  • Finding Forgiveness

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jul 9, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,124 views

    The funny thing about forgiveness is that it doesn’t just set them free, it sets you free, too. It frees you from the acid of resentment. It allows the wound to begin healing.

    Mary Karr’s uncle had endured all he could stand! The tall Texan grabbed his chain saw and began to split his own house into two halves. He was sick and tired of living with such an unforgiving woman to whom he had not spoken in months. He had enough. He divided his house and moved her portion ...read more

  • The Blessing Series

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jul 9, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,381 views

    Blessings aren’t like anything else we do – they are a pronouncement of God’s good that will come upon another. They are prayers of faith, said aloud, for the benefit of the hearer (the child) as much as for the benefit of the One listening (God).

    Blessings are important, aren’t they? We ask for them – and couldn’t survive without them. God is the ultimate “Blesser” – so He has asked the same of His people: for Christian fathers to bless their children. The entire chapter of Genesis 27 speaks of one such blessing – when Isaac blessed both ...read more

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Dec 15, 2009
    based on 19 ratings
     | 14,652 views

    Rather than painting a picture of an angry, brooding God, the Christmas story reminds us that God actually likes us and wants what is best for us.

    Living in God’s Favor Luke 2:7-14 7 and she [Mary] gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An ...read more

  • Christians Are To Live For The Lord Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Nov 15, 2010
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,518 views

    Christians are to live for the Lord by belonging to the Lord and each other and by accepting each other and appreciating them by not being judgmental or argumentative.

    Last week we noted from the end of Romans 13 that Christians are to live at the right time and the right place. If Christians do not grasp the truth that Jesus Christ can return to earth at any time, they will not have the right motive or the right power to live! When we get up in the morning, we ...read more

    "God expressed His love by living among us, by walking with us, & talking to us." That's what Christmas means. But what are the right attitudes we ought to have so that Christmas can really happen in our homes & lives?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. A question we'll undoubtedly hear many times between now & Dec. 25th is this, "Are you ready for Christmas?" I suppose what is really being asked is, "Have you put up all your Christmas decorations? Have you ...read more

  • Turning Complaints Into A Celebration

    Contributed by Paul Sizemore on Oct 10, 2016
     | 7,272 views

    Jesus was often judged harshly by the religious authorities in his day. The Pharisees and the scribes believed wrongly that he was condoning the sins of people whose company he shared. Instead Christ came to make of them "new creations" (2 Cor. 5:17).

    “Turning Complaints into a Celebration” Luke 15:1-10, Proper 19-C September 11, 2016 “Grumble”: It’s an interesting word isn’t it? And here we find it in the second verse of our Gospel lesson today. “And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying: ...read more

  • We Are Gomer

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 6, 2015
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,769 views

    James Montgomery Boice calls the enacted parable of Hosea and Gomer "the second greatest story in the Bible," a depiction of God's embracing, pardoning grace. In it we see that We are Gomer.

    We enact a parable of grace every time we observe the Lord's Supper. Another living parable was dramatized by Hosea the prophet. He was told by God to marry a wayward women who would prove to be unfaithful. He did so, to depict God's grace. It was not unusual for God to ask His prophets to do ...read more

    Have you ever been praying and suddenly your conscience says something like this to you: “Look at you! Who do you think you are to come before God and ask anything from him! Why just this week you did things and said things that would disqualify you from ever receiving anything from God. ...read more

    Jesus restored the leper, literally one whom society had pushed away, driven away, piled into the dump and forgotten about.

    Touched By Jesus June 3 2012 Mark 1:40-45 Intro: At first he tried to hide it. Perhaps no one would notice. Maybe it would go away. It could be nothing. But instead of shrinking, it grew.

  • The Spirituality Of Mutuality Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jun 19, 2012
     | 6,017 views

    Rom. 15:7-17 shows us several actions that are appropriate and should be expected from the people of God. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is accept one another and overlook perceived faults.

    The Spirituality of Mutuality Romans 15:7-17 Intro: Mutuality speaks of a reciprocal relationship between two or more people. It speaks of shared interests, values, and common goals. It involves give and take, and indicates a potentially close bond between the people involved. One major asset ...read more
