    The Trinity And The Great Commission

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 2, 2015
     | 7,838 views

    Jesus is with us through the power of the Spirit, who will take what is his and declare it to us. By his Spirit we can bring the Gospel to everyone and use what the Father gave us for the well-being of others.

    Today is the one Sunday in the church year when we do something just a little different. Instead of hearing about Jesus’ teachings, healings or miracles, we talk about one of the mist difficult Biblical concepts to explain let alone understand-the Trinity. In fact, one running joke among ...read more

    Slave Series

     | 7,792 views

    In this overlooked parable Jesus describes the life of discipleship in terms of service. Rather than focusing on our rights and needs, and deciding what we'd like to do, we need to focus on how we can serve our Master.

    This has been called “the most troubling parable” in the Bible. Why does Jesus say we are like unworthy servants? I know I must have read this before, but somehow I glossed over it. I've got a lot of books on the parables of Jesus and most omit this one. A year ago an article in ...read more

    Small But Smart

     | 3,588 views

    Gideon chose to attack the Midian army with trumpets, torch and pitcher. No swords. God’s plan might look weird but watch the end!

    Small but Smart! Judges 7:1:He divided the 300 men into three companies, and he put trumpets and empty pitchers into the hands of all of them, with torches inside the pitchers.” While I was talking to the wife of a senior pastor of a huge church with more than 50 pastors working under them, I ...read more

    Reluctant Recruits

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 1, 2018
     | 8,922 views

    Jesus did not present a rosy, unrealistic picture of the Christian life. In Luke 9 we encounter 3 potential recruits. Jesus appraises their resolve, exposes their excuses, and urges them to consider the cost of discipleship

    It’s Career Day at the high school and a small crowd is gathered at the Army’s booth. A Recruiter tells the students about field duty in the winter, eating MRE’s, family separations, grueling physical exercise, frequent moves, and the likelihood of war…and pretty soon he’s standing alone.

    Many believers today are paralyzed by guilt, shame, doubt and fear. God's desire is to set them free and transform their lives into something beautiful, holy, and fruitful.

    THE NEW LIFE IN CHRIST New Things. We all like to get new things. A new car, a new hunting rifle, a new TV, a new phone– all of these are really good. Even better– a new grandson.
