Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules” Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 9, 2017

This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.

Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more

The Calling Of The Twelve Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 10, 2017

Jesus called twelve men to serve as disciples. These men came from different backgrounds, varied occupations, and unique personalities. Jesus used ordinary men in extraordinary ways. That should challenge and encourage every believer.

The Calling of the Twelve Mark 3: 13-21 Surely you would agree that our study thus far has revealed a very busy, and often difficult time for Jesus.

Let There Be Series

Contributed by Mathew Philip on Sep 7, 2020

God is the creator of not only laws of nature, but also social, moral and spiritual laws. Just like He did at the outset of creation, God uses the moral and spiritual laws to take the formless voids of our lives and gives them shape and brigtness by His light.

Many critics argue that the Bible story of creation is "geo" centric (centered around the earth). This is because of the wrong understanding of the creation story that God created the earth and built the sun, moon and stars around it. It gives an impression that everything revolved around ...read more

Believing “out Of Yourself” And Into Christ Series

Seeing is not always believing. The Jews who witnessed Jesus' miracle of feeding the 5,000 did not understand the truth about Jesus-that He was the manna from heaven in the flesh.
