Lu5t Series

Contributed by Mark Eberly on Jun 9, 2008

The fifth deadly sin is lust. Like, the others, this one permeates our culture. It is everywhere. It tempts us all. It starts out so innocently but even the smallest seed can germinate to destructive proportions. We’ll see how to guard against it.

SE7EN: LU5T 2 Samuel 11; Philippians 4:7-8 June 8, 2008 The seventh deadly sin is lust. I hope you have been able to see how our culture and our lives are inundated with these sins and how they often run hand-in-hand with each other. Our cultural advertising motto is “sex sells.” Sex sells ...read more

Thomas The Doubter Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Thomas got tagged as the doubter because of his one experience. On this basis he gained a reputation as if he was a skeptic. The fact is we have as much evidence on record as we need to call him Thomas the dedicated defender.

Sometimes popular ideas about biblical characters are so accepted that one is compelled to go along with them almost as if they were inspired, but they are often arbitrary and superficial. No one ever calls John the Baptist John the doubter, yet his experience of doubt was far more serious than ...read more

Getting Better Or Bitter?

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 14, 2003

Asaph started to regress toward bitterness because he struggled with over-reacting to the prosperity, pleasures and privileges of others. We all have to choose to become better or slip into bitterness, cynicism and negativity.

It's About Seeing

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jul 28, 2011

Jesus stopped and had compassion for one of those blind men and I don’t think it was by just coincidence. We are going to look at this part of the blind mans life and how he was made whole forever

You would think that while Jesus Christ was teaching to His own people that they would sit in amazement and soak in all that He could teach them while He was here on this Earth. But that was just not the case. As a matter of fact it looks like that if they had studied and believed the Old ...read more
