Pandemics, Politics, And The Judgment Of God

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 7, 2020

It is commonly believed that God 'judges' people today, and He does that by causing good things to happen to people doing good things and causing bad things to happen to people doing bad things.

This belief is nothing new and seen in Job, the oldest book of the Bible. Every use of the word 'judgment' referring specifically to God in the New Testament is regarding salvation and His eternal punishment for those who reject Jesus as Lord and Savior. Receiving Him is the only way to ...read more

Sons And Daughters Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jul 13, 2017

Romans 8 is one of the most beloved and comforting chapters of the Bible. As Paul writes this chapter, he gives us a wonderful picture of salvation: adoption.

In my NIV Study Bible, the cover and blank pages toward the front are filled with Bible verses. When I got that Bible in college, I would write on the cover and those empty pages Bible verses that I liked and wanted to be able to reference easily and quickly. One day, as I was flipping through ...read more

Let There Be Light Series

Contributed by Steve Pearman on Aug 15, 2024

Starting the series mainly focusing on darkness in the world, but then pointing to The Light

Introduction We are going to light up August! Light is a reoccurring theme in the bible, and for good reason. Light is something we all need in our lives, right? But also light is something our friends and community need. I believe that, through Christ, we can offer that light, that will lift ...read more

Our focus will be on three key passages: Matthew 23:1-12, Micah 3:5-12, and 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13. These Scriptures teach us about ...read more

The One Who Should Be Stoned

Contributed by Ben Peak on Jan 3, 2008

I think we all can relate to the woman caught in adultery.

Maybe you’ve heard the story about the scene that took place in a San Diego court room. Two men were on trial for armed robbery. An eyewitness took the stand, and the prosecutor moved carefully: "So, you say you were at the scene when the robbery took place?" "Yes." "And you saw a vehicle leave ...read more

Christians Have A Heart

Contributed by Edward Frey on Aug 7, 2002

The love of Christ compels us to have heavy hearts over those without hope in the Savior.

Remember the Tin man from the Wizard of Oz? What he wanted more than anything was to have a heart. He saw himself as an emotionless hunk of metal trapped in a tin body and incapable of feeling. He wanted to know what it was like to have compassion. In the end, what we remember most about ...read more

The Greatness Of Grace

Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Jul 22, 2001

A contrast between Adam and Christ.

A man was trying to convince an acquaintance that one individual can make a lasting impression on others. After a rather heated discussion, his friend continued to doubt this principle.

Why Jesus Came

Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Dec 22, 2006

His coming was the plan of God, the proof of His love and the provision for our salvation.

I encourage you to watch The Nativity Story with your family or friends. Then, after the movie, you can share the good news of salvation to them. Again, God gave us an open door to share the Gospel at Hollywood ’s expense! Let me share with you the real score behind the nativity. Romans 5:6-10 ...read more

Knowing The Heart Of God

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 16, 2006

Know the heart of God for the lost. Looking at the life of Jesus, we come to understand what is needed to reach the lost - compassion.

Sometime in July, we were looking at this passage during our prayer meeting: • Somehow I was drawn to one particular word, in verse 7. • Jesus says, “I tell you that in the same way, there will be MORE rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous persons who do not need to ...read more

Revelation Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 21, 2008

Just how much does Jesus know about you and what does he do with that information? A woman and some Pharisees find out but his response is very different between those who need forgiveness and those who want it.

In the movie "Conspiracy Theory" Mel Gibson believes that the government knows all kinds of things about him and are tracking his every move so that he doesn’t uncover some super secret plot they are trying to cover up. For most of the movie you believe that Gibson is just plan wacky but then all ...read more

God's Treasure - His Eternal Love Series

Contributed by Alan Tison on Mar 4, 2007

God compares our relationship to him with a marriage - where he is the groom and we are the bride. Whereas we are sometimes negligent in our communications with each other, God is never negligent with us. He keeps his communications open. The book of Roma

INTRODUCTION, One of the biggest mistakes that happens in a marriage is when we take each other for granted. After being married for a few years, it’s easy to assume that your spouse knows that you love him or her. But when you don’t express it with words or actions, human nature likes to assume ...read more

Are You A Legalist? Or An Illegalist?

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2013

Are you a legalist, or are you an illegalist? In other words, do you follow the law of God, or do you disobey the law of God? It is not a bad thing to be labeled a legalist. Satan has used this creative title to try to deceive many people to disobey God.

Matthew 7:13-27 Who in this room would consider themselves a legalist? This is the topic that I would like to briefly talk to you about tonight: Legalism, or “The Lie of Legalism.” Since the beginning of the Lord’s church, the devil has held nothing back; He has created so many ...read more
