Walking In Purity, Pt. 2

Contributed by Jerry Shirley on Jul 10, 2013

The old nature is not eradicated...rather, a new power/new man comes to live inside as well, and the old man fights with him.

Stop Doubting Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Apr 26, 2022

John would like to convey to the readers of this gospel and to the future generations of the Church to learn to live without the physical appearance of Christ, the actual seeing, touching, and hearing of him through the written scriptures. Jesus taught them to walk by faith, not by sight.

Theme: Stop Doubting Text: John 20:24-31 Greetings: “The Lord is good and His love endures.” An Old age pensioner received a letter from the department: Dear Ma’am, “Your pension will be stopped, effective immediately because we received notice that you passed away.

Parables Of Jesus

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 8, 2022

Why did Jesus preach in parables? It’s because people really don’t want the truth. Let's look at Jesus' parables in Matthew.

Why did Jesus preach in parables? It’s because people really don’t want the truth. “All of them have stubborn minds! They refuse to listen; they cover their eyes. They cannot see or hear or understand. If they could, they would turn to me, and I would heal them.” (Matthew 13:15 CEV) Shepherds We ...read more

The Golden Calf Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 16, 2022

How did Israel get so misguided? How could it happen? God just rescued them from slavery. The very first thing the people do is make an image and worship the image. The worship of the golden calf is tragic. Could anything be more tragic?

Why worship an object when the living God offers a relationship? There is no good reason. It was so misguided for the Israelites to form the golden calf image and worship it. So tragic for this to happen. What we hope to gain from this passage is that we will seek the true God Almighty with all our ...read more

The Day The Sun Stood Still Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 1, 2022

Joshua had the faith to ask God that the sun would stand still. Joshua is asking God to do the impossible. It is a challenge for us to believe God for something so big that it will not happen without a miracle.

Have you acted impulsively in a way that led you to make a huge blunder? Have you had some ups and downs recently? Do you need a miracle to get out of an impossible situation? For Joshua all of the above was true. That is part of why Joshua asked God that the sun would stand still. Joshua believed ...read more
