    God, who is all good and has made everything good, never wills anything but good.

    Saturday of the 32nd Week in Course 2022 Take a look at this judge in the Gospel. You talk about corrupt politicians? This guy doesn’t even fear God, and has no respect for any human being. I don’t ever want to have that kind of guy pushing justice in a lawsuit or criminal trial. He would have no ...read more

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jun 28, 2025

     | 614 views

    This sermon warns against placing our trust in human leaders, reputation, or spiritual gifts, reminding us that true holiness and steadfast faith can only be found by fixing our eyes on Christ alone and walking in humble obedience through the power of the Holy Spirit.

    Misplaced Trust and the God who Never Fails Matthew 23:1-10; Acts 8:14-23; 3 John 1:9-10; 1 Samuel 8:1-7; Luke 22:31-34 To be “holy in all you do” (1 Peter 1:15) is no light command—it’s a high calling that reaches into every corner of our lives. In the Old Testament alone, Israel was given 613 ...read more

    Is Official/Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture? – Part 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025
     | 299 views

    This is the final part and we look at a numbers of issues here as well as two statements from Internet sites on why membership is important. Over and over I am opposing this notion that commitment is connected with official membership. It is judgemental and untrue. I hope this is of some value.

    IS OFFICIAL/FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE? – PART 4 We have been looking at some passages of scripture from Paul’s writings and in vain, do we look for even the slightest suggestion that a church has official membership that discriminates among the Christians ...read more

    The book of John is often neglected.

    Why? It could be because it is a small book. Illus: But we need to remember that “Dynamite” can come in small package. We know that size does not have anything to do with significance. John teaches many things in this third epistle for God’s church. Illus: Many of the movies that Hollywood ...read more

    Fellow Workers For The Truth

     | 916 views

    The Great Commision is the Lord's command. That is our task. In the first century until now, people have been working to accomplish that goal. And it is best done when done together. Giving support to undergird mission ministries is both an opportunity and a responsibility.

    Be Careful What You Imitate

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Nov 17, 2024
     | 881 views

    You have to be careful who and what you imitate. The results could be deadly. In life there are good examples and bad examples. People need to choose between the two. But even with warnings against bad examples, some people just don't seem to learn.

     | 1,856 views

    Can you picture a contrast of testimonies in your mind? A situation where there was a believer with a good testimony and one with a bad testimony. John contrasts two church leaders and mentions their testimonies that are complete opposites.

You can pick them out easily in those old movies because the good guy wears the white hat, and the bad guy wears the black hat. This letter makes it obvious who the good guy is and who is the ...read more
