Restoration

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 23, 2023

We have all slipped up and made mistakes. Remorse is a deep feeling of guilt and sorrow. People run away because of shame. It is God's heart not to condemn. Run back to Him. God loves you and will restore you.

Some time ago I made a large mistake and it almost cost me everything I had. When I spoke to my youngest son he said, “Dad just promise me, that you will get back on the horse and ride again.” My son was only telling me what I have told so many, life is all about falling down, getting up, dusting ...read more

How To Endure To The End Series

Contributed by James Wallace on May 4, 2021

Jesus assured us in the Parable of the Sower that people falling away from the faith would be a regular part of our experience. However, we certainly don't want it to be our personal experience! An oft-ignored & challenging warning tells us how we can prevent that possibility.

As we have made our way through the book of Hebrews, the single New Testament book devoted to the topic of Christians who are tempted or actually do fall away from the faith, I naturally have been led to sadly contemplate those Christians I have known who have fallen away. These, tragically, were ...read more

Go In Peace? Naaman Healed

Contributed by B. D. B Moses on Jun 25, 2003

Naaman has just told Elisha that he will be going back to his Pagan land and will visit a temple of the god Rimmon. He will bow down right smack in the midst of active idol worship in the temple. Wow! Elisha said, "go in peace" to that?

Read: 2 Kings 5:19 “Go in peace,” Elisha said. Here we find one of the greatest miracles of the Bible. Naaman is healed of Leprosy. It is a feel good story that makes us all warm and fuzzy inside. We can read it, feel blessed, and move right along to the next story when Elisha causes an axe ...read more

Motives: The Problem In The Church Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 24, 2003

Getting Serious With God

Contributed by Rick Kallstrom on Jan 28, 2003

America is in the midst of a spiritual famine today, and, unless our country turns back to God soon, and experiences a great spiritual revival in our nation, it is just a matter of time before God pours out His anger and wrath on our nation.

The year before last, in an effort to earn some extra Christmas money, I worked a temporary job at the airport in Knoxville, Tennessee over the Christmas holidays.

Transforming Your Mind Series

Contributed by Warren Curry on Sep 22, 2004

If we allow ourselves to be directed by our feelings and emotions then we will go back & forth. Paul simply says that we must make a choice. We must decide, not feel, whether or not we will choose God’s way or the world’s way.

Transforming Your Mind Romans 12:1-2 Last time we met together, we found that God wants to make us into a NEW CREATION. He desires to TRANSFORM us into His image.

This Generation

Contributed by Rich Hadley on Jun 27, 2002

In some ways, what was a parable for them, becomes for us an historical lesson. We look back to see that wisdom was indeed exonerated by a growing kingdom that could not have been through force or the means of men. And we see that when we pout and stam

THIS GENERATION Luke 7: 31-35 To what then can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?

Overcome Intimidation

Contributed by Karen Buck on May 24, 2006
