    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 14, 2013
     | 5,749 views

    A look at how we should respond when an uncomfortable word of rebuke comes our way.

    [Drama idea: Frame as a cheesy commercial. Three people on a pew, two getting convicted and visibly uncomfortable (squirming, facial agitation), one blithe and unconcerned. After a while, the other two ask him how he’s not bothered. He shows off his steel-toed boots. He got the ...read more

    Now, why did Jesus choose Judas to be one of His disciples? Was He such a bad judge of character? Was it a mistake? Of course, Jesus knew from the beginning what would happen. Link inc. to formatted text, audio, PowerPoint.

    He-Devil John 6:66-71 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/HeDevil.html It's not hard to think of someone named after a disciple. Andrew, Peter, Philip, John, James...Judas? No, that name conjures up negative imagery in our minds. Betrayer - traitor - evil - liar - hypocrite - greedy - devil. It was ...read more

    Stephen is the embodiment of godliness. Let us be humble enough to serve. Put the needs of others before self. Stay faithful to God no matter what.

    There was a need in the church. With the growing number and increasing needs, one aspect of the ministry was neglected. • In the daily distribution of food, some widows were being overlooked. • They needed some people to oversee the “daily distribution of food” (6:1) ...read more

    Are you honoring your mother only today by a tiny token or am I honoring her by a lifestyle that warms her heart and provokes thanks to God rather than tears before Him

    It is called Mother’s Day, not wife’s or wives’ day for the simple reason that it is the day children honor their mothers, not husbands honoring wives or fathers honoring mothers. It is a day when children reexamine what mothers mean to them. It is a day when children reexamine their relationships ...read more

    Sharing God's Sure Promises

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Jan 27, 2013
     | 4,074 views

    Eternal God, Creator of the universe, Who is beyond our knowing, has made Himself known to us, most especially in the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ. The Word of God should be reverently handled, and we should share the message it contains.

    There’s an immense universe out there: earth, moon, sun, solar system, galaxy, all the cosmos. And it all began with a Big Bang about 13.772 billion years ago, give or take 59 million years. That is scientifically observable, determinable, objective and quantifiable, insofar we can know ...read more

    Understanding how quickly life goes by and how long eternity is should teaches us to have the right priorities. Getting to know God in a personal way should be our greatest priority in life.

    FIRST THINGS FIRST [NEW YEAR] MATTHEW 6:33 [25-34] Jesus presented evidence that worry is irreverent, for it fails to believe that God is in control, that the God who gave us life is sustaining it. Worry is irrelevant because it does not change things nor help us cope with problems. And worry ...read more

    The Lord will come again, and it is given to us to diligently work at our ministries as if these were the final moments

    Many dates have been proposed for the end of the world. Recently: May 21, 2011, October 21, 2011, and December 21, 2012. What do they have in common? It’s not the number 21. None of them are correct. You’d be more accurate saying, “Today is the end of the world,” every day ...read more

    There are severe forms of persecution, and less severe; but there is no such thing as a non-persecuted Christian!

    Introduction Jesus promised his disciples the night before he was crucified that their lot was to be no different than His. Jesus said: “No servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also!” Persecution Is on the Rise The Pew Research ...read more

    Why Small Groups? It's About Accountability

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 20, 2012
     | 4,030 views

    Everyone has a boss. Everyone has someone they answer to at work. Even the boss has a boss. The folks who can claim that they don’t have a boss are those who own the company, but, even then, owners have to answer for regulations, taxes, and payroll. E

    “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. ...read more

    Polluted Sacrifices

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Nov 28, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,197 views

    God accused the Israelite priests of sinning in two ways... treating the sacrifice with contempt and teaching the people to do the same. We, as a Priesthood of Believers, have the same job as the priests and perhaps are guilty of the same failures.

    POLLUTED SACRIFICES MALACHI 1:6-14 INTRODUCTION: Every year Americans leave in their wake 20 million tons of paper 26 billion bottles and 3 million gallons of water In our scripture for today, the prophet, Malachi was also talking about pollution because the effects of pollution had hit ...read more
