You Gotta Have A Crazy Story

Contributed by Johnny Knight on Aug 11, 2007

Paul Simon, wrote a song a number of years ago. The refrain in the song went, “still crazy after all these years, yes I’m still crazy after all these years.” Let it be said at my funeral, “There lies a nut who was still crazy after all these years.” And m

Little Seed - Big Tree Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 19, 2007

Why did the farmer in this parable plant the mustard seed? Jesus doesn’t stress the harvest from this tree... only the fact that birds come and settle in its branches. Why?

OPEN: There’s a story about a student from MIT who spent an entire summer going to the Harvard football field every day wearing a black and white striped shirt walking up and down the field for ten or fifteen minutes throwing birdseed and blowing a whistle.

Christ Can Give You A New Future.

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Sep 27, 2018

There are two paths, one leads to life, and the other to destruction. There are two kingdoms, one of light and the other of darkness. Every human being has a choice to make, it’s either Jesus or Satan.

Rejecting Jesus is choosing Satan, choosing to follow no one is still choosing Satan, choosing something else outside of Jesus Christ is still choosing Satan. God’s way is one, and that way is Christ Jesus. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the ...read more

Contributed by Bala Samson on Sep 24, 2015

Best. Job. Ever. Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Mar 7, 2022

After taking most of Romans 2 to explain that there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile, Paul throws a curve in Romans 3:1. Turns out, there is an advantage to being a Jew after all.

This year she is taking leadership in the State of Alabama as one of the emerging leaders identified by the Alabama WMU, and this past weekend ...read more

One Breath, One Flesh

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2010

Pentecost 1986: We crave intimacy, and cannot live without it. It is not found in ceaseless work and striving, but in simply receiving grace.

The peculiar thing about our times is that while we seem to be so free and easy, so relaxed about what used to be thought of as intimate, yet at the same time we are hung up, truly hung up, about intimacy. I say the strange thing about us in this last half of the 20th century is that on the one ...read more
