It's All In The Seeing Series

Contributed by Rick Stacy on May 10, 2004

4th in series of 5. Two different views of this woman (John 8:1-11) The crowd saw her as damaged and worthless. Jesus saw her as damaged and valuable.

“Honor your father and mother” is one of the Ten Commandments. It seems a bit strange to me when you look at it set along side the other commandments. Why is this so important? Why, because parents have been given such a high and worthy charge – a living soul has been placed into their care. ...read more

Home Truths For Christians

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 4, 2000

James diagnoses some problems in the churches to which he writes and offers some home truths concerning the Christians' having the Wrong Spirit, the Wrong Friendship and the Wrong Attitude.

HOME TRUTHS FOR CHRISTIANS The letter written by James is very direct and personal in its message - he doesn't pull his punches. Martin Luther wasn't very keen on this book - he called it "an epistle of straw" because it didn't say much about Jesus or the Cross. But that's an incorrect reading of ...read more

Contributed by Jim Drake on Jul 13, 2009

Many people today are asking the question, “What is the definition of marriage?” At the same time they might wonder who sets the definition. Don’t you think that the One who designed marriage in the first place is the One who gets to set the definition?

God’s Blood Covenant With Us!

Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Feb 13, 2013

The new covenant in Christ is the ultimate everlasting covenant God made with all mankind and is ratified by the blood of Jesus Christ through His death on Calvary.

The Bible is in two major divisions called testaments or covenants.

Fire At The Church

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jun 12, 2011

The day of Pentecost signified the birth of the Church.

Seventh Commandment (8 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

I would like to remind you again of the importance of considering why God gave these ten commandments to Israel.

Why? God gave them to Israel before they entered the promised land as they were forming a new nation. He knew that the people needed laws to govern the people by.

What Is Happiness? Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Both Jesus and Paul make it clear that it is more than a right to be happy, it is a duty. It is part of our commitment to Christ to overcome all that would make us unhappy.

Epictetus, the ancient philosopher said, "If a man is unhappy, this must be his own fault, for God made all men to be happy." A Christian writer, St. Bernard, said something similar. "Nothing can work me damage except myself; the harm that I sustain I carry about with me, and never ...read more

Does God Like Me? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 2, 2014

Even after you come to know Jesus we often feel that though God may love us because of Jesus, He doesn’t like us very well. Learn the truth about how God feels about you and the destiny He has for you.
