    Exodus 21 - An Eye For An Eye! I Want My Revenge! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 28, 2009
    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,825 views

    God speaks to me of recompense not vengeance, punishment but not cruelty, deterring crime and not accepting bad behaviour. As I love and serve Him I take on His character and I can be just and fair.

    Exodus 21 - An Eye for an Eye Exodus 21 is where Israel is given instructions regarding slaves, violence and restitution. You won’t believe some of the things that are covered here, from buying slaves to an ox falling accidently in a ditch. Rules and regulations. This is where we come across those ...read more

    Growing Pains Series

     | 12,654 views

    The good news and the bad news is that growth brings people and new people bring different ideas. What do we do in times of conflict? Check out these thoughts from the church in Jerusalem.

    Growing pains- they can be a good thing. There’s a saying that goes, “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Growing pains can also be bad- after all, they’re a pain. It hurts. As a child growing to maturity, there are a number of times you go through ...read more

    Titus was miserable in Crete, writing to Paul, the title might have been “How to Make the Best of a Bad Situation.” I have decided to title this message Happy Living in Crete.

     | 7,447 views

    The past hundred years have brought many negatives including the social gospel movement. However, there have been movements to combat these with the truth. This lesson looks at both the good and bad of the past century.

    Over the course of the past 14 weeks, we have examined some of the most important periods in Church History. From the ancient creeds of the early church to the formal confessions of the protestant reformation, we have seen that throughout her existence the Church has always had people within who ...read more

    Tongue Tamers

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 20, 2012
     | 7,904 views

    The tongue is a powerful tool. However, as someone once said, "When it is good there is nothing better but when it is bad there is nothing worse." It's that last part that moves us to understand the importance of taming the tongue.

    TONGUE TAMERS James 3:1-12 INTRODUCTION: In northern New Mexico, at around 5 AM on July 16, 1945, the still dark early morning sky became as bright as the noonday sun. In that one blinding flash, the Atomic Age had begun. The atomic fireball shot upwards at 360 feet per second. The characteristic ...read more

    Parables Of The Unjust Steward, Rich Man And Lazarus Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 25, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 23,240 views

    Some people think that anyone Jesus mentions in a parable is a hero or an example of a noble character. If that’s what you think, then be prepared for a shock, because two of these men are really bad characters.

    Perea Parables of the Unjust Steward, Rich Man and Lazarus Luke 16:1-31 Parable of the Unjust Stewart This parable has been greatly misunderstood, and one of the reasons is because it looks as though our Lord is commending a crook. The steward is a full-blown crook. Some people think that ...read more

    Accountability: Self Evaluation

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Dec 11, 2014
     | 6,349 views

    We need strong accountability in the "free" age in which we walk. If we would apply self evaluation we would not need others to correct us. It is easy to fall into bad habits.

    ACCOUNTABILITY: SELF EVALUATION... By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    The disciplines hid in fear after the crucifixion. How could they continue, even survive when all appeared lost. How can we face the world when we are in that same bad place?

    Joseph Son Of Jacob

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 19, 2022
     | 2,611 views

    Joseph was treated with favoritism and bad relations with his brothers festered. He spent 13 years of suffering. Yet, he was a man of faith. What can we learn from his life?

    Joseph was treated with favoritism and at age 17, informed on his brothers’ misdeeds. Telling his brothers of a dream that they would bow down to him, made matters even worse, and bad relations between them festered. “Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers.

    Expectations – General And Specific – Great And Small Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 4,139 views

    Expectations keep us hoping if they are good, and fearful if they are bad. There are many examples in the bible of expectations but I have selected only a few, then we look at Christian expectations. Even cricket is touched on.

    EXPECTATIONS – GENERAL AND SPECIFIC – GREAT AND SMALL I wonder how many are familiar with the novel “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens. Pip the orphan boy relates his story that is based around what expectations wait for him, surprises, incorrect assumptions, tragedy and a lot more. Well as ...read more

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 10, 2015
     | 14,775 views

    We often hear the account of the dinner given for Jesus at Martha's house as a, "Mary was good and Martha was BAD" sort of idea. But, is that really the essence of what happened? Let's take a look ...

    Today we'll be taking a look at an interesting event which took place in Bethany at the home of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. So, let's get right into it, OK?
