The Power Of The Tongue Series

Contributed by Tim George on Jul 13, 2001

James reminds us that our words can be the most powerful force known to man. Words can set the course of individuals and nations. Consider what God has to say to us about the way we speak.

“For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, ...read more

It’s Midnight

Contributed by Nelson Emeonu on Jul 3, 2014

Life is a lesson. There is no way to know where we are now unless we record what had happened where we are. One of the problems of man is that he fails to learn lessons from history. In life, there are always things to remember.

When Something Is Nothing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

Man's self-love is both an evil and a good. It is both an essential for a happy life in God's will, and the main cause for most evil that is out of God's will.

Some people, probably most people, and maybe all people have to learn how to be humble the hard way, and that is the humpty dumpty way of having a great fall. This was the case with Max Eastman. A film was being made on the life of Christ, and he happened to meet the well known woman photographer ...read more

Be Kind To The Disabled Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Those who are disabled can challenge believers to be more authentic in their Christian faith and love. This message shows how a blind man was able to challenge the disciples and a crowd of people who were following Jesus.

My family attended two Baptist churches in Danville that were unusually, yet refreshingly, filled with a love for those who are disabled. We saw the deaf, for which a sign language interpreter was provided. We also saw those with some sort of mental handicap, and those with a wide range of physical ...read more

The Light Of The World

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 28, 2012

Man has a great need. He may not always be aware of it, but the need is still there. Man is in darkness. He can’t see into the future or into the next world. He can’t see God, who He is and what He’s like. He can’t see the real meaning, significance,

Let’s start tonight’s study off by admitting that man has a great need. He may not always be aware of it, but the need is still there. Man is in darkness. - He can’t see into the future or into the next world. - He can’t see God, who He is and what He’s like. - He ...read more

Glorying In The Cross

Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 15, 2020

According to Merriam Webster, glory in something means to show joy or pleasure because of (something). What do we glory in? Is it temporary or eternal? When you glory in the cross you can have joy and faith in the very thing that was used to bridge the gap between God and man.

This is the conclusion to Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Not long after the gospel was preached here and people were saved, there came in a group of people who were called Judaizers. They taught that is was not enough for a person to just embrace Jesus Christ, but that they also had to embrace the ...read more

Changing Jesus, And Muhammad's Personal Problems Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 27, 2015

Muhammad does not claim to be a perfect man, and the Koran confirms that for us. Also see Muhammad's attempt to pull Jesus down, and the changes in the Gospel story that he (or his "angel" ) has manufactured.

Lesson 29, Muhammad, Show Us Proof! Today we cover suras 14-17 . Sura 14 is called "Abraham" but only mentions the patriarch at the end, as the author of a prayer that, per the Bible, he never prayed. The chapter opens up with great promise, describing Koran as a book "we have sent down to you ...read more

Mary The Mother Of James And Joses. Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Mar 9, 2021
