    When the religious authorities fail in their attempt to trip up Jesus with the Scriptures they descend to character assassination. They come dangerously close to eternal separation from God. How can that happen?

    No one could deny that Jesus was different than anyone who had ever walked the earth. The words He spoke rang true and reamed His opponents. His actions were unmatched—healing, setting people free from possession and disease. His enemies, the Jewish leaders of the day, tried to trip Him up ...read more

    Unstrained Mercy

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 9, 2011
     | 3,153 views

    Unstrained mercy needs to be constrained by the same constraints that God himself recognizes: by wisdom, by justice, by the long-term, eternal good of the person you are trying to help.

    We’ve seen a lot about pardons in the news lately, haven’t we. Why did former President Clinton pardon Marc Rich? The “fugitive financier” is the nicely alliterative phrase that all the commentators use - I bet the journalist who coined the phrase is wishing he - or she - ...read more

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Jun 23, 2008
     | 3,696 views

    How do we reject sin and enter the real life God wishes for us?

    Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound? 2By no means!

You thought no one noticed and you discover that everyone saw you fall, fail, make a fool of yourself. You find yourself with a blush. Like . . . ...read more

     | 3,384 views

    There are three Ecumenical Creeds which were constructed in the early days of the Church, to communicate Scriptural truth and combat errors. We can use them as tools for evangelism.

    The purpose and value of the Athanasian Creed: ‘all truth’ John 16 v. 13 We are here today because we believe certain things about God and Jesus. If we did not believe them we would be in a different place, a different church. If we did not believe any of them we wouldn’t be in ...read more

    Whom Have I Cheated? Series

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Jul 2, 2013
     | 7,525 views

    One thing the church lacks is more people of character and integrity. Character and integrity are used synonymously, but there is a difference between the two. Character develops through individual situations, integrity finalizes codified virtues learned.

    WHOM HAVE I CHEATED? THE SIGNIFICANCE OF INTEGRITY 1 SAMUEL 12:1-5 1 Samuel said to all Israel, “I have listened to everything you said to me and have set a king over you. 2 Now you have a king as your leader.
