    In the passage that we just read, the word ’blessed’ appears three times. It refers to the woman carrying the child, the child, and the one that believes God.

    ONe chrch appears alive but is dead, one feels as good as dead but there’s still ife there if only they’ll persevere.

    Today we read about two churches with a significant contrast of characteristics. One thinks it’s alive but is dead, the other feels as good as dead but is alive. Sardis was a sophisticated city and perhaps that was the reason that persecution against Christians wasn’t such a problem as it was ...read more

    At first glance it would appear that Paul is restricting himself as to what he would preach to the church in Corinth, but a closer look shows otherwise.

    STEADFAST DETERMINATION “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2 NKJV At first glance it would appear that Paul is restricting himself as to what he would preach to the church in Corinth, but a closer look shows otherwise.

    The blooms of the fig tree always appear before the leaves in spring. When Jesus saw leaves on a fig tree, he expected the fruit.

    Let me begin by saying something about Jesus cursing the fig tree. You will also find this story in Matthew 21: 18 and 19. This tree was a fruit-producing plant which could be either a tall tree or a low-spreading shrub. The size of the tree depended on its location and soil. The fruit of the ...read more

  • Are You Listening

     | 3,284 views

    Is your life running so fast that you cannot hear God? His angels appeared to announce the birth of Christ but who was "listening?"

    Are You Listening? The Christmas Season is closing in. We have do lists, shopping lists, and invitations to parties, as well as church and school Christmas presentations. It seems that when we need the most to slow down to appreciate the season, we are too busy to do so. In fact, I sometimes ...read more

     | 6,425 views

    Jesus appeared on the beach as an intervention to keep the disciples from missing out on Pentecost and going off-the-track of ministering to the entire world.

    This is going to seem like a strange question, but how many of you have heard of “The Amazing Randi?” He was a stage magician, “mentalist,” and escape artist (in the tradition of Houdini). He once escaped from a block of ice and once escaped from a straitjacket while hanging upside-down over ...read more

    It would appear that Jesus never asked this question of anyone else in the Gospels. Didn’t He know what these blind men needed?

    OPEN: A man walks into a dentist’s office and says, "Excuse me, can you help me. I think I’m a moth." The dentist replied "You don’t need a dentist. You need a psychiatrist. His office is just down the hall" "Yes, I know." Says the man. "So, why did you come in here?" asked the ...read more

  • Mocking Jesus Of Nazareth

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 7, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,224 views

    To the world, Christ and His people appear weak. So the world mocks Him. However, in His weakness, He exhibits His strength.

    “The men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, ‘Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?’ And they said many other things against him, blaspheming him.” Perhaps you imagine that the soldiers who beat Jesus and mocked Him ...read more

    The cross should serve as a lesson that it is precisely at times when we or the church appear powerless that God’s power is most at work.

    Introduction We come back to the cross. The King, our champion, hangs on the cross for our salvation and continues to endure the mockery of his persecutors. They mock him as a fraudulent king; keeping up the sport they now ridicule him for his lack of power. The man who supposedly possessed ...read more

  • Fighting Temptation (The Impala Christian)

    Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on May 18, 2016
     | 3,604 views

    Fighting temptation is foolish. The Bible does not enjoin any to resist temptation but the devil while we abstain from every appearance of evil.

    Sometimes in the month, I saw a documentary involving the animals, jackal and impala. Jackal with an average weight of 10kg is a carnivore belonging to the same family as wolf and dog while impala is an African antelope having two long horns and an average weight of 60kg. Both of them live in the ...read more
