    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 7, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,221 views

    To the world, Christ and His people appear weak. So the world mocks Him. However, in His weakness, He exhibits His strength.

    “The men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, ‘Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?’ And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.” Perhaps you imagine that the soldiers who beat Jesus and mocked Him ...read more

    The Devil Goes To Church Too Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 21, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 15,161 views

    Satan’s aim is to destroy our faith and to destroy our church. If he can destroy our faith, then we’ll destroy our church for him. And if he destroys the church, our faith will follow.

    The Devil goes to church … did you know that? He has his favorite pew. He has his favorite hymns. He loves to see a church stuck in a rut because that’s a dying church. He loves a divided church because constant conflict keeps the church distracted from what it’s supposed to be doing. He’s ...read more

    The End Is Near

    1) The Destruction of the Temple (Mark 13:1-2), 2) The Deception of Many (Mark 13:4–6), and finally, 3) The Devastation of the Earth (Mark 13:7–8).

    As we come to the end of 2017, the review of events over the past year show that, in many ways, nothing has changed. For example, lamenting “the winds of war” blowing around the world, Pope Francis in his traditional Christmas message on Monday called for a two-state solution to find peace in the ...read more

    The Light That Leads The Way

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Feb 2, 2015
     | 4,688 views

    Only by wading into the life that Christ offers and letting it wash away our sins, our false identity, our injustice and selfishness, our commitment to violence will we be recognized and worship the One who is coming in Bethlehem.

    John 1:6-8, 19-28 sets the stage for Christ’s ministry. John the Baptist was the witness to the light of Christ. He was the light that would lead people to Christ. Jesus would fulfill the expectations the Jews had regarding the long-expected Messiah, but not in the way many Jews expected. He ...read more

    The Word provides a description of life in the "last days." We are forewarned so that we can continue to live godly lives even as the world grows dark.

    “Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

    The Pathway Of Adam Vs. The Pathway Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 14, 2024
     | 781 views

    I was walking in the pathway of Adam, the pathway of rebellion against God. And it was leading toward disaster. Not only that, the entire world system was built around the pathway of Adam. So it naturally drew me in.

    There was a pathway I was on for many years. It was a pathway with many bright lights and beautiful things. So much technology and media, so many songs, and movies and events, giant arenas and commercials and billions of dollars in industry. I walked that path day by day, it was at times ...read more

    The Bible reveals that true, enduring love is rooted in one person: Jesus Christ. Without Him, love is shallow and temporary. With Him, love is powerful, life-transforming, and world-changing.

    Go! And Be a Community that Loves Jesus Introduction: What Defines a Loving Community? What makes a community truly loving? Is it shared interests? Mutual respect? A common goal? Or is it something deeper—something eternal? The Bible reveals that true, enduring love is rooted in one person: Jesus ...read more

    ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT JESUS? John 7:14-18, 25-36 Whenever the secular media try to do specials on religion in America, Evangelicals are usually characterized as being part of a “subculture.” That is, we are not considered to be part of mainstream America.

     | 20,428 views

    As Christians in the world we often try to hide our faith out of fear but God has given us his Holy Spirit to overcome our fears and be bold witnesses in this world.

    Camouflage. It’s something very well known today. Besides being worn just as a fashion today by some boys and men, why is camouflage used? First, to be able to attack without being seen. This is the whole purpose in war. Soldiers are dressed up in camouflage so that they can sneak through ...read more
