    There are, still today, many congregations that are full of bickering and selfishness. These things tear the church apart and keep them from fulfilling God’s call in their life. Paul addresses this sort of church when he wrote to the church in Corinth. Hi

    1st Corinthians 1:1-9 January 20th, 2002 To hurting congregations! What matters most is what God offers first! Most would say that a recipe for disaster is to take people with different views, ideas, attitudes, backgrounds, and agendas and stick them all in one place. The result would be ...read more

    Peace is not the absent of storms. God can give us peace on the inside when there are storms on the outside.

    The need of peace Confusion, frustration, tension, violence, sickness, and even death are widespread in our world. We see family against family, members against members, and countries against countries. We agree we need peace. Where politicians, Saints, and consumers ...read more

    Do We Really Need Each Other?

     | 2,466 views

    When I'm not doing well, it is often because I am going it alone. I don't always let others in. I forget to ask for help; I keep my problems to myself. And though I may not see it, others around me might be doing the same thing.

    Do We Really Need Each Other? Text: James 5:14-16 Many living things need each other to survive. I have lived for most of my life near trees known as Colorado aspens. If you are familiar with this tree, you may have noticed that it does not grow alone. Aspens are found in clusters, or groves. ...read more

    Nailprints Don't Lie

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 19, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,663 views

    Thomas dealt with his loss by postponing his choices and by absenting himself from the community. We do the same; but the nailprints of our shame and our guilt tell the truth about us.

     We respond to loss in a variety of ways. There is no predicting how people will act when they lose something they cherish. I have seen everything from screaming and wailing to solid stoicism to outright laughter. I have conducted funerals where people have wept openly, and others ...read more

    God don’t see him as a man, made in the divine image of God, but as a wild animal, under the control of Satan. He is a man but he is energized from hell, for he comes out of the pit, we’re told this two times.

    Rev.# 45~13:5-10 THE ANTICHRIST 3-6-10 In chapter 13: as we have already stated the two worst people in all of human history appear on the scene. They are called “beasts.” They are not animals; they are called beasts because of the cruelty of their reign. God don’t see him as a ...read more

    As believers, our perspective on death is different from that of the world. We do not mourn as those without hope because we know that death is not the end.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (KJV) 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose ...read more

    Do you feel insignificant in your service to God? You may be more powerful than you thought. Or do you feel pretty secure? You may be more in need and weak than you thought. Take some advice from Philadelphia and Laodicea.

    Even as the Philadelphian church doesn’t receive even one rebuke - the church at Laodicea receives not one commendation - the contrast couldn’t be more stark - and that’s not the only contrast we’ll see as we compare these two churches. -The church at Philadelphia was small in appearance but ...read more

    For the anniversary of the Lai Baptist Church of Gaithersburg, a Burmese congregation. You came as strangers, but God has made you His own. Now we American Christians, who have strayed from what we once were, need your passion among us.

    Sometimes people of differing cultures fail to understand one another. Sometimes people with differing backgrounds cannot grasp what others are all about. So they end up hurting one another, when, really, they need one another. If you do not understand your neighbor, and if your neighbor is ...read more

    What Jesus Really Means

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 15, 2024

    Jesus made strong statements about His "body and blood" that could be misinterpreted as "cannibalism." However, Jesus meant something so much deeper as the Atoning sacrifice for sin.

    JESUS IS CAUSING QUITE A STIR AMONGST THE PEOPLE. THERE IS A RISING DISPUTE AMONGST THE JEWISH LEADERS INSINUATING A POSSIBILITY OF CANNIBALISM. MANY FOLLOWERS ARE TAKING THE WORDS OF JESUS LITERALLY THAT HE IS SPEAKING OF EATING REAL HUMAN FLESH AND BLOOD. IS THIS FOR REAL? JESUS DOESN’T SEEM TO ...read more
