    A wake-up call to the Church.

    A COMMISSION OF COMPASSION. Matthew 9:35-10:8. The first thing we notice as we look at this introduction to what has been styled ‘The Little Commission’ (as distinct from the better known ‘Great Commission’ of Matthew 28:18-20) is that all true Christian mission is based in the teaching and ...read more

    There Is One Body Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 22, 2024
     | 2,376 views

    The first of the seven ones that equal unity is the fact that there is one body of Christ. This one body is the spiritual one body of Christ composed of all genuine believers in every time and place since the day of Pentecost.

    A. How many of you have seen the movie “That Thing You Do”? 1. It’s one of the movies that our family enjoyed over the years. 2. It’s a movie about a fictional band that ended up being a “one hit wonder” band. 3. The band decided to name themselves the “wonders” but wanted to be unique and so ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 5,150 views

    For Christians, dying to sin and sinful behavior is something that we will wrestle with till we die.

    DYING TO SIN Text: Romans 6:1-11 It is said that Martin Luther once gave an interesting analogy. The analogy goes like this "The old Adam is a mighty good swimmer". The point of the analogy is that the old Adam "… doesn’t drown easily in the baptismal waters". (William H. Willimon. ...read more

    My Sheep

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on May 1, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,407 views

    Men do not want a Messiah unless he is tame; men want what they want. Becoming a sheep with a powerful shepherd is humiliating, because someone else is in control.

    At that time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly." Jesus answered, ...read more

    Satan, our enemy, is a roaring lion seeking to devour us... but his point of attack is the mind. His attack is like the Japanese at Pearl Harbor... stealth.

    The Battlefield 1 Peter 5:8 It was a picture-perfect, postcard morning. Light northeast trade winds played over the peaceful South Pacific harbor as an armada of cumulus clouds sailed proudly overhead. The U.S. sailors stationed there yawned and stretched to greet the lazy Sunday morning. This ...read more

    When Jesus Is The Adversary

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 19, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,275 views

    A look at a challenging passage that indicates that when we refuse Jesus as Savior He will become our Adversary at judgment.

    - These verses seem out of place. Why would Jesus end what He was saying here with talk about going to court? It doesn’t really seem to have much to do with the points He’s just made. - When that happens (and it happens at multiple places in the gospels), the temptation is to either presume that ...read more
