Teach, In Season And Out!

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Jul 22, 2017

Ezekiel was a dynamic and dramatic guy. Even though he was a great prophet/teacher/preacher, his words landed on deaf ears. I’ve been teaching Sunday school for over 30 years and there are times when I wonder if I’m even getting through to anyone.

Happy “Dramatic” Weekend, Everyone! There is so much drama today. Whether it is political or in Hollywood, or in the music world, or even in our own communities. Be it drugs or suicide or violence or anything else today. Goodness, some families have enough drama going on to keep the nosey gossips ...read more

In Season Or Out Of Season!

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Jul 28, 2017

Amos is called one of the “lesser” books of the Bible, not because it’s less important, but because it’s smaller. Amos, like Hosea, Joel, Obadiah, Micah, ...read more

Going All Out Series

Bent Out Of Shape

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 20, 2016

Jesus knew that rules are important, but he knew that the needs of people are more important. You and I need to learn that lesson as well. Whenever we see someone in need, the most important thing is to help them, no matter when or where it may be.

To help you understand the importance of the reading we just heard from Luke’s Gospel, I’m going to do something unusual. I’m going to bend over. As you can see, this is not a very comfortable position for me. I could easily stay bent over like this for a few minutes, but what if ...read more
