemed by the shed blood of Christ Jesus and declared innocent in God’s eyes due to Grace Alone! There is no act of baptism, charity or observation of communion that deems us worthy. No amount of following the law of Moses, or the ever-popular observation of legalism in many churches today that will save us. That is us believing in ourselves, rather than what Christ did for us completely. If you struggle with understanding the concept of salvation or are plagued by false teachings of following traditions rather than Christ alone, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to help! Please watch our archive of messages on a variety of topics.
