Taking Up The Isaiah Paradigm Series

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Nov 27, 2007

In the vision Isaiah received of the Lord upon his throne there is a model of how we can approach God and what the results could be.

TAKING UP THE ISAIAH PARADIGM Towering like a majestic peak above the other great moments in Isaiah is this passage in Isaiah 6:1-13.

Be Supportive Of Other Churches Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

If we serve the Lord with the impure motive of personal gain, instead of with the intention of leading people to faith in Christ, then we can become self-focused, critical and judgmental of other believers and other churches.

The apostle Paul once admonished the Philippians, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4). In ...read more

“I Wanna Be Guilty!” : Acts 8:1-6, 4:19-20. 5:27-29 David P. Nolte It’s a human tendency to defend our innocence when we are accused even if we are guilty. We may even attempt defending the actions we cannot deny. We may rationalize, minimize, justify or even lie about ...read more

All Is Well, At Least For The Moment

Contributed by Craig Benner on Jan 16, 2014

If it is not broken, don't look for a way to fix it. Seeking and serving God is always the right thing. There is no need to look elsewhere. If you are determined to do so, you will be sorry in the end.

For the Moment, All is Well 2 Chr. 14:1,2 1 ¶ So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years. (KJV) 2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God: ...read more

Character Study Of Delilah Series

30 Pieces Of Silver - A Tale Of 2 Shepherds Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000

The failure of the leaders God has placed over his people will result in the nation suffering as well as the leaders being judged.

If you were here last week you may remember that ch 10 of Zechariah talks about God the Shepherd, who promises to care for his flock. The reason he has to do that himself is because the leaders of Israel have failed. Well, Zechariah continues that theme in ch11 as he talks about this failure of ...read more

Gifted To Grow

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 6, 2014

Land Of The Giants Series

Contributed by Tim George on Oct 14, 2001

The truth is that we do live in a land of giants. There are things that are bigger than us which seem to stand between us and being where God wants us to be. In the Old Testament, God sent His people, Israel, to a place called The Promised Land. It was a
