    based on 37 ratings
     | 9,268 views

    Part 1 of a 7 part series on walking by faith and not by sight. This first part deals with continual change as a mark of a person walking in the Spirit.

    Introduction: Many people are trying to figure out what this “Christian” thing is all about. What should we experience after we have been saved. We hear about change, but what should change? Then once I have changed, will it get old? What about it all? Another angle on this question, though ...read more

    Humanity struggles with its knowledge of love. Although we have written about love, talked about love, and explored the many varieties and dynamics of love, humanity stills has to evolve in it practice of love.

    Four Who Were Lost Series

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Jun 17, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,529 views

    In these stories we see four ways of getting lost, four consequences of being lost, and a fourfold quest for the lost.

    The Four Who Were Lost Luke 15 Intro One of my most cherished chapters in the Bible is Luke 15. I like the way it begins: “They dear near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.” Much is said about Christ in those words. They mean that those who failed realized that in Christ ...read more

    LOVE BEYOND ALL MEASURE John 15:12-13 Christmas Series 2008 The love of God is incomprehensible to each one of us. We cannot comprehend the magnitude of how God really does love us.

    Jonah Paid The Price Series

    Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 12, 2013

    God had instructed Jonah, God had spoken to Jonah, I believe to go to a certain place to preach the gospel, but the bible say’s that Jonah turned to a different direction in order to disobey or runaway from God.

    I believe he hadn’t read the scripture written by David, it says: even if I make my bed in Hell, thou are there “AMEN”. I have come to realize in life that no one can hide from God, if God doesn’t speak to you now, it doesn’t mean that you have succeeded in hiding ...read more

    How faith keeps us grounded when technology blurs the truth.

    Introduction I want to start with something simple. Life today feels like one giant dating app. Swipe left. Swipe right. Reject this. Keep that. But it’s not just dating apps.

    From Despair To Hope

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025
     | 163 views

    Funerals today are often called celebrations of life. While we grieve, we also celebrate the hope that is ours through Christ. As Paul reminds us, we do not “grieve as others who have no hope,” for Jesus’ death and resurrection assures us of eternal life.

    Funerals are some of the hardest moments of our lives. We come with tears, with memories, with aching hearts. Death feels final. We feel the empty chair at the table. We hear the silence where laughter once rang. We even catch the scent of a shirt still hanging in the closet, and it all reminds us ...read more
