    Our Mighty God Series

     | 5,411 views

    We all are very independent individuals. Some of our first words – perhaps even our first sentence – expressed that self-reliance. "I can do it myself." This is healthy when we’re dressing and cleaning up. It becomes unhealthy when we try to control o

    Introduction: The names in this story have been changed out of respect for their privacy. Julie W told her family’s story in a magazine article. [My daughter], Allison, came home for the weekend.

    The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022
     | 1,226 views

    John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

    The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges. This is the beginning of an obvious plot using any means possible by the Pharisees and the other ...read more

    Jairus had a great need, and he met One greater than his need. When he faced an impossibility, Jesus provided life. We all have difficulties beyond our control. We have great needs, and we serve a great Christ for our needs.

    Faith in the midst of Despair Mark 5: 21-24; 35-43 Following the great miracle in Gadara where the demonic was healed, Jesus made His way back across the Sea of Galilee. Most agree He returned to the region around Capernaum, the home-base for His ministry. As soon as Jesus steps out of the boat, ...read more

     | 8,327 views

    Men in general…and, Christian men in particular…have a need to look good. We need to appear to be in control. But, in truth we are very much like ducks gliding along on a pond…we look serene…and calm…but, underneath we are paddling like mad.

    The Blessing of taking part in the first resurrection is that Satan has no control over us anymore – when we respond to Jesus’ words of life Satan loses us to Jesus Kingdom! Satan despises Jesus because he keeps snatching people back to life that he has w

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,179 views

    To our cry, “How long O Lord?” comes the message of Obadiah, that God is in control and that He is working out His will and purpose through it all, or what He says through Obadiah at the very end of this letter, “The kingdom shall be the Lord's.” (Obadiah 1:21)

    The Kingdom is the Lord’s Book of Obadiah Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScnGFMIzeVY As Christians we’ll have enemies, and our spiritual maturity can be measured by the kind of enemies we have. What we need to make sure of, however, is that our enemies are the same as God’s enemies, and ...read more

    Meekness: Gentle Strength In A Loud World

    Contributed by Steve Klein on Feb 24, 2026
     | 120 views

    Jesus came in meekness to be King. He invites us to learn meekness from Him and to exhibit meekness continually in our everyday lives – when correcting or being corrected, in conflict, in submission to God, in humble service to our fellowman, and in the way we control our tongues to edify others.

    Meekness: Gentle Strength in a Loud World Intro: Biblical meekness is "strength under control"—a powerful, gentle, and humble spirit that chooses restraint over retaliation. It is rooted in trust in God rather than self-assertion. It is an inward quality that God Himself highly values ...read more

    Fired Up: From Anger To Action

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 350 views

    Anger shows up—on the road, at home, at work. Psalm 37 teaches us not to “burn” (fret) but to trust, wait, and do good. The bible distinguishes anger that seeks justice from anger that seeks control. Trust God’s justice, practice meekness, and pursue peace in Christ.

    Road Rage Let me ask you a simple question: “When was the last time you got angry?” Maybe it was this morning when that driver cut you off in traffic. Maybe it was last night when your teenage kid rolled their eyes at you one too many times. Or maybe you’re angry right now about something deeper - ...read more

    Does God Know What He Is Doing? Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 4, 2021
     | 2,019 views

    Simple logic cannot comprehend the depths of the soul – and our complex but sinful human heart. Nor can it fathom the sovereign plans of God.

    Does God Know What He is Doing? (Romans 9:1-5) Introduction to Romans 9:1-11:36 In verse 1-6a, Paul answers the question, “If God is sovereign and works in hearts to create belief or hardens hearts, if He knows the future, and He has promised to exalt Israel, how do we account for Israel’s ...read more

    Thoughts And Prayers Matter

     | 12,823 views

    In the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and many Christians are repeating “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action.” Could it be that they, like many Christians, don’t truly understand prayer and what it can accomplish?

    In 2015, after a shooter left 14 dead in California, the cover of the New York Daily News shouted “God Isn’t Fixing This! As the latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards (referring to politicians) who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind ...read more

    The Apostle John wrote to his close friend Gaius, and in this short letter we read of a close friend, a wicked man, and an excellent example of a Christian testimony. They are the three men in this letter. I hope you find this instructive.

    THREE MEN AND A CHURCH – NOW WHAT IS THE RESULT? – 3rd LETTER OF JOHN Here are three glimpses of a church that could be any church but it is specific to the little group where Gaius was fellowshipping.

    Noah gets drunk and gets naked in his tent. He behaves badly. He fails in terms of his witness to his family. He fails God in that he’s way out of control. BUT IT IS HAM’S DISRESPECT, NOT NOAH’S FAILURES THAT FEATURE IN THIS STORY.
