    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Apr 17, 2003
    based on 40 ratings
     | 5,423 views

    Human sensibility and common sense will only take a person so far. The best logic will not help a person get into heaven. Abraham is an outstanding example of man whose faith defied all human reasoning through many crises.

    Why Abraham’s Faith Was Superior to Human Reasoning (Rom. 4:10-12) Illustration:The more we know of God, the more unreservedly we will trust him; the greater our progress in theology, the simpler and more childlike will be our faith. J. G. Machen. 1. Why do you suppose that Abraham’s faith ...read more

    Contributed by Luke Vasicek on Aug 24, 2025
     | 41 views

    Gender appears to be complicated, but really it is pretty simple. Jesus and God’s word affirm there are two genders: Male and Female. There are, however, males or females who do have physical anomalies. In certain, very rare instances, it can make it difficult to know which is which.

    Gender: Creation over Chaos Genesis 1:27 In California, pronoun preference discrimination is illegal.

    God’s help for anger

    Last week we began our series “Victory in Jesus,” to help us realize that through Jesus Christ we have been given victory over sin and the power of evil.

    Jesus expects us to be witnesses throughout the world until His return. We are not to stand around wasting time. We are to be the disciples that we were called to be.

    Introduction: Listening to our friends or relatives, at times it is hard to believe some of the stuff that they say. Some of the things that they say are so far fetched, that we say to ourselves “Where in the world did they come up this idea?,” or Who did they hear this ridiculous thing from?” ...read more

     | 342 views

    This message looks at the three temptations Jesus faced, why they truly were temptations, and how he overcame them, giving us a path to follow.

    If we close our lives to the work of Angels we miss a big part of what God wants to do with us! So what are some of the Biblical basis for Angels and what are some of the things we know about them because of the Scripture?

    Divisions Over Spiritual Gifts

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Sep 11, 2024
     | 391 views

    Many divisions have occurred in Christian assemblies for centuries. Understanding or misunderstanding Spiritual Gifts given by grace to mankind from God has been the cause for divisions. Are these gifts still present today? Are they utilized properly?

    Most of the time, assemblies of persons desiring to worship Almighty God will be filled with those who had been introduced to God by attending an assembly with their parents and grand-parents. However, some may be in attendance who never knew much concerning God and spiritual things. Now they are ...read more
