The Other Cup Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 28, 2011

Which cup have you chosen to drink from? The love of God, poured out in Jesus Christ, is complete, unlimited and unmixed; the wrath of God is simply what’s left over when his love is refused.

The Other Thief

Contributed by Rodney Johnson Sr., on May 8, 2012

The other thief shifts our focus from the more familiar thief. We know the one that ask Christ for a memorial. But what about the "the other thief" who died insulting the Lord?

The text teaches many lessons. Let’s consider the following thoughts: I. There are Only Two Types of People in the World: believers and unbelievers. II. There is no Salvation in Physical Closeness to Jesus. (The other thief hung next to Christ without accepting Him) He hung next to the "bread of ...read more

Praying For Others Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 13, 2011

COLOSSIANS 1: 9-12 PRAYING FOR OTHERS [Ezekiel 22:30] Every Christian can minister directly to the spiritual well-being of other believers without seeing or speaking to them. We can play a role in their spiritual growth, and even secure God's blessings for them. Intercessory pray accomplishes ...read more

Judging Others

Contributed by Sheila Crowe on Jun 10, 2009

There are appropriate and inappropriate times and ways to judge others. Christ though instructs his disciples to pay more attention to their own faults than to the judging the faults of others.

GUILTY AS SIN the headline read just a few years ago. The banks in New Jersey had been robbed systematically, one after the other. What made the robber stand out was his politeness.
