His Death Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 30, 2003

As we look at Jesus, it’s important to realize that his death was no accident. The cross did not happen to Him – He came on purpose for it. His death resulted in our acquittal and gave us open access to the Father. Just as people have responded differen

The Case For Christ: His Death Rev. Brian Bill 4/8/01 I was on the wrestling team in High School. The wrestlers and the basketball players didn’t get along very well. We practiced on the gym stage while the wimpy round-ball guys ran around in the gym. There was a big stage curtain that we ...read more

Calling Evil Good

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 25, 2009

Man calls it an accident, God calls it abomination ... Man calls it a weakness, God calls it willfulness. We live in the last days when people have started to call evil good and good evil ... What will you say about good and evil? The choice is yours!

Opening illustration: Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman told of a distinguished minister, Dr. Howard, from Australia who preached very strongly on the subject of SIN. After the service, one of the church deacons came to counsel with him in the study. "Dr. Howard," he said, "we don’t want you to talk as openly ...read more

Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 11, 2011

This question haunts many of us, especially as Christians. We think that things should go well if we are blessed of the Lord. When bad things happen, even seemingly disconnected things like losing a job or getting into an accident, we wonder why? Paul won

Finally here in the latter half of Chapter 11, Paul defends himself to the super-apostles by listing his accomplishments. He does it very reluctantly as he should. Taking credit for what you’ve done was normative for the false teachers in Corinth but is “this age” thinking. God is ...read more

Wisdom

Contributed by Chris Beam on Apr 26, 2015

It’s not an accident that this book has been classified as "Wisdom Literature." In my opinion, it’s probably the most philosophical books of the entire Bible. But, it also contains more than just philosophical debate. It contains some very practical and down-to-earth wisdom.

Series: Vanity Topic: Wisdom Text: Ecclesiastes 7:15-29 Last week, I began my sermon talking about wisdom. This week I want to expand on that thought as we come to the seventh chapter of Ecclesiastes. It’s not an accident that this book has been classified as "Wisdom Literature." In my ...read more

Beware Of Stumblingblocks

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022

Have you ever tripped someone…on purpose? Perhaps it was a joke, but you still tripped them. Have you ever tripped someone by accident? Perhaps you weren’t looking where you were going and ended up getting in someone’s way, and they tripped right over you.

If you’re not careful, you will do the same thing in your Christian life. You will trip up your brothers and sisters in Christ without realizing it. When you do this, whether on purpose or by accident, you have become a stumblingblock, and this is what the Apostle Paul deals with in I Corinthians ...read more

Part 6 - Matthew 11:15-19 - Why Don’t You Dance To My Tune! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 13, 2010

Why didn’t He intervene when I had that car accident, or when my friend died of cancer? How could He let something like that happen?" It’s kind of like this - "JESUS, I PLAYED MY OWN MUSIC. WHY DIDN’T YOU DANCE TO MY TUNE."

Part 6 - Matthew 11:15-19 - WHY DON’T YOU DANCE TO MY TUNE! Rome, who is only 1 year old, picked up a plastic spade and began playing it, pretending it was a guitar. It has the right shape. Anything can become a guitar in his hands. He has seen guitars at Church and as he danced he made sounds ...read more

Series: Recovering Stolen Identity & Reclaiming Misplaced Destiny: Part 4b: God Can Use Detours To Get You To Your Destiny (Taking A Tour Through My Detour)

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020

Detours come during Development, Disasters, Accidents, Protocol, Apprehension (Sifting, Dragnet), etc. God rarely takes us to our destiny in straight lines - He normally has some development that requires detours. Abraham's detour was 25 years, Jacob's was about 20 years, etc. And yours?

Christ Crucified Is God's Power!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Feb 22, 2016

Why did that accident happen? If God is so good why didn't He step in & keep it from happening? God has the power to do it, doesn't He? If He has the power, then why didn't He? Does God really care about us?

MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 A. I thank God for this congregation for what you mean to me & for the privilege I have of serving here. I hope that you realize what a special blessing we have to be with each other, & to worship the Lord ...read more

When God Chooses A Leader

Contributed by Rick Hope on May 30, 2006

Moses was without a doubt one of the greatest leaders of all time but make no mistake, God was preparing him.

The (How To) Of True Potential

Contributed by Steven Spillman on Apr 23, 2008

It is the “how-to” side of understanding true potential and our real purpose in life.

1. The Universe is no Accident “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 We have to approach this whole idea of purpose and true potential from a perspective that such things as purpose and truth exist in the universe. If the universe and everything in it is nothing ...read more

The Exchanged Life

Contributed by Bruce Howell on Dec 13, 2007

Like the Wise Men of old, we come to the Savior and present ourselves to Christ and leave with inner treasures that will last throughout eternity.

Each year people make resolutions and talk about turning over a new leaf. It is a great time to focus on Beginnings!

Beginnings Part 1 - Reorder I. Introduction 2011. That is the stuff of science fiction.
