Christmas - Part 2

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 9, 2020

We have learned that Paul is showing through the practice of his day regarding a child who is heir to the family’s fortune that Jews and Gentiles were in their “spiritual childhood” before Christ...

(Gal 4:1 NKJV) Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, (Gal 4:2 NKJV) but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. (Gal 4:3 NKJV) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under ...read more

What If Jesus Had Not Come

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 12, 2020

Elijah's Breakthrough Pt 3 Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Oct 23, 2020

I Am Called 'elohim' Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 9, 2020

The minute you open up the Bible it’s as if God has taken your face in His hands, is looking you in the eyes, and saying: “Read my lips … I am God … I am Elohim … I am the eternal Creator and Sustainer of Life who made you so that I can love you and you can love me.”

Names … We all have them … be dumb if we didn’t, amen? You can’t go around saying “Hey you over there” all day. Names make sense … but how often do you think about your name … or names? And I do mean “names” plural … because we all have more than one name. For example, I have three names ...read more

Investing For The Long Term

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 25, 2018

Unlike the crowds on Palm Sunday, who hailed Jesus as king but only days later demanded that he be crucified, we need to hold on to our faith and hope in Christ. Here's why and how.

The two men who founded Apple Computer. Right? Well, no, actually that’s not accurate. Here is a photo of the original partnership ...read more

A Holiday For Fools

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 31, 2018

Who is a fool? The one who worships a living Saviour? Or the one who says he needs no god? The message is a presentation of the reasonable position of worshipping Christ who conquered death.

“Fools say to themselves, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt and commit evil deeds; not one of them practices what is good. “The LORD looks down from the heavens upon humanity to see if anyone shows discernment as he searches for God. All have turned away, together they have become corrupt; ...read more

A Mother's Love

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 31, 2020

It takes a special kind of woman to be what the Bible defines as a mother.

There is a common myth among women that says “having children makes one a mother.” This notion is as silly as believing that having a piano makes one a musician. That’s because it takes a special kind of woman to be what the Bible defines as a mother. The biblical word translated “mother” is the ...read more
