    In this lesson, I would like to review some objections to the virgin conception of Jesus.

    Introduction Several years ago Larry King, the well-known CNN television talk-show host, was asked, “If you could interview anyone in all of history, who would that person be?” Do you know what he said? “Jesus Christ!” “And what would you like to ask him?” the ...read more

    The Difference Conversion Should Make

     | 3,082 views

    “OUR ABILITY AND DESIRE TO VIEW OUR GOD, OURSELVES AND OTHERS DIFFERENTLY RESTS ON OUR ABILITY TO EMBRACE OUR PERSONAL ENCOUNTER WITH CHRIST.”

    THE DIFFERENCE CONVERSION SHOULD MAKE 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-20 SO FROM NOW ON WE REGARD NO ONE FROM A WORLDLY POINT OF VIEW. THOUGH WE ONCE REGARDED CHRIST IN THIS WAY, WE DO SO NO LONGER. 17 THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; THE OLD HAS GONE, THE NEW HAS COME! 18 ALL THIS IS ...read more

    Full Or Empty

    Contributed by Greg Nance on May 5, 2012
     | 8,915 views

    Jesus gives us the only way to fullness of life. All other paths are empty.

    Today’s lesson is the final in our series on How Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. To start off our lesson let’s look at two questions and consider some scriptures that center around two key words: empty and full. What are some things that promise fullness, but deliver ...read more

    Leafy Growth

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on May 6, 2012
     | 4,015 views

    As branches of the vine, it is our purpose to produce much fruit, not simply to serve ourselves by producing leafy growth.

    God told Abram, “All people on earth will be blessed through you” (Gen. 12:3). He was not pointing to Isaac. Nor to Jacob, the first Israel; even though he brought blessing where he went, he was not the perfection of the promise—of God’s covenant. Similarly the sons of Jacob ...read more

    Controlling Habits And The Habit Of Controlling

    Contributed by Craig Benner on May 23, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,531 views

    Get victory over those bad habits. God has the remedy. Follow the practical guidelines of His Word and die out to the flesh. In Him we are more than overcomers.

    Controling Habits and the Habit of Controling Ga. 5:1,2 1 ¶ Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

    The Purpose Of Second Coming Prophecy

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on May 29, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,430 views

    Many misinterpret second coming prophecy because they do not know its purpose. It is not to inform us about events. It is not to identify the anti-Christ. It is to inspire us to obedience.

    The Purpose of Second Coming Prophesy 2 Thessalonians 3:4-13 Thomas Fuller was born in Africa about 1710. He was sold as a slave in Virginia in 1724. There is some disagreement about whether someone taught him to count to 100 or if he taught himself. He never had a day of formal education. He ...read more

    Mind Your Busyness

    Contributed by Chip Blackshear on Jun 2, 2012
     | 7,879 views

    Like a carnival ride, our modern lives seem to be spinning out of control. But busyness is the enemy of the spiritual life. As Elijah discovered, God is not in the busyness - the earthquake, wind and fire - but in the quiet whisper.

    End Times Midrash: Rapture And Tribulation Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 26, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,605 views

    God obviously wants us to know what will happen in the End Times because his Word contains so much about those times. The New Testament teachings about the end times are often developed from Old Testament passages, like Daniel 12:1-3.

    End Times Midrash: Rapture and Tribulation (Daniel 12:1 and many New Testament verses based on this verses) 1. A lot of people fear the world is going to end in 2012, based upon the Mayan calendar. Other people are hearing trumpet sounds in the sky, like a shofar. 2. What does the Bible say ...read more

    The Big Picture Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Jul 1, 2012
     | 4,986 views

    The question is, “What or whom are you worshiping?” But what is worship?” Worship is our response both personal and corporate to God for who He is and for what He has done expressed in and by the things we say and the way we live.

    The Big Picture Romans 12:1-2 David Yarborough writes, “Back in 1992 when the Dallas Cowboys were preparing to play the San Francisco 49ers And then he writes, “Why did you come to worship today? Our primary reason for attending church should be to worship God, honor Him and to show ...read more

    Jesus calims to be God by declaring that he is the Resurrection and the Life (John 11.25).

    1. Searching for Life There is a legend of a Fountain of Youth believed to be in Florida. The legend has different variations of regaining one's youth.

    Radical Trust Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 2, 2012
     | 5,363 views

    Mark wrote nothing by accident in his gospel. Just prior to the arrest of Jesus, he presents a stark contrast between those who think they have it all and those who have nothing. Which group is which? The answer may surprise you.

    As we begin this portion of Mark 12, Jesus has just finished his series of debates with the religious leaders. They’re done, but Jesus isn’t. He came to Jerusalem to first proclaim His hostile takeover—retaking for God the thing man had conformed to his own image. He proclaimed ...read more

    No literal portrait of Jesus exists. But the likeness of the One who died to set all men free can be seen in the lives of those who truly follow Him. If we are truly following Christ others will see it in our appearance, our attitudes, and our associa

    The Heavies For Successful Ministry-I

    Contributed by Byron Sherman on Aug 20, 2012
     | 1,982 views

    1 of 2. Luke ensures his audience that Jesus returned to Galilee with a vigorous/robust/solid ministry. Jesus’ ministry is vigorous/robust/solid. Why is the solidity of Jesus’ ministry important?
