    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 11, 2013
     | 7,353 views

    There are times when the Lord said wait. There are other times when He said GO! In this lesson we'll explore some of our Lord's GO! commands.

    Many times in the scriptures the Lord commands His people to wait. Such passages as Psalms 27:14 “Wait on the Lord… Wait I say on the Lord!” or the words of Habakkuk 2:1 when prophet said “I will stand my watch…” and wait for the Lord. We understand the value ...read more

    Understanding Baptism

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013
     | 4,795 views

    There's a lot of confusion in the religious world regarding baptism. In this lesson, we'll survey the NT teaching on the ancient practice and learn the why's behind doing it.

    The words of Ananias in Acts 22:16 are simple to understand. There’s nothing complicated about them. Nothing complex or ambiguous; “And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” And yet the religious world of today, ...read more

    How To Give A Defense For Your Hope

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013
     | 5,781 views

    We're supposed to be prepared to give a defense for the hope that is within us. But how are we to go about that? Using Paul's defense in Acts 26 we'll lay the ground work for sharing your hope with others.

    In Acts 26:1-23, the apostle Paul is standing before King Agrippa and makes a compelling defense for the hope that was in him (Acts 26:1 ESV, 21:6; 1 Peter 3:15). As we read his defense (or sermon if you will,) we’ll learn some valuable tips that will help us all in presenting a defense for ...read more

     | 15,893 views

    In the midst of a crisis it becomes easy to forget God's promises.

    It a plain and simple fact of life, if you’re breathing you will experience a crisis of biblical proportions. Maybe your crisis is a divorce, or a job loss, or foreclosure, or the death of someone close, or a prodigal child, or the betrayal of a close friend, or abuse, or you are told those ...read more

    Make Room For Jesus

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013
     | 20,990 views

    When the Savior was born, no one made room for Him? Will you make room for Him in your life?

    There is no doubt that we are busy people. Between careers and work, families and friends, gardens and yard work, hobbies and recreation, and school it’s any wonder that we have time to do anything. I want to challenge the notion that we're too busy with some thoughts from a lesson entitled ...read more

    To The Praise Of His Glory

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013
     | 4,173 views

    Why did God send Jesus to save us? It might surprise most Christians to learn it wasn't so we could go to heaven? So what was it? In this lesson we will explore why God saved us.

    There is no doubt about, our God is a great God. Need proof of that? Let’s take a quick look through Ephesians 1-3 and learn how He has “blessed us with every spiritual blessing” through Jesus Christ (1:3): - God has blessed us by adopting us as His children (1:5, 2:19) - God has ...read more

    The Promises Of An Empty Tomb

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013
     | 7,409 views

    It seemed all the hopes and dreams of the disciples were dashed when Jesus died on a cross but then came the news His tomb was found empty. His empty tomb held so many promises. We'll consider some of those promises in this lesson.

    n the day that Jesus died on the cross, it seems that the hopes and dreams of His disciples were crushed. Their teacher had been killed. Judas, one of their own, had betrayed Him and now he was also dead. The crowds that once had flocked to Jesus were no longer around. The events of the last few ...read more

    3 Life Changing Truths Based On God's Impartiality

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 10, 2013
     | 6,335 views

    "God shows not impartiality." We know this to be true but what difference should it make in our lives? We'll explore 3 life changing truths based on God's impartiality.

    I remember growing up hearing from the KJV that, “God is no respecter of men.” I have to admit it sent a rather confusing message. I was supposed to respect people, but God did not. Since then, I have learned a little bit more about God, His relationship with humanity, and I also ...read more

    Our Everyday Need For God

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 4, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,906 views

    Most people, Christians included, use prayer like a fire extinguisher. They only use it when there's a fire. Truth is we have an need for God every moment of our lives.

    When do you need God? Most people (Christians included) only reserve God for the “this-is-so-tough-I-can’t-do-this-without-you-God” moments of life such as when life-threatening sickness comes, death visits us, or financial anxieties take control of our lives, or when career ...read more

    God's Grace Is Not A License To Sin

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 4, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 16,783 views

    Just because we're saved by grace, that doesn't give us a license to sin. In this lesson we'll expound upon Paul's words in Romans 6:1, "Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound?"

    “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” Romans 6:1 On the surface it seems strange that anyone, especially Christians, would think that it would be okay to continue to sin so that God’s grace may abound toward us. Yet, it seems that was the ...read more

     | 12,132 views

    There's a Pharisee in me just waiting to come out.

    As I continue to grow and understand the gospel of Jesus Christ and learn more of God’s grace, I have become more conscious of a struggle that rages within me. It’s a struggle between the man I so desperately want to be and the man I have the tendency to be. I struggle, because I know ...read more

    Have you ever felt as if the Holy Spirit was leading to perform some action for God? Maybe you felt as if the Holy Spirit was leading you to partner with some ministry, or to believe some doctrine, or to go aid a certain person. While the way in which the Holy Spirit leads us can be debated at some ...read more

    An in depth look at Titus, Paul's partner and fellow worker in the faith.

    When we survey the later part of the book of Acts we find a faithful band of men and women who traveled the ancient world preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. At the center of this sojourners and pilgrims was the apostle Paul, the tireless workhorse of the early church. But Paul ...read more

    What's are Christians to do in a politically obsessed nation? That's what we'll cover in this lesson: Jesus, Elephants and Donkeys.

    There’s been a lot talk the last couple of weeks about the health care bill that was signed into law today and how it will doom our country. Many of my friends have written passionate pleas for the people of this country to rise up in opposition against this president, his policies, and the ...read more

     | 4,832 views

    Those who assume positions of influence and leadership must be willing to pay the price to hold such positions. In this lesson we'll explore the price Peter paid in Antioch when he played the hypocrite and was rebuked by Paul.

    There are people in this world who possess the natural ability to lead and command the respect of others. Whether you call it charm, charisma, magnetism, or whatever, such people wield a powerful influence on those who look up to them as the embodiment of all they would like to become ...read more
