When One Is Better Than A Crowd

Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Mar 15, 2012

The church is one body and not many and yet unity is often hindered by such "diseases" as pride, self-sufficiency, ignorance and laziness. To "heal" we need first to die to ourselves and surrender to Christ who will change us.

This week I heard devastating news from a friend of mine who will soon be ordained as a pastor. His son was just diagnosed with cancer. This is a young man, 18 years old, graduating from high school in just a few months and having to now face stage three cancer. It’s heart wrenching – ...read more

Make Yourself Heard Above The Crowd

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 24, 2015

Can you imagine a mother hearing her baby cry and just ignoring it? No way! A mother will do whatever she can to find out what her baby wants or needs and tend to that need. Can you imagine God knowing that we have a need and ignoring it? Not a chance!

Good morning boys and girls! How many of you have a little brother or a little sister? How about a puppy or a kitten? How do they get attention when they want something? They whine or cry when they are hungry, thirsty tired or wet. For example, babies don’t care if they are home or in a ...read more

Rev. # 46~13:11-18 The False Prophet Series

Contributed by William D. Brown on Apr 16, 2010

This beast, the false prophet will be actively busy in the work of Satan except he plays a different role, but in character he is one who is beastly, cruel, and hostile to the people of God, he is like a wolf, though dressed in sheep clothing.

We’re here in chapter 13: of the Revelation and today we’ll talk about the false prophet Lord willing. Ø Listen as I read verses 11 11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Contributed by William D. Brown on Mar 11, 2010

God don’t see him as a man, made in the divine image of God, but as a wild animal, under the control of Satan. He is a man but he is energized from hell, for he comes out of the pit, we’re told this two times.

Rev.# 45~13:5-10 THE ANTICHRIST 3-6-10 In chapter 13: as we have already stated the two worst people in all of human history appear on the scene. They are called “beasts.” They are not animals; they are called beasts because of the cruelty of their reign. God don’t see him as a ...read more

The Book Of Mark #10

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

One of the good things about the Gospel of Mark is the way that he gives us a continuous flow of information in the life of Christ. For example:

• In Mark 1:21, we read, “And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.” • After he got through in the synagogue, he left Capernaum to go to Peter’s house and He healed Peter’s mother-in-law and many more. • But as we come to chapter ...read more

Jesus And The Cross In Mark Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on May 15, 2023

Jesus endured the cross, despising the shame (Hebrews 12:2) He surrendered his mortal body according to John 10:18, Just as he said: “No one takes [my life] away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will...” The cross is not a religious symbol but an instrument of death.

Antipas: The Perverse And Putrid Puppet Ruler Of Galilee Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 12, 2021

The story of Herod Antipas is one of treachery, murder, lust, cowardice, deceit, and perversion. He was responsible for the murder of John the Baptist and ridiculed Jesus on the day of His execution. The family of Herod had no redeeming qualities and are examples of unredeemed humanity.

It would make sense to say that the ministry of the Lord Jesus was attracting a great deal of attention and some scrutiny by virtue of His wondrous teachings, His compassion to all who came to Him in faith and trust, the way He handled the criticisms and pettiness of the Pharisees, His ability ...read more

Faithfulness Will Set You Apart From The Crowd

Contributed by Chad Bolfa on Apr 14, 2009

Because the writer of Hebrews starts the Chapter with “Therefore” he is telling us that we might discover what faithfulness looks like in the first two chapters in addition to what he is writing now. So what we have seen so far is open game in discoverin

Do You Think God Is With The Crowd Or With The Remnant?

Contributed by David Leach on Dec 28, 2013
