Contributed by David Western on Nov 10, 2025

“The Issachar Expressway.” Let’s learn from a group of people in Scripture who understood how to navigate uncharted territory—the men of Issachar—and how you and I can become like them.

This Tuesday we took our daughter and grandbaby down the new Coalfield Expressway to Pikeville. It was our first time driving the new road. Now, I don’t make guarantees very often—after all, I’m an attorney—but I almost guaranteed her that she’d see an elk. Dusk was settling, and I was about 90% ...read more

Turn The Motor Back On

Contributed by Brian Undlin on Jun 23, 2014

Unmoved By The Cross?

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 24, 2023

The Roman soldiers who crucified Jesus were witnesses to the greatest event in human history but didn't know it. If we're not careful, the same thing can happen to us and we will never realize the love of Jesus!

Man's Reflection In God's Mirror Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Oct 28, 2013

Romans is about the good news but Paul begins with the bad news, the dark side, the universal problem of human depravity. How can anyone understand the value of the good news unless we first understand the bad news about each one of us?

Israel At Peace Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Nov 30, 2003

This part of 2 Samuel is really about God as the king, giving David the human king what he promised. It shows us David trusting God’s kingship, caring for Mephibosheth, not seeing him as a threat to what God gave him.

By Guerin Tueno, ministry student at St Theos. My parents often remind me that when I was growing up I loved to do jigsaws. To fit the pieces together. To make a picture emerge.

Transfiguration Sunday 2018

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 20, 2018

Many Christians in our churches follow Jesus but still have doubts. Their faith has not become crystal clear for them. There are things about Jesus that are cloudy for them like looking through a dark glass. Maybe you are one of them?

Transfiguration Sunday Seeing is Believing Mark 9:2-9 2Corinthians 4:3-6 1 Corinthians 13:12 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Daughter Of The Most High

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jan 7, 2026

Like the sandalwood tree that imparts its fragrance to the axe that cuts it, a woman can become a blessing to many (even to the one who harms her) through what she has learnt of God in her sorrows!

The beautiful title a woman can have at any time of her life is ‘daughter’. She can rise up to any level with any impressive titles in her whole life. But ‘daughter’ is the title that assures her security, comfort, hope and belonging. When you are confident that you are not only called but are ...read more

What The Women Did Not Find

Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 15, 2017

Focusing On Opportunities Instead Of Circumstantial Problems

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

Why do so many people end up focusing more on their problems than the opportunities created by their circumstances? Perhaps, it has to do with the fact that our human nature tends to have a morbid sense of interest in tragedies. Even though the apostles c
