    Jeremiah’s visit to the potter’s workshop was the means of God’s giving him an acted-parable of what he could do with the marred nation of Israel and mankind in general.

    MARRED AND MADE AGAIN One of the pleasures of being away from home on holiday is to have the opportunity of just standing and staring at interesting sights, such as a craftsman at work - perhaps a potter. The prophet Jeremiah did this once. He tells us what he saw: "The pot he was shaping from ...read more

    I’m speaking especially to fathers, for I’m convinced that not until fathers get their act in order will we see a real change for good in our homes & in our society.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX Ephesians 6:4 is a passage of Scripture that probably ought to be read every Father’s Day. It is a passage addressed directly to fathers. Here is what it says. "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, ...read more

    The Necessity Of Prayer

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 31, 2006

     | 37,508 views

    God acts when man pray. The asking is critical to the task at hand. We are not dealing with a reluctant Father, but a God who is willing to respond. Prayer accomplishes God’s will.

    James 5:17-18, 1 Kings 18:41-46 The Necessity of Prayer James 5:17-18 17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

    The angels gave the Christmas message. Will you deny and doubt, are you uncertain but willing to surrender, are you ready to accept and act, and do you believe and will you broadcast the good news?

    The Angels’ Plea for Peace Luke 2:9-14 Rev. Brian Bill 12/10/06 Yesterday I drove up to Milwaukee to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday with my four sisters. One of my sisters had a pretty cool idea a couple weeks ago. She told all of us to order a black t-shirt with the words, “Mom likes me best” ...read more

    Do we act as if we are ashamed of Jesus? Are we secretly or openly ashamed of the gospel? My prayer is that every local resident will get to know the story of our faith in Jesus!

    Romans 1: 8-17 When I was at school, there were roughly speaking two groups of people as far as I could see. One group was the in-crowd. And the in-crowd contained the ’lads’. It contained the beautiful people. It contained those people who were popular, people you really wanted to spend time ...read more

    Salvation was only the beginning! Now, God wants us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice. This is an act of surrender, commitment, and dedication. Paul tells us HOW to do it.

    “It’s Time For A Change!” Romans 12:1-2 Life is full of CHANGES! HAS your life CHANGED in last YEAR … 5 Yr. … 10 … 20? IF IT HASN’T … then must have been living on a deserted island somewhere! There are 2 BASIC KINDS of “change” … INTERNAL & EXTERNAL. We usually LIKE … EXTERNAL ...read more

    The Bible tells us that God closed up Hannah’s womb. Really? Would He do that, or was this the kind of comment where we call something an "act of God?"

    Real Mothers are special people. Real mothers would like to be able to eat a whole candy bar (all by themselves) and drink a Coke without any "floaters" in it. Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox. Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy ...read more

    A look at the story of Philip in Acts 8. This message is one that focuses on God’s timing and takes a look at how God can bring something good from something bad.

    The Curious Case of a Man Named Philip Acts 8 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – Story of a man who was born old and grew young. That’s not such a new concept.

    based on 54 ratings
     | 70,144 views

    God’s first and last thought is the welfare of his children! The Provision of the Cross is an act of covenant. It is not a half-job effort to fix things. It is a plan that would never turn back!

    At some point or another you may have used this familiar phrase - Blood is thicker than water. The context in which we use it is to describe the meaning that blood-related families are more important than anyone else.

    Does Jesus cleansing the temple have any real significance for us so many years later? I believe this story acts as a spiritual MRI, if we let it.

    Jesus Cleanses the Temple—Part 2 Matthew 21:14-22 Welcome back to the story of Jesus cleansing the temple. Last time, we all walked away with a renewed sense of the call of God on the life of each of us to reserve and preserve a holy time and a holy place to encounter and worship Him. We saw ...read more

     | 8,083 views

    Esther was faced with a decision that required her to pray, review God’s timing, act with courage and live by faith. These are traits we must evidence too when making decisions

    Esther became Queen to King Xerxes in 479BC. This was around 25 years after Ezra took a group of pilgrims back to Israel. In chapter one Queen Vashti refuses to obey the King and is removed from power. In chapter two the King holds a beauty pageant to select the next queen. READ 2:17, 18 As we ...read more

    The Persecuted Church Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Russell on Mar 16, 2011
     | 6,943 views

    (Preached on July 4th): This message focuses on the first church-wide persecution in Acts. Attention is given to the implications the Gospel has for believers as members of both God's kingdom and a country.

    * The difficulty in approaching a July 4th message: - We sometimes "read" America into Scripture when we shouldn't - Bible doesn't reference America as a country of predict the events of July, 1776 * If we're not careful, we end up using today to exalt a nation instead of Christ - We do not worship ...read more
