Here are some examples. • The Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s inspiring oratory is believed to have helped save Britain in WWII. • On November 2, 1863, several ...read more

    Man would never write a book about how sinful and wretched he is. The Bible will always point us to our need for a Savior, and Paul reminds the church in Galatia of this critical fact that many of them have seemed to have forgotten!

    There is no other Gospel Galatians, Part 1 Galatians 1:1-10 - Background: The churches in Galatia were formed partly of converted Jews and partly of Gentile converts. Paul asserts his apostolic character and the doctrines he taught, that he might confirm the Galatian churches in the faith of ...read more

    The Star and Stars of Christmas is a series of messages for Advent. Using the idea of a play on a stage. Each message will look at different characters in the Christmas story. The introduction takes a critical look at how many in our society are portrayed as celebrities—bigger than life.

    Often people are attracted to performances based upon the popularity of the performers, or the authors. (My wife’s father enjoyed David Baldacci, James Patterson, Danielle Steele, etc.). A good writer wants to remove his/her personality and have us to focus on the story. The Gospel according to ...read more

    It is amazing how understanding a person and a historical event gives a different way of looking at history. I enjoy reality fiction, especially in movies. For example, “The Man Who Invented Christmas” appears to be a fantasy movie. It is reality fiction. The story tells how Charles Dickens ...read more

    The ministry of the Holy Spirit allows us to hear from God; to discern His voice. Therefore, prayer, meditation, and knowing the voice of Him is critical! Do we know His truth over the noise of everything else competing for our attention?

    Testing the Spirits 1 John Bible Study, Part 9 1 John 4:1-6 Introduction - John gives us an incredible truth to hold onto (20) -- We will fail, even though we desire to be holy and to live right for God -- However, even in that, God knows our heart and knows everything we are -- Even in ...read more

    All of us will face in life critical decisions must be made, times when different roads intersect. We need to figure out which way to go and what to do making the right decision when you're at a crossroads.

    The Crossroads Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.

    2 Chron. 16:9 gives a critical requirement for God's willingness to intervene: our full heart-commitment. King Asa is God's example for having it -- and NOT having it. The outcomes are striking and should make us sit up and take notice.

    THE SECRET OF SPIRITUAL STRENGTH 2 Chron. 16:9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HE’LL BE THERE WAITING 1. A preacher who had suffered extremely strained relations with his congregation was finally appointed chaplain at the state prison. 2.

    Because of society’s moral climate its leaders will question the Bible & do their worst to cause believers to question it also. Jesus Christ second coming calls for & justifies a godly lifestyle, therefore it particularly will be belittled.

    The Divisive And The Godly Minister

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 13, 2012

    This is the very reason that this 3rd letter of John was written. There was a divisive leader in the church who was causing serious problems. In writing, John covers the traits of the divisive leader and he tells us how to handle him.

    A divisive leader is one of the most serious problems to ever confront a church. When a church has within its ranks a divisive leader, the very life and ministry of the church are threatened. A divisive leader always carries a church through one of its most traumatic experiences. He usually ...read more
