Thanksgiving 2025: Is It Possible To Give Thanks In All Circumstances?

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Nov 21, 2025

Many people view Paul's advice in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 as unrealistic and even annoying advice. But he was not naive. He showed us three reasons why we should do it.

Let's read 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” The phrase “in all circumstances” means in everything or in all situation. That means when we are sick, face difficulties, fail, or lose someone we love, we are told to give ...read more

Made For More

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025

Jesus calls His church beyond comfort, silence, and spectacle—to live Spirit-filled, Scripture-grounded lives that reveal His power and love.

Picture Jesus, freshly baptized, water still drying on his shoulders, the voice of the Father ringing in his soul. “You are my beloved Son.” The dove has barely taken flight. That is exactly when the devil comes calling. Nobody gets a free victory lap after baptism. The real fight often starts ...read more

An Outline Of Acts 15

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 9, 2022

Acts 15 is an important chapter. Once and for all, the Church, under the Holy Spirit's leadership, made it plain that Gentile believers were not to be under the Law of Moses. The chapter closes with a pair of departures.

Introduction: This chapter covers the first Church Council meeting in Jerusalem, and the decisions reached after all sides presented their statements. The result was a request for Gentile believers to stop doing four things which Jewish-background believers, and possibly unbelieving Jews, would ...read more
