Answering Why

Contributed by Martin Wiles on Jan 27, 2013

In tragic times, we are tempted to ask why. The question itself is not wrong-after all Jesus asked it of his Father while on the cross, but it may not be the most appropriate question or lead to the best end.

Introduction: A. When tragedy strikes, we either grow bitter toward God or draw closer to him. B. Can God prevent tragedy? Yes. Why doesn’t he always? We can’t answer that. C. God is imminent and transcendent, but he’s not always imminent when we want him to be. D. As the writer ...read more

Compromise Is Not The Answer Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 30, 2021

In the very beginning of his stay in the king's Palace, Daniel took a stand that could have led to his execution or at the very least, enslavement or imprisonment.

Last time we talked about how Daniel and his three friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego remained faithful to the Lord despite how they were strongly tempted to compromise. He was determined to stay faithful to the Lord no matter how much pressure was put upon him. So, in the very beginning of ...read more

The Answer Is No!

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 17, 2018

Jesus is too much a threat to Rome, to the Jewish religious authorities, and to the crowds. They all reject his words of life and his invitation to walk in God’s kingdom.

INTRODUCTION In the movie, “The Lion King” there is the classic plot of good versus evil. There is also a sub-plot of Simba learning what it is to be king. He has to answer the question, “Why will he be king?” Is it to have people do his will? Or, is being a king to serve people. A similar ...read more

Answer The Question Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Sep 27, 2023

Too many of us believe we have arrived and are mature spiritually. We must find out “Where Are You?”

"If The Church Would Just Pray"

Contributed by Bishop William Bryant Wilmore, Jr. on Aug 16, 2003

When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

In the text, we find something taking place that seems to be missing in many churches today – that is church folk praying for church folk. In this particular case, a church member in trouble. The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more
