A Christian Example: Paul

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2024

Paul was one of the greatest Christian examples in scripture. He was a man who responded to God's calling in his life and has encouraged us to follow in his footsteps.

I realize I am not the Holy Spirit, nor am I God, nor can I respond for you, but I must teach and preach in such a manner that God can cause you to respond. Tonight, I want to approach this Bible study in a different manner. I want us to use an example of a man who did respond to God's calling ...read more

Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Feb 18, 2021

“Mercy triumphs over judgment” is one of the most important declarations in all of scripture-- both for our own salvation, and in how we reflect God’s love for a fallen world.

The God We Worship Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 28, 2022

The Christian view of God comes from the biblical revelation. We must therefore examine Scriptures carefully. Human language is all we have, and it is inadequate to fully comprehend God.

The God We Worship Exodus 34:6-7 Deuteronomy 6:4-5 Deuteronomy 6:12-15 What advise did the old preacher give to the young preacher when the young man asked him about what to preach? His answer, preach about God and preach about twenty minutes. Children ask the darndest questions. Many of their ...read more

Why Should We Participate In Fasting?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 28, 2022

In this passage of Scripture, God was asking the people why they had fasted. They were urged to be merciful and just people. Do our actions resemble the actions of the Jews from our reading?

In verses 1-7: For the past 70 years, individuals had been holding a fast in August to recollect the annihilation of Jerusalem. Since Jerusalem was being rebuilt, they went to the Temple to inquire as to whether they needed to proceed with this yearly fast. God did not address their inquiry ...read more

Help Me God, I'm Sad Series

The Sound Of Cherub Wings Series

Unknowingly Shipwrecking Your Faith Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 16, 2017

This is the sixth message in the series on Faith. Many Christians allow ministers to speak into their lives without "fact checking" what they say against Scripture. This can cause them to shipwreck their faith.

This is the sixth message in this series on Faith. The underlying theme of the series has been our responsibility for faith either manifesting or not manifesting in our lives. For a person to say “I have faith” and not produce “faith results” means that person is not walking in faith the way he ...read more

The Trinity

Contributed by Timothy Mills on Jul 14, 2017

The Bible does not spell out “Trinity.” The idea of the Trinity is so ingrained in Christianity that it is nowhere described, but assumed in Scripture. Our text, for example, presents the Trinity as a fact, without explanation.

In our text Matthew 28:19, the 3 persons are presented, not argued. Mark 1:9-11 does the same thing. This is a core doctrine which no one can deny and still be called “Christian.” It’s not something that must be understood to be saved; rather, it is something that cannot be denied in full ...read more

Is Onam A Christian Celebration Or Its Biblical? Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Oct 14, 2020

Many Christians believe that participating in onam is a form of involvement in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness, which is forbidden in Scripture: many believers consider Onam activities of most to be harmless fun.
