    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 25, 2016

     | 8,700 views

    Life is a lot like “bumper cars.” Do you want to bump those who bump you? That may be a fun strategy for bumper cars, but it’s a terrible strategy for life. Jesus shows us a better way!

     | 11,487 views

    This message is a exposition of the Parable of the Prodigal. The message demonstrates how rich the parable is and how the Middle Eastern context adds to our understanding of the meaning and application of the three main characters of the parable.

    Destroying Your Enemy

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 8, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,905 views

    Obeying Jesus’ command to love our enemies doesn’t come naturally, however. Often our first response is to retaliate. The best way - the Christ-like way - to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend! To melt an enemy, try the warmth of love.

    Opening illustration: There is a story told of two shopkeepers. Their stores were across the street from each other, and the two had a bitter rivalry. One day an angel came to one of the shopkeepers and said, “The Lord has sent me to tell you that you may have one wish. Whatever you ask for, ...read more

    Being a Christian doesn’t mean we’re actually acting like a Christian. At work, at home, in our marriage, with our kids, with the needy – do they perceive us as having Halos or Horns?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 5, 2019
     | 8,203 views

    Paul outlines the 10 characteristics of the "God kind of Love." Christian achievements are worthless without this love and it can only be gained by the indwelling nature of Christ. I utilized an outline by Adrian Rogers.
