For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have ...read more

    How can we be a Good Samaritan in today’s society?

    This past week I was in Toronto at the Fringe Festival, which is a gathering of about 140 productions all put together over a 10 day period.

    Deceptive Looks

     | 5,885 views

    Jesus enters Jerusalem as the Messiah—King of the Jews. Kings hate other kings coming onto their turf. The king is crucified—a messenger of love and a victim of hate. In the process, what looks good turns out bad and what appears to be bad becomes good.

    INTRODUCTION There is a Chinese story of a farmer who used an old horse to till his fields. One day, the horse escaped into the hills and when the farmer's neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?"

LOL.” The son responds: “Why is that funny?” Mom texts back: “It’s not funny, David! What do you mean?” Her son is confused – he writes: “Mom, LOL means Laughing ...read more

    John’s vision of the throne in chapters 4 and 5 is the model for our worship of God.

    Most of us have probably heard it said that “those who are heavenly minded are of no earthly good.” But chapter 4 of Revelation shows us that just the opposite is true. Since we heard the entire passage read out loud just a moment ago, I’m not going to read the entire chapter ...read more

    Can I Get A Witness

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Nov 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,240 views

    In our text, we find an impossible situation started with a sleepless night. We have all probably had those kinds of nights. Something keeps us up, we are restless, or our minds cannot rest. Like Nebuchadnezzar, we may have a really bad dream or nightmare.

    TITLE: CAN I GET A WITNESS SCRIPTURE: DANIEL 2:9-24 I love when a writer of the Bible just stops what he is writing and beings to praise God. But it is even more impressive to me when someone who is not connected to Jehovah sees the work of Jehovah and has to praise Him, even if that person ...read more

    God has given us Good News though the birth, life, death and resurrection of His Son. In this lesson we look at how Jesus has given His life and ask ourselves how can we give our life back to Him.
