The Sacrificial Act

Contributed by Lynell Friesen on May 24, 2001

We have life because the grave could not contain it’s prey. Paul told us that Christ conquered even the last enemy - death.

On Good Friday we spoke on Isaiah 53: 4-6 discussing the Universal Depravity of man and the Universal Sufficiency of Christ. Sometimes Christians find that concept hard to grasp. Dr. Barnhouse used this illustration to portray this simple truth to his congregation and I would like to ...read more

When The Walls Come Tumblin' Down

Contributed by Deborah Westbrook on Mar 13, 2009

Jesus anger wasn’t about selling things; it was about the evil vendors preying upon the innocent. When barriers go up relationship is broken.

John 2:13-22 When the Tables Come Tumbling Down I would hazard a guess that when most of us think of Jesus, we picture the soft spoken, peace loving, gentle as a lamb, Savior. Always smiling, always patient, always kind. There is no doubt that Christ had a side of Him ...read more

It's Time For A Spiritual Tune Up - Genesis 15 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jul 24, 2021

We have a time in Abraham’s life where he really needs to kind of get it back together.

Well over the last several weeks we’ve been looking at the life of Abraham. We followed Him as he left Ur and he went up to Haran and then came back down to Palestine. We tagged along with him as he went into Egypt where he lied and not so many good things there happened. But then he came back to ...read more

Experience The Power Of Freedom Today!

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 4, 2023

Watch the birds flying across the limitless sky. Glance at the fish swimming in the ocean without boundaries... Isn't freedom all about this? Only a caged bird can value the true sense of freedom. Pondering on that, I realized that mankind in its entirety is bound in some way or the other.

Waiting On God's Sovereignity

Contributed by Matthew Morine on Jan 25, 2005

Life can make us very insecure, but if we trust the Lord we can rely on His eternal plan for us. God’s sovereignity is our comfort during stressful times.

WAITING ON GOD’S SOVEREIGNITY Andrea was a nice girl with a huge secret. One day we were talking and she expressed a desire to share with me what ate at her heart for years.

The Flying Scroll Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 8, 2010

God has promised restoration to the repentant remnant but before that period of blessing can dawn, God must deal with stubborn & unrepentant sinners. If the way of Grace is not accepted, judgment must come.

ZECHARIAH 5: 1-4 THE FLYING SCROLL (The Sixth Vision) [Micah 4:1-8] The first five visions are certainly prophecies of hope and of glory. They abound in most glorious promises of restoration and enlargement of temporal and spiritual prosperity and blessing. These promises in the full and ...read more

Our Part In Salvation

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 17, 2019

What is our part in being saved? Early in the Bible we discover we are saved by faith alone, through God's grace and not our own works. As Christians we live every day thankful for God's grace.

Service Or Serve-Us? Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Nov 10, 2011

Even within the churc we fall prey to the temptation to look after ourselves. Too often it is about what we get over what we give.

1. Mark Twain once said that the only one who likes change is a baby with a wet diaper. That may be true, but change is inevitable. 2.

Why The Wilderness

Contributed by John A. Peck on Nov 3, 2009

Often the wilderness is a dangerous place, frought with danger, anxiety, vulnerability. Out there, we are usually the prey or the victim, but it is also the place where we encounter God.

Why are we meeting God in the wilderness (where else?) We are, generally speaking, city dwellers. We live in cities, towns and villages, but for the most part we stay out of the wilderness unless there is something there for us. But in the Bible, a lot of important things happen in the ...read more

In times like these, pungent praying as taught by Jesus empowers Christians to deal with people and circumstances that prey upon emotional insecurities and purposely test spiritual maturity.

Seize The Opportunity To Serve

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 5, 2005

There are three ways to look at people: (1) as prey - whom we can make a profit from; (2) as trouble to avoid, or (3) as an opportunity for us to serve. The Lord says we are to minister to others, especially those in need.

Luke 10:30-37 Seize the Opportunity to Serve 1929 words This parable tells us we can treat people in at least 3 different ways. (1) Like the robbers, sees a person as a prey. They are out to gain something from him. (2) Like the priest and the Levite, see the person as a trouble to avoid. ...read more

Destiny Vultures

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Apr 21, 2010

There are many people here on earth. Some are floating around. Some don’t know what they are doing, and many are students in the school of witchcraft manipulation. Many people have been diverted by the powers of darkness. Some have diverted themselves. So

Your life is like a book and you write a chapter each day. What you write would eventually be read on the Day of Judgment. The question is, what are you writing about your life? The Bible says, “If the trumpet shall give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare for battle?” The question ...read more
