    Jesus redirects some misconstrued Scriptures.

    I. RESIST NOT EVIL. Matthew 5:38-42. MATTHEW 5:38. Oh - it is hard - but “eye for eye, tooth for tooth” belongs to the law courts (cf. Leviticus 24:20), not to personal vendettas. MATTHEW 5:39a. Jesus rather enjoins, “Resist not evil.” MATTHEW 5:39b. Traditionally, the slap across the cheek ...read more

    Evil and good are at work in this world. Good always wins over evil. Jesus talked about it when He said (John 10:10 NIV) "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

    Good Always Wins Over Evil By Greg Johnson April 22, 2007 http://www.LovingGodFellowship.org I was sitting in Atlanta’s airport yesterday waiting for a connecting flight to take me home to Oregon when God began speaking to my heart about events that took place during the week.

    Will you put away evil speech? God calls us to do just that. Let’s examine our study today for HIS guidance.

    Some choice thoughts about the Tongue: About Abrasive Speech Many a blunt word has a sharp edge. Keep your words soft and sweet; you never know when you may have to eat them. About Gossip Gossip is like soap -- mostly lye! A gossip is just a fool with a keen sense of rumor. About ...read more

    Understanding Why God Allows Evil

    Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Aug 13, 2024
     | 686 views

    This sermon digs deeper into the question why God allows evil and how it fits into His grand plan.

    Before we dive into today's sermon, let me share a little story with you. A man was having a conversation with God and asked, “God, why did You make the world so full of trouble?” God replied, “So you could have something to pray about!” The man thought for a moment and said, “Well, I ...read more

    Sin Leading Unto Death

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,875 views

    The Bible tells us that there is a sin that leads unto death - one single sin - and it might not be what we expect. In fact, this one disqualifying sin will exclude us from ever going to heaven and receiving eternal life. So, what is this sin?

    If there was a crime worthy of death, what would it be? Would it be murder, rape, spouse abuse, adultery, theft, gambling, or perhaps lying? Many of us would say that murder is worthy of the death penalty; and if any of us had a child that were raped, we would probably believe the person who ...read more

    How money and stuff can get a hold and keep us from having a satisfying life in Christ

    How do we find contentment? Well the text talks to us this morning about how great contentment is, it tells us it is of great worth, it is of a great value when it’s paired with godliness. Now I think in order for us to be content we need to look at what makes us discontented. So just in ...read more

    Don’t Play With Ghosts, Witchcraft Or Mediums

     | 821 views

    The Halloween Season seems innocent and as something laughable, but under the veneer is a real danger. God, who's much wiser than us, warned us to stay away from all witchcraft, necromancy, spirits, and satanism. Warn your friends of this menace.

    DON’T PLAY WITH GHOSTS, WITCHCRAFT OR MEDIUMS Deut. 18:9-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. This reminds me of the two old baseball players, Abe and Jake, who made a deal. Whichever one died first, he would come back and tell the other guy if there's baseball in Heaven. 2. A few months later, ...read more

    The Beast From The Sea: A Portrait Of The Antichrist (Revelation 13:1-10)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2024
     | 566 views

    Revelation 13 gives us a detailed picture of Satan's counterfeit Messiah, whom the Scriptures call the Antichrist. He is "the Man of Sin" who will delude the whole world into following him with horrific consequences and eternal regret.

    Revelation 13 gives us the description and work of the prophesied Antichrist. The Bible describes this agent of Satan as "the man of sin" (2 Thessalonians 2:3) and "the Son of Perdition". He will be the worst blasphemer, the worst hater of God, the worst dictator, the worst ...read more

    The guilty argue with God and there is no repentance. Again God requests that Judah remembers her past devotion and return to the Lord. Idolatry is everywhere and the innocent poor are killed. There is no justice anywhere and delusion is rampant.

    Snout Beetle

    Treating a weevil infestation means throwing out all contaminated food and grains. It may seem drastic, but this will prevent the possibility of an egg or weevil going undetected and starting the cycle again.

    Snout Beetle! 1 Thessalonians 5:22 “Abstain from every form of evil.” Weevil also called snout beetle has a downward-curving snout! They are destructive to nuts, fruits, stems, and roots; they are pests, feeding on plants and gnawing away at the roots. Another word for them is ...read more
