Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jul 30, 2009

It begins with God, who created. Humanity, who rebelled. Jesus, who came. And us, who respond with repentance. And then we live lives of hope – hope that “our present troubles are small and won’t last very long.

The Day Will Come Zech 12-13 Nov 9, 2008 Intro: "Hope" is the thing with feathers— That perches in the soul— And sings the tune without the words— And never stops—at all— And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard— And sore must be the storm— That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm— I’ve ...read more

His Name Is On My Heart

Contributed by Dennis Fox on Mar 16, 2024

Sports stars wear corporate logos and represent them. We also put our name on things that belong to us. If Jesus is on our heart, the we become his representative and we become his children.

The Feeding God's Sheep

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 14, 2021

We often hear Christians say that they believe the Lord Jesus is coming soon to gather His church. When some Christians say that, it makes you wonder why they say that. I say this because their life-styles do not reflect that they believe He is going to come very soon.

Many live their lives as we did as children. Illus: If our parents had to go somewhere, before they left they gave us chores to do while they were gone. But once they were gone, we did pretty much what we wanted to do. But then someone would say, “Here comes Dad and Mom!” All of a sudden we ...read more

Grace From Galatians (19 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

This passage of scripture concludes Paul’s letter to the Galatians.

In this letter we have been able to see: 1. Paul wrote to the Galatians out of a heart of love. 2. Paul wrote to the Galatians out of a heart of disappointment because they had so soon turned from the doctrine of grace to a false doctrine. 3.

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (3 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In Acts 9, we read of the exciting conversion of the Apostle Paul as he traveled to Damascus to persecute the New Testament Christians.

After the Lord miraculous converted Paul, the Lord told him to go into the city and he would be told what he was to do. The apostle Peter's conversion was unusual as well. The Lord first met him by the sea of Galilee. Look Matthew 4:18, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two ...read more
