    The word 'deceive' in its various forms occurs 87 times in the NIV. Deception is a dangerous thing; both in being deceived as well as being the one doing the deceiving. So let's find out how can we avoid the trappings of falling into either side of it.

    THE DANGERS OF DECEPTION (part one) A man was standing on the street corner looking pitiful in his dark glasses and shabby clothes, holding a tin cup.

    We have no way of knowing just when "the last days" will be. But the Apostle Paul does have something to say about how we should be living as we face our "last days," whenever that may be.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK ILL. A few years ago my wife & I made a trip to Dallas.

    If I had been in charge of announcing to the world about God's Son being born I wouldn't have selected shepherds: unclean, uneducated, unknown. But who best to tell about the Lamb of God being born, than shepherds?

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jan 6, 2025
     | 668 views

    Isaiah gives Judah/Israel a great insight into what irritates God, but he also gives you and I the very same insight: these are the things God detests! Our challenge today will be, "What kind of church do we want to be?"

    Isaiah, Part 1 The Revelation of Isaiah to Israel Isaiah 1:1-31 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons!

     | 4,586 views

    As a Body of believers, each one of us are responsible for building the Kingdom of God. One important aspect in this process is being actively involved in building one another up.

    “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” (Ephesians 4:9) "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up" (1 Thessalonians 5:11) As a Body of ...read more

    After being abused and accused by his fellow Jews, Jeremiah’s counsel was sought and ignored. Modern believers need to take note.

    If I hadn’t had a similar, though less lethal, experience, I probably wouldn’t relate to that scene in “The Godfather” where the old Mafioso tells the young boss how the traitor would try to kill him after his death.

    We can learn from the parable of the wicked vineyard tenants how to stay vigilant with being good stewards of God's Kingdom on earth.

    THERE IS A COST INVOLVED WITH FOLLOWING JESUS. THERE ARE STRICT REQUIREMENTS OF SACRIFICE, INITIATIVE, AND EFFORT AS WE BECOME MORE PASSIONATE WITH HOLINESS AND THE PRIORITIES OF LOVING OUR NEIGHBOR, PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL, AND BEING MORE FOCUSED ON THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND MAKING DISCIPLES.

    This is the second message in a series on Moses that shows being God's man is never easy. This message teaches that there are never any failures, just learning experiences.

    How many of you have ever failed at something? If we are brutally honest we would all admit that we have failed more times than we would like to admit. However, I would like to suggest that there are two classes of people who fail: The ones who give up and the ones who use those failures as ...read more

    Being a priest is an AWESOME PRIVILEGE and AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY. Leviticus 8-10 is the ordination of Aaron and the death of Nabab and Abihu. In the NT, we are all priests!

    Me? A Priest? Selections from Leviticus 8-10 My wife’s grandmother was a woman who always spoke her mind. When my then-fiancee told her grandmother that she was going to marry a minister, the crusty old woman said, “Marry a priest? I wouldn’t do that!
