    Holy Conversations Series: Holy Conversations: Talking about God in Everyday Life Brad Bailey – Oct. 1, 2023

    Intro I first heard of how God had come to us in Christ … early 1970s… through my HS and college years… there was nothing unusual about believing in God… and even accepting Christ as savior. For sure there was the awkward tension some friends felt about how it might affect partying together in the ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 26, 2021
     | 1,288 views

    No city, no nation, no culture deliberately sets out to become a society of depraved miscreants, to be forever remembered as abhorrent, to give its name to an unspeakable sin.

    Homily for Monday of 13th week in Course Gen 18; Mt 8:18-22 Have you ever wondered how Sodom and Gomorrah got to be the way they were in the time of Abraham and Lot? In their day gangs of violent homosexuals roamed the city night after night, invading the homes of law-abiding citizens, ...read more

    Why do we try to figure out how God works?, instead of just trusting He know best.

    "When It Doesn’t Make Sense, Does That Make It Senseless?" 2 Corinthians 4:8,9 How do we as Christians in this world make any sense out of what makes no sense? How do we cope with things in our lives that just don’t make sense? There are 4 steps that we must take in this situation. 1. ...read more

    When Humans Don’t Make Sense To God

    Contributed by Timothy Cooley, Sr. on Sep 9, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,530 views

    "When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" We talk about our disappointment with God, but is God ever puzzled by our lack of faith?

    The parable of the widow and the unjust judge relates to our disappointment with God. Like the mistreated widow, we often wonder why God allows so much pain and injustice to go on. We pray and pray and yet no answer comes. The righteous perish and the wicked flourish. Sometimes we even wonder, ...read more

    WHEN ON A SCARY RIDE, THE LAST THING I WANT TO HEAR IS THATR WE MUST TRUST THE BUILDER OF THE RIDE. WHEN ON A SPIRITUAL ROLLARCOASTER ALL WE CAN DO IS TREMBLE AT THE POWER OF GOD AND TRUST IN HIM.

    WHEN GOD’S WAYS MAKE NO SENSE: TREMBLE AND TRUST HABAKKUK 1:1-11 TODAY WE ARE CONTINUING A SERIES OF MESSAGES ENTITLED “WHEN GOD’S WAYS MAKE NO SENSE.” THE ESSENTIAL ISSUE IS THAT WE HAVE DECIDED THE WAY THAT GOD SHOULD ACT IN OUR LIVES, AND WHEN HE DOESN’T WE FIND IT CONFUSING.

    THE HARDEST THING AT TIMES TO DO IS TO BE PATIENT AND PRAY AS WE WAIT FOR GOD TO MOVE ON OUR SITUATION.

    First Things First Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 14, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,501 views

    Use what you have before you ask for more; put the work of the Lord first in your priorities; and expect the church itself to live in faith and with godly priorities.

    It is very important to put first things first. It’s important to get things in the right order. If you don’t get first things first, life just does not work out right. For example, speech. Language is tricky, and if you don’t get the words in the right order, the meaning can be drastically ...read more

    No one can do everything but everyone can do something.

    With all the resources available to us, why are people having such a hard time becoming mature disciples of Jesus? I’m convinced another recent survey (2014 Barna survey) provides the answer to that question. When people were asked what, if anything, helps them to grow in their faith, they ...read more

    Was The Early Church Socialist, Even Communist? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2021
     | 1,726 views

    Some commentators and politicians who belong to the Superficialist School of Bible Interpretation really mess up when they say Christians should be socialists because the early Church was.

    Jesus told His disciples, "Blessed are you poor" as Luke records it, and Matthew writes "Blessed are the poor in spirit." Filled with the Holy Spirit, the early Christians, or many of them, decided to take Jesus literally. They pooled their resources, as Luke records in the Acts ...read more

    An examination of some of the major problems that arise when couples ignore God’s guidance and choose to live together before marriage.

    The World Turned Upside Down Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 5, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,898 views

    An adaptation of the Seder service: Jesus turns upside down all our common values: sorrow for slavery becomes sorrow for sin; common issues become community; and wandering becomes salvation, all through the Cross.

    When great crowds gather in city streets, it is either for a celebration or for a revolution. Throngs do not come together without a purpose; they come together either to celebrate a great occasion or to agitate for what they want. They come to see evidence of a world turned upside down.
