    The Devil Made Me Do It!

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 23, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,575 views

    When we disobey God by sinning, let’s not shift the blame or justify our actions with the faulty “the devil made me do it” theology. Instead, let’s take full responsibility for our actions, confess our sins to a gracious and forgiving Father, and pursue r

    Opening illustration: In March 2009, a 62-year old woman was charged with stealing more than $73,000 from her church in the state of Washington. When the detectives interrogated her, she told them: “Satan had a big part in the theft.” It sounds like she was saying that the devil made ...read more

    Today I’ll try and lay a foundation to build on as we start. From what we read, we’re told that it was pinned down about “95-96 A.D.” It was never God’s intention to hold back the meaning of the Revelation, but to show and to make known it’s meaning.

    REVELATION # 1 REV. 1: INTRO: - 4-18-09 Today we’ll began a study of the book of the “REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST” ***and I’m sure we’ll be here awhile but we’re in no hurry. Today I’ll try and lay a foundation to build on as we start. From what we read, ...read more

    There will be times in our lives when confidences are broken, tears are shed, feelings are hurt and trust gets damaged. All of this leads me to an extremely important question: who or what can you genuinely trust? Tonight I want us to learn four impor

    A Virgin Will Conceive

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 8, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,286 views

    Like Ahaz before us, we don’t want a sign from God--at least a sign that leaves God running the show. What Ahaz did on the outside, we do on the inside. We like things just the way they are, if it leaves us in charge.

    Intro Isaiah’s prophecy of the Virgin giving birth was a sign against King Ahaz. It’s also a sign against us, all fallen humanity. Ahaz was a young Israelite man gone bad. He was of David’s line, but not of David’s faith. And he had become king of the Southern kingdom of Israel, Judah. Ahaz ...read more

We see war, murder, theft, and other bad things along with job uncertainties, families falling apart among other things. There is so much going on around us that is ugly it can be hard ...read more

    Is it just me, or have you also noticed that interest in the occult and demon possession is increasing at an alarming rate.

    Coming From Out Of The Middle Of The Pack

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,884 views

    I believe that most Christians are in the middle of where they can be in God. They don’t want to go too far for fear of what God might expect out of them. I believe that we need to break out from the middle and start heading to the lead of the pack.

    Coming From Out Of The Middle Of The Pack Isaiah 55:6-13 6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he ...read more

    Last week we saw how Joseph, his brothers and even the Egyptians mourned the death of Jacob. But what now? What’s next now that Jacob is gone? Do they go back to a normal life back in Egypt?
