Lesson 19: Positive Basis: Death Of The "Old Man” Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 27, 2018

When we are born again we are called upon to “put off” the old garments of the natural life, the natural man. We are to deny the ways of the “old man.” (The “old man” is by nature corrupt, and by nature follows “the deceitful lust.”)

The Spirit Sealed Believers In Their Personal Past

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 15, 2017

Paul/Timothy In Galatia To Deliver Council's Decrees Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 27, 2017

Paul’s return trip to southern Galatia appears to have been much less eventful than his first visit. But the only incident of any significance on which Luke comments is the addition of Timothy to the missionary team.

Speaking The Truth In Love - Loving The Mentally Ill Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013

If we love the mentally ill, we won't judge them, blame them or suggest that they are simply suffering through a spiritual battle. If we love them, we will help, we will listen, we will accept them.

A few weeks ago we discussed what it means to speak the truth in love and how we do so with unbelievers and how we love those who embrace immorality. Today we're going to continue to speak the truth in love for another group of folks that we don't talk about much. This is what we want to discuss ...read more

Don’t Lose Sense Of His Presence

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 10, 2011

God is present in our lives but we do not always sense His presence, because life’s distractions and calamities often drown out His voice. We need to remember Him (think of His presence), recognize Him (trust His presence) and realize His presence (tune

Are You Ashamed Of The Gospel?

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013

Paul said that He was not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Can we say the same? Do we show that we are not ashamed how Paul did?

INTRO I believe one of the greatest evidences of Jesus Christ are the changed lives of the men that we see in the scriptures that claimed to see our resurrected Lord. The greatest of these accounts I believe is the change in the life of Saul of Taurus, later known as the Apostle Paul. We learn in ...read more

Heartburn

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 7, 2019

Jesus was 2 feet away from them, but they didn't know it, but there was a burning sensation, not in their stomachs, but in their souls - the shekinah, the manifest presence of God. Suddenly they were aware of Him - His voice, His mannerisms, His nail-scarred hands. He was alive!

The Pouting Prophet Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 3, 2019

It is sad when someone gets to a place in life where the misery of others brings satisfaction. Rather than desiring repentance and restoration, a desire to see judgment can outweigh compassion.

The prophet’s life was filled with several twists and turns after hearing the call to go to Nineveh. Initially making the decision to flee from God, Jonah soon discovered such an endeavor ...read more
