    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 9, 2024
     | 212 views

    How can you be happy in this life AND in the life to come? That's the question of the ages.

    Friday of the 2nd week in Advent 2024 When we try to learn God’s will from the daily readings given us by the Holy Spirit, it can be very useful to start with the Psalmist’s words. Today we are given psalm 1, which is chosen for that prominent position because it sums up everything in that ...read more

     | 8,600 views

    In spite of building our lives on Jesus Christ, there will be times we go through the fire. But we will be purified, coming out cleaner, brighter, and tested.

    Thank God for the Fire! Community Thanksgiving Service, November 25, 1998 Vallonia, Indiana Introduction: As much as I enjoy contemporary worship, some of the old hymns are being forgotten. Others are reserved just for special seasons. Do "We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing" in May? ...read more

    Introduction & Agnosticism

    For anyone pursuing a degree in Apologetics that was given a dollar for every time they were asked "What is that, learning how to say you are sorry" upon answering the question of what it is that they study so many times, many would have financed a considerable portion of their academic pursuits. ...read more

    The bigger the challenge becomes, the bigger the stage for your God to do His amazing thing - maybe something bigger than you have ever seen Him do before!

    BIG STAGE...BIG PERFORMANCE Text: 1 Kings 18:36-38 It was the largest cooperative effort ever among the churches of this county where we were about to do our next community-wide outreaches.

     | 5,687 views

    How many of you are truly prepared for the coming Day of the Son of Man? Unless you are "moving with godly fear" you should fear this great day and learn from Noah!

    Noah Theme: Moving with godly fear in preparation for the coming day of the Lord. Heb. 11:7 INTRODUCTION A. The world obviously lives oblivious to the coming day of the Lord: eating, drinking, and marrying. 1. This, however, is also true for most ...read more

     | 5,885 views

    The challenge of building a strong marriage in a world increasingly opposed to godly marriage.

    “The LORD God said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.’ Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,278 views

    The call to purity must be iterated in this day if the people of God are to enjoy His power.

    “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.” [1] Listening to contemporary sociologists, one would conclude that marriage is a dying institution. Actually, one need not listen to sociologists ...read more

    What Do You Have That You Did Not Receive? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 23, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,138 views

    We are far more prone to think too highly of ourselves than to think too poorly of ourselves. Such thinking tends to divide the people of God.

    “What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?” [1] Our contemporaries, and likely we ourselves, esteem the rugged individual. We imagine that we are distinct from everyone else. We are taught in elementary school that there ...read more

    If The Bugle Is Expected, A Flute Will Not Do

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,158 views

    If we will honour the Risen Saviour, we must ensure that we are focused on what is of importance to Him. Our purpose is not to make people like us, but to fulfil the mind of the Master.

    “Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? And if the bugle ...read more

    The Root Of Immorality

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 29, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,670 views

    Have the professed people of God permitted themselves to be compromised by the world to such an extend that they are powerless against wickedness? Though the thought is frightful, Christians need to assess our relationship with the Living God.

    The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame. They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity. And it shall be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds. They shall eat, ...read more

     | 1,154 views

    God will use you and what you bring to Him for His glory. But God does not depend on your education to advance His cause.

    Earlier this year, I read an opinion piece that opened with these thought-provoking words. “Imagine a world where your child becomes the child of the state, effectively no longer under your care or influence. Their heart, soul, mind, and body are captured by the state's dictates, philosophy, ...read more
