Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 2, 2023

Josiah The Boy King

Contributed by Don Campbell on Jul 2, 2023

Paul commended the genuine faith of Timothy, saying that it had first dwelt his mother and grandmother. Josiah's father and grandfather were the worst of the worst, causing Israel to become more idolatrous than the surrounding nations. Josiah broke the pattern.

Looking A Little Bit Crazy

Contributed by Charles Jones on Jul 4, 2021

To some outsiders, it must look a little bit crazy. Cause all you talk about is God and Church. Why are you always trying to invite me to church? What's up with all of these stage lights, bands and video screens?

Looking A Little Bit Crazy Mark 3:20-30 There was a photocopied sign that was posted inside a church office.

Glory Of The Believers Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Oct 15, 2022

The Church has lost primary focus on Missions and Evangelism, fellowship rather involved accusing one another on the basis of food, clothes, and a few habits pertaining to various cultural identities, causing many to stumble in their faith walk and lose their commitment to Christ and to the Church.

Romans 14:17-23 Glory of the believers Nature of the Kingdom of God Paul points out to his readers and listeners that the Kingdom of God is not related to food habits and approved drinks.

Revelation Is Sufficient Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

You Don't Look Like Your Picture!

Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 18, 2022

The first church was powerful for the cause of Christ. When we match the present churches to that earliest congregation, we are often compelled to confess that we don't look like we are their descendants. It is past time for us to take steps to correct this situation.
