    Christ has very many disciples throughout the whole world today. Every Christian should be a disciple. Unfortunately, this is not so and that is why the church of God has problems. We need to make a distinction between being a Christian and being a discip

    Soul For Sale

     | 9,586 views

    In America, you can metaphorically and literally sell your soul and be rewarded for it. One wonders how the purchaser intended to collect. We can’t literally sell our soul, but we can lose our soul to gain something else. We need to ponder Jesus’ question

    Opening illustration: One would think that selling one’s soul, as Faust offered his to the devil in Goethe’s Dr. Faustus, is only a figment of literary fiction. Medieval as it seems, however, several cases of soul-selling have occurred. Wired magazine reported that a 29-year-old university ...read more

    How Do We Overcome Temptation? (Luke, Part 3) Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 7, 2022
     | 1,729 views

    None of us is immune to being tempted … but we all can overcome by following the same model that Jesus provided for us. When you resist him, you are choosing the things of God; you are choosing to turn away from the quick pleasure fix (of sin) and seeking His way to guide your life.

    Introduction / Recap - We know that Luke was a physician – helped Paul throughout his ministry -- He was most likely a Gentile from Antioch (Syria) addressing a Gentile audience - Examining the language of the text indicates that he was well educated -- Familiar with Greek; well versed in ...read more

     | 2,600 views

    At times, I wish more of the decisions of life were like the decision we made at salvation. A one-time thing. But it seems every day we are called on to make decisions, we just made the day before.

    1. Jesus was confronted with indecision His entire life. a. Not personally, but with and in His ministry b. He was continually giving people a choice c. John 6:60,61, 64-69 d. Matthew 10:32 2.

    Why "once Saved Always Saved" Is Such A Dangerous False Doctrine

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,318 views

    Why do we cling to error, even when the truth is so clear? Perhaps it is because we prefer a certain formula that we find comforting.

    Hebrews 3:12-14 "Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to ...read more

    There’s power in making the decision to give the gift He really wants: to "follow Him." But in this story in Luke, 3 men tell Jesus that that is precisely what they want to do. So why isn’t Jesus content with their gift?

    OPEN: About three years ago, Dave Barry made this observation about Christmas: "Your standard man, at this point in the Christmas season, has purchased zero gifts. He has not yet gotten around to purchasing an acceptable gift for his wife for last Christmas. He did give her something last ...read more

    Sometimes we presume to play God's part and forget about our part.

    Things are not always as we want them to be. Disappointments, disasters, distresses, diseases, dilemmas, discouragement and depression destroy our dreams and desires. Problems seem to be the norm and solutions seem inadequate. Our need is urgent, and we see no light at the end of the tunnel. ...read more
