The 1 Essential Thing Series

Contributed by Byron Harvey on Feb 5, 2007

Third in a six-part series on the life of faith as seen in the person of Abraham

We have questions. God has answers. It is what we do with the answers God gives that makes the difference in our lives. Genesis 15 is effectively one extended, spirited conversation between God and Abram, punctuated by one crucial conclusion that forms one of the lynchpins of Bible theology when ...read more

1. The Generous Employer Series

Contributed by Don Jaques on Feb 13, 2007

The way into the Kingdom is by response to an invitation to come – not by justice (working for your wages). All people, regardless of background, can respond to God’s invitation and be rewarded with eternal life.

In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more

What do you do when God seems to be absent? What do you think when things go wrong, even though you’re faithfully following Christ? Has God forgotten you? Were his promises unfounded? What about when you know you’ve disobeyed him or ignored him? Perhaps you’re the one who has moved away from God. ...read more

#1 Exclusive Faith Series

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Jan 24, 2003

The issue our text addresses is that it insists that Faith in Jesus Christ Excludes Every Other Option. For the fact of the matter is that, for the most part, we only turn to Jesus when we have ran out of options: He’s usually our last option.

One of the greatest affronts to the majesty of the Master occurs when we ask His help in prayer, and then rely on Something or Someone else in addition. We have this tenacious tendency of using this Jesus/And strategy; Jesus/And… my money, my medicine, my doctor, my parents, my spouse, my friends, ...read more
