Better Than Anything - Philippians 3:7-9 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 3, 2022

Why is it so evil for a person to try to make himself righteous?

Philippians 3:7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

Contributed by Patty Groot on May 5, 2025

Comparison between the "Force" in the movie Star Wars and the power of Spirit living in Christians.

Good morning, church! How many of you have ever seen Star Wars? (Pause for a show of hands.) Even if you haven't, I bet you've heard one of its most famous lines: "May the Force be with you." It's a blessing, a word of encouragement. It's a way to say, "You're not ...read more

Wise Men Not Wise Guys

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 19, 2010

For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him?" Who were these wise men ... where ...read more

Scrooges: Man’s Personal Power To Thwart God’s Plan Series

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Nov 25, 2020

The Star and Stars of Christmas is a series of messages for Advent. Using the idea of a play on a stage. Each message will look at different characters in the Christmas story. The introduction takes a critical look at how many in our society are portrayed as celebrities—bigger than life.

It is amazing how understanding a person and a historical event gives a different way of looking at history. I enjoy reality fiction, especially in movies. For example, “The Man Who Invented Christmas” appears to be a fantasy movie. It is reality fiction. The story tells how Charles Dickens ...read more

Many Americans are star struck, enamored with stardom. It is like we idolize celebrities, to include animated and fictional characters.

All Nations Shall Serve Him

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 6, 2013

As surely as the ordinances of sun, moon and stars remain, there will be a king to sit upon the throne of David. That king is Jesus.

ALL NATIONS SHALL SERVE HIM. Psalm 72:1-7; Psalm 72:10-14. The name of Solomon is associated with Psalm 72, and it is quite possible that this sacred song was premiered on the occasion of his coronation. Yet it is evident that there were limitations to Solomon’s reign, and the monarchy fell into ...read more

The "Day Of The Lord” Study In The Scriptures – Additional References Part 7 - Isaiah Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 26, 2022

References to "The Day of the LORD" continue as we look into the Old Testament prophets (Isaiah here). We will see great fear, judgment, scorched men, Israel saved - a remnant, and God's compassion on Israel. God will refine His people. God is compassion.
