Contributed by Duane Wente on Jan 30, 2023

For the love of family. The family of God, the church, the bride of Christ should be a place where love is felt most, expressed as help, care, and support. Unfortunately that is not always the case. We need to learn from Scripture what it means to love the family of God.

On The Third Day

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Mar 2, 2023

Today, we are going to open the Sacred Scriptures of Almighty God and relive the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, we are going to remind ourselves of the truth of the Resurrection. Today, we are going back to the third day.

The resurrection story is captured in three words, "He is risen". Christianity rises or falls on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, our faith is a colossal fraud, it's a masterful hoax. If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, the songs ...read more

Why Light Doesn’t Always Lead To Sight Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 21, 2025

John doesn’t blink when he says the ultimate reason the Jewish people don’t believe is because of God. What you are seeing in Jesus’ ministry is the same that Isaiah saw in his ministry. God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.

One of the biggest challenges for the early Christian leaders was how many Jews were rejecting Jesus. The first two things Jesus’ disciples say about him in the Gospel of John are “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). And, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, ...read more

Purpose, Please Stand Up

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 12, 2025

Purpose rises when God’s word defines us, God’s anointing empowers us, and we step into the valley knowing the battle belongs to the Lord.

There are moments in Scripture when God doesn’t whisper purpose—He shakes it into the bones of His people. And one of those moments erupts in 1 Samuel 17 when a young shepherd boy, overlooked by his family and underestimated by everyone else, stands on a battlefield and shouts a question that ...read more

Living On The Edge

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 14, 2025

Living on the edge numbs the soul, but God’s mercy pulls us back from the drift and invites us into renewed holiness and freedom.

INTRODUCTION — “THE DANGER OF ALMOST” There is a way of living that looks safe, feels reasonable, and appears harmless — until suddenly it isn’t. A way of living that doesn’t plunge off a spiritual cliff, but tiptoes toward one. Scripture gives it a name: Living on the edge. Living just close ...read more

Should Christians Celebrate The Feasts?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 10, 2025

This passage has two troubling phrases: "make every effort" and "try . . . and not be able." What are we to do with those? And do they mean that God is setting up difficult barriers to get into the Kingdom?

WHAT DOES "MAKE EVERY EFFORT" MEAN? It doesn’t mean that it’s nearly impossible but that you should focus your attention. - Luke 13:22-24a. - Jesus is asked an important question: “[A]re only a few people going to be saved?” (v. 23). - That's a great question. What is the nature of ...read more
