In one of Max Lucado’s books he asks a very interesting question. He says “couldn’t God have thought of something better to compare us to instead of sheep? Probably not.

What Will Heaven Be Like? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 6, 2019

Compared to other world religions, Christianity has very little to say about what heaven will be like. Why would that be and what can we learn from what the Bible DOES say about our eternal home?

A little boy got on the elevator with his father at the Empire State Building. They were going to the observation deck at the top and view the city.

Use It Or Lose It

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 19, 2017

Jesus' parable of the talents is a call to us to invest all that we are and all that we have in God's kingdom building work. The story reminds us not to compare, but to faithfully invest what we have, and to get to know the Master's heart.

Matthew 25:14-30 Use It or Lose It Today’s parable is a story about investments. Sometimes we think it’s about using our natural abilities to serve God. Why do we think that?

Adversity

Contributed by Jonathan White on Feb 5, 2022

We all face some type of adversity. I don’t want to compare adversity or determine who has it worse; but rather look to scripture to see what it says about adversity and how to better handle it.

ADVERSITY INTRO: • We all have some type of adversity. • Last 2 years have been tough on everyone. • Although adversity differs from one person to the next, we all face it. • I don’t want to compare what adversity is worse than another. • Or who has the worst adversity. • I want us to look to ...read more

To Whom Will You Liken God? Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jul 11, 2022

To whom shall the LORD be compared? Who is his equal? There really is none like him! When we really see that truth, and we accept it, then we’ll be comforted in all our trouble, our sin and brokenness.

There’s a lot of power in a good question. Because sometimes a question is so pointed that it leaves no possible answer but absolute truth—there’s no wiggle room, there can be no hesitation, just plain truth. In the Bible there’s lots of questions like this. Think of the powerful questions in ...read more

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Dec 18, 2020

The apostle Paul compares a husbands love for his wife to Christ's love for the church. How should men love their wives? He must have a sacrifical love, sanctifying love, and sensitive love for his bride.

When Heaven Opens

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Mar 1, 2003

I recently saw a sign for a store advertising a grand opening. The store manager boasted of great give-a-ways and all sort of wonderful prizes. However, none of these things compare to what we gain when Heaven opens.

God also showed Peter that he would have to work among the unbelief, prejudices, and despair of this world. Heaven opened to give Peter a promise of continual divine assistance.
