Before The Foundation Of The World

Contributed by Larry Lasiter on Jan 18, 2011

Eve was created solely from Adam - nothing else was added - Eve was not a composite. What was once a part of Adam’s body, without independent consciousness, became an extension of him as another life and together they became one flesh. Since the sai

Out-Of-The-Box-Worship

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024

Worship doesn’t involve behaving as if nothing is wrong; it’s making sure everything is right—right with God and with one another. When our greatest fear is letting down our hair, perhaps our greatest sin is keeping it up.

Opening illustration: Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to church so that people will think well of us. Metaphorically speaking, we work hard to make sure we have every hair in place. But a healthy church is a place where we can let down our hair and not hide our flaws behind a ...read more

An Outline Of Acts 5:17-42

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 6, 2021

The apostles were taken into custody another time and stood trial the next day. Compare what Peter said, and what Gamaliel said, as responses to the charges! This outline is revised from one I used in preaching a miniseries on Acts several years ago.

Introduction: the apostles were healing people, through the power of God, so much that even people from outside Jerusalem were bringing their sick folks there for healing. Verses 12-16 give a brief summary of these activities. All of this no doubt led to the high priest and others taking action to ...read more

And He Said He Would.

Glory Of The Believers Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Oct 15, 2022

The Church has lost primary focus on Missions and Evangelism, fellowship rather involved accusing one another on the basis of food, clothes, and a few habits pertaining to various cultural identities, causing many to stumble in their faith walk and lose their commitment to Christ and to the Church.

Romans 14:17-23 Glory of the believers Nature of the Kingdom of God Paul points out to his readers and listeners that the Kingdom of God is not related to food habits and approved drinks. The Kingdom of God is spiritual, apolitical, and beyond food and drinks. Discussion of Foods and their habits ...read more
