    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 9, 2012
    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,023 views

    Our past; our present; our future. Our past doesn’t have to count. The only thing that really counts is where we are today, because where we are today determines where we will be tomorrow.

    Christians are commanded to demonstrate perfect courtesy toward all people. We are called to speak the truth in love; this means that we are to be gentle and gracious toward those who speak ill of us or who attempt to injure us.

    “Remind [the believers] to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarrelling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to ...read more

    Often feeling alone in the universe, we ask does heaven care; Psalm 139 and the story of Hagar assures us that God sees us and cares.

    The scandal of Christ is embodied in Revelation 5. He is God, Equal to Him in every way and worshiped by all.

    I remember a friend of mine suggesting that a waiting till after your death to give people you love something you want them to have is not the best way. If you wait till they get it from your will, in many cases, they must pay an inheritance tax on it. Besides, you don't get to express your esteem ...read more

    Discovering God’s Will

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 9, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,324 views

    Knowing God’s will is sometimes difficult. People want God to tell them specifically what to do - where to work, where to live, whom to marry, etc. God rarely gives people information that direct and specific. God allows us to make choices regarding those

    Opening illustration: A young man facing the future and unsure of what the next year would bring, concluded, “Nobody knows what God’s will is.” Is he right? Does a lack of certainty about the future translate into not knowing God’s will? The concept of knowing God’s will is often limited to ...read more

    God proves the gospel by the resurrection.

    In spite of where you may have been in life or how you may have lived, because of what Christ did on the cross, you can now live a life of victory because you have been set free.

    Our prayer is that for those of you who don’t yet have a relationship with Jesus Christ, that before you leave this place today, you may be compelled to put your trust in Him and accept Him as your Lord and Savior.

    Straight Outta Context: Jeremiah 29:11 Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 28,671 views

    Jeremiah 29:11 is not about our own personal fulfillment, it’s about our spiritual fulfillment. If we take scripture out of context, we run the risk of making scripture fit our life, instead of making our life fit scripture.

    Jeremiah 29:11 You all know that I love history, and I love bringing up historical events in my messages. But instead of going back to World War II or the Civil War or something else that happened a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, let’s go back to September 11, 2001. How many of ...read more
