    2nd in a series on James for summer 2009

    During my undergrad years at Cal State Hayward I read about an experiment to determine if rats would seek out new places of safety when faced with danger. It involved random low-level shocks to the cage and a random "shock free" zone. After a while, instead of seeking a place that was free from the ...read more

    You Are The Salt Of The Earth Series

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jun 23, 2014
     | 4,964 views

    Be careful, O Christian, of what you are eating and what you are offering to others to eat.

    You Are the Salt of the Earth Matthew 5:13 Introduction Last week, we saw that the Beatitudes of Jesus were not the “be happy attitudes” of Robert Schuller. What Jesus says here is far more profound that the shallow interpretation that Schuller offers. Schuler gives advice which might provide ...read more

    Introduction: In recent news this week, California announced that its snow pack has already melted. That means no fresh water from snowfall.

    More Than A Slogan

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Feb 19, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,458 views

    We all know Micah 6:8, but there's a lot more to the message than just a T-shirt slogan.

    In the marathon subculture, T-shirts are everything. As a runner, you become a billboard for 26 miles, or 13, or 6, or in my case 3 miles. When I participated in my first 5K, I had to wear the shirt provided by my gym (since they paid the registration fee), but most of the time, each runner ...read more

    This Is Not Fake News

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on May 2, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,760 views

    Fake news needs to be confonted with the "true truth" of God's Word. Central to this is the bodily resurrection of the dead.

    This is Not Fake News! 1 Corinthians 15:1-19 The world today is suffering from an epidemic of “fake news” today. Fake news is the product of post-modern thinking in which each individuals interpretation is equally valid. Therefore, “fake news” can be found all over social media. There was fake new ...read more

    What does it really mean to be persecuted for following Jesus today?

    Two and a half years ago, Florida charity worker Arnold Abbott made world headlines when he was arrested. His crime? Feeding the homeless. Arnold, who was ninety at the time, had been helping prepare hundreds of meals every week since 1990. In 1991, he founded the Maureen A. Abbott Love Thy ...read more

    Reality And Symbols Of Reality Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 13, 2014
     | 3,495 views

    The salvation we have in Jesus is pictured for us in symbols, is based on forgiveness made possible through his atoning death, and ultimately results in an altered universe.

    Reality and Symbols of Reality (Colossians 2:11-15) 1. All of us know what it is like to search for something that is broken or wrong. 2. Perhaps your car won’t start: it is not the battery or alternator. What is it? 3. Somewhere you have a hole puncher; it is not with the stapler, ruler, ...read more

     | 14,992 views

    If you walked through the Inspection Gate, you would step right out into the court of the temple and be very close to the location of the threshing floor of Ornan that David purchased to stay the judgment against Israel when a sacrifice was offered.

    Laugh and Play: Doing Life: Relationship Skills from the Bible for Today June 6, 2010 Intro: Do you think Jesus was ticklish?

    Elijah & Obadiah Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 6, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,518 views

    Obadiah was a good man in a bad place, risking all to protect God's prophets...his concerns resonate with anyone with a stressful job, and show us the path to encouragement and reassurance.

    It would be easy to skip over this passage as merely a transition, leading to the exciting confrontation that follows on Mount Carmel. Yet this brief episode in the life of Elijah is for anyone who feels discouraged and defeated. Following three years of drought, three years of decisively ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,718 views

    This message illustrates how we could be good people and follow the law, but not have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

    INTRODUCTION The encounter of this young man is recorded in three of the gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It reminds me of a game show I used to watch when I was a kid. ILLUST: It was called, “Let’s Make a Deal”. The Young Man and His Desire for Eternal Life There are some ...read more

     | 7,651 views

    We as Christians have the truth found in the person of Jesus Christ. What is the problem in communicating that truth? Many people in our culture and world today don't even know the question to ask so that we can give the answer in Jesus.

    Intro: As the new year approaches we need more than ever to know who we are and what we are supposed to be about. We know in the great commandment we are told to Love God with every fiber of our being, and love each other with every fiber of our being. We also know in the Great Commission we are ...read more
