Grounded In Christ Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jun 9, 2020

Some miss the gate. Some lose their way, by false teaching, counterfeit spirituality, or not putting beliefs into practice. Some are grounded in Christ, and stand firm in the storms of life!

Healthy Disciples: GROUNDED IN CHRIST—Matthew 7:13-27 Read Matthew 7:13-14. This is troubling. We know that many people in the world are not interested in eternal life with Christ as Lord and King, and that troubles us. Jesus implies, however, that many who claim to be Christians might not be ...read more

Christ In You Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Feb 21, 2020

The Christ In A Manger

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Mar 24, 2020

We have heard the story so often that it seems obvious that Christ was born in a manger. But that would have been shocking to the world of that day.

I always enjoy the chance to meet people from different cultures and learn how 2 people from 2 different cultures can look at the same event and see it differently.

Feeding On Christ

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 13, 2019

What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more

Christ And Angels Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Feb 11, 2019

Why did God cite angels with Jesus Christ in the beginning of the Letter to the Hebrews?

Live For Christ.

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Feb 23, 2019

I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16)

There are 2 kinds of lives, the Self-life & the God life. The self-life is when we live to please the flesh, when we live to gain a reputation with human beings, when we seek human approval, when we care so much about what people will say about us, than we do what God will say. The Bible says ...read more
