    Party On! Series

    We all know that there were parties last evening, some that lasted well into the morning hours. But I venture to say that these parties were not celebrations of religious faith, such as the ones implied by today’s Scriptures.

    Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Party On! Today’s Scriptures are so brief that if our minds are not focused, we might not remember any of them. I’ve wondered if that was an act of mercy on the part of those who back in the 1960's put together the three-year cycle of readings, and saw New ...read more

    RETURNING TO YOUR FIRST LOVE In a speech before parliament, the 18th century British statesman, Edmund Burke said, “Very seldom does a man take one giant step from a life of virtue & goodness into a life of vice and corruption. Usually, he begins his journey into evil by taking little steps ...read more

    The Fear Of The Lord Is The Beginning Of Wisdom: Why Do We Fear God?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,814 views

    The scriptures read "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Wisdom is something we desperately need in our world. We need it today especially. We need it as the body of Christ on Earth.

    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. -Psalm 111:10 NIV The scriptures read "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Wisdom is something we desperately need in our world. We ...read more

    The key word of 2nd John is truth. The message of the thirteen verses is simple: Followers of Jesus have three responsibilities to the truth. We must know the truth. We must walk in the truth. We must protect the truth. These still apply today. Let’s

    Mysterious Melchizedek Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,683 views

    One Scottish preacher, Bill Freel said, “If you grasp the significance of Melchizedek you have entered into a spiritual wonderland”. In Genesis 14 Melchizedek is observed historically. In Psalm 110 Melchizedek is spoken of prophetically and in Hebrews 5 & 7 Melchizedek is applied doctrinally.

    Intro Here is a question in recognizing greatness. Who was the greatest man of the Old Testament? The answer might surprise you. It is Melchizedek. Wow and he is only mentioned twice in the Old Testament Genesis 14:18-20 and Psalms 110:4. We get a little more about this mysterious king found in ...read more

    Now the relevance of this passage of Scripture is this: THE LORD STILL REVEALS HIMSELF IN ROUGH TIMES. And certainly, the infant days of this Twenty-First Century are ROUGH TIMES!

And being turned, I saw …” During the ruthless reign and rule of the Roman Emperor Domitian (the last year of his reign in the year A.D. 95) something momentous and marvelous happened: the Risen Christ pulled back the veil of mystery which ...read more

    Seeing God Through The Window Of Motherhood

    Contributed by Michael Pahls on Apr 9, 2001
    based on 185 ratings
     | 11,135 views

    Uses the maternal images of God in Scripture both to explore how the feminine enhances our apprehension of the person and nature of God, and to present a picture of redeemed motherhood.

    Seeing God Through the Window of Motherhood Isaiah 49:14-18 Isaiah 49:14 But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me." 15"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?

    No Room At The Inn

    Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 78 ratings
     | 8,652 views

    The inn was to full for Christ to come in. Throughout Scripture we see that there is no room for God. Is there room in your home, your life and your heart for Him?

    Introductory Considerations 1. It is a scene that is unmistakable. This scene is so identified with the birth of our Lord, that is has been banned from display in public places because it might offend those who do not believe it ever happened. 2. Scene is in a stable. Mary and Joseph and a wooden ...read more

    Antichrist

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 13, 2001
    based on 99 ratings
     | 6,963 views

    Who, according to Scripture, is the antichrist? Instead of being a coming evil dictator, the Bible says the Antichrist was and is anyone who denies the incarnation and humanity of Christ Jesus!

    Many, today, teach that we are to expect the appearance of an individual, the embodiment of evil, who will rule the world and be the ultimate persecutor of the true Christian Faith and those who continue to adhere to it. They identify this person as the coming ’Antichrist’. The trouble with this ...read more
