The Lord's Desires For You

Contributed by Ronnie Mutina on Apr 12, 2003

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Mar 2, 2008

The cry of the inner child remains the same. We desperately want someone to love us. Love me for me. Charles Spurgeon (English preacher of the 19th century) said, “God chose me before I was born; for he never would have chosen me afterwards!”

The childish art of love – pulling the petals from a flower and reciting, “(s)he loves me, (s)he loves me not” – left love to chance. Even rigged it because if you start a certain way you end up where you want to – “(s)he love me!” Prance off feeling hopeful that love has a chance! The cry of the ...read more

Prodigal Father- Amazing Grace Series

Contributed by Mark Wilkinson on Feb 3, 2007

God is reckless in his love for you. When Christ cried out from the cross God did not answer because he chose you. I don’t know what kind of a father you had in the past. I know the father you can have now.

The Prodigal Father- Amazing Grace We begin a series on Grace. I recommend the book what’s so amazing about grace by Philip Yancey. The first lesson is on the prodigal Father. I use the word prodigal in describing the father because prodigal means reckless. A prodigal does what he wants. The ...read more

The Crucifixion Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 22, 2005

Jesus chose to go to the cross - to be beaten and spat upon and to be separated from the Father - even though He didn’t have to. The question is: why did He do it? Also learn when it’s right to speak up and when to remain silent.

1 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. The Jewish religious leadership had already decided to try to get Jesus killed - they had done it ...read more

Flood Insurance Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 23, 2010

Jesus used the conditions of Noah’s day as an illustration of a world that was completely blind to the evil that was all around them. Noah lived in some very dark days. And that’s why Noah stood out. Noah chose to live a different life than the crowd a

Psalm 23 Part Vii "My Cup Overflows Series

Contributed by Brad Henry on Aug 9, 2011

David’s cup overflowed because of NOTHING he did. His cup overflowed because of what God did through him. God chose David. There was not anything David could have done to earn this spot. No amount of chasing will get the job done if God is not in it.

Psalm 23b “You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” Since David write the 23rd Psalm and David talks about anointing lets look back to David’s anointing by the prophet Samuel. When the Lord took the kingdom from Saul the Lord led the prophet Samuel to Jesse’s family. ...read more

Nailprints Don’t Lie!

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 6, 2020

The Lord Jesus intentionally chose a skeptic as one of the 12. Jesus proved beyond any shadow of doubt to the rationalist, Thomas, that He was resurrected from the dead. Thomas died preaching Him in India, because he knew that, "Nailprints don't lie!"

From Bitter To Better

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 6, 2021

Trials and troubles, far from being harmful to you, cause us to grow. Under Pharaoh's oppression Israel grew dramatically. Joseph too faced the dilemma of whether to become bitter at his brothers, or better. He saw the hand of God & chose the latter.

Ready. Set. Go! Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Sep 26, 2021

Suppose that the Lord Jesus chose this very moment to return. Would you be ready? Our objective as Christians is not merely to be included in the Rapture but to bring as many people with us as we can. My eternal hope and my ongoing prayer is that neither you nor I get “left behind.”

Even Though I Feel This Way Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Oct 2, 2021

We are faced with two options. The first is to see how bad things really are and to focus on them. And we have every right to focus on them because things are indeed bad. Or the second option is to decide even though things are bad, I chose to rejoice and trust in my Lord.

What Is The Proof

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Dec 27, 2022

Every Christmas people gather in churches and exchange gifts among families and friends. Glory and honor to God for giving us His Son, Jesus Christ. We thank Jesus Himself, who chose to be born into our lives, die for us, and resurrected to give us eternal life.

Although there are some people who do not celebrate Christmas because they claim Jesus was not born on the 25th of December. Okay, maybe they are right. Contrariwise, others celebrate Christmas, regardless of when Jesus was born. The question I would like you to ponder today and answer is, ...read more
