    Balancing The Books

    Contributed by John Hamby on Apr 2, 2019
     | 7,746 views

    Where is God’s justice and judgement? Why does God delay His judgment? Why doesn’t He vindicate His people now? Is He unable to, or does He not care? Some had seized on the ‘delay’ in the appearance of God’s judgment as an excuse to ignore or reject the idea of God’s judgment.

    Dodging Decisions Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 21, 2021
     | 1,755 views

    What is often passed off as indecisiveness or propriety or procrastination is a dishonest attempt to keep from honoring what is right and fair. We can see Felix’s motives as an example. We can also see how God can use such red tape.

    Dodging Decisions (Acts 24:1-27) 1. So today we honor our graduates, and we honor our fathers. 2. I will honor our graduates with a joke: Why did Mary want to work at a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet even though she'd received her B.A. degree? Because it had been on her bucket list for a long ...read more

    We long for revival, but revival seems to be delayed. Contemporary Christians must "break up the fallow ground" if we will ever experience revival.

    “From the days of Gibeah, you have sinned, O Israel; there they have continued. Shall not the war against the unjust overtake them in Gibeah? When I please, I will discipline them, and nations shall be gathered against them when they are bound up for their double iniquity. “Ephraim was a ...read more

    Wisdom and the Quality of Your Life (Proverbs 27:19-26) 1. Some people are amazingly shrewd. Take this joke: 2.

    The story of Jairus teaches us that when we face grief, we never should never lose sight of the fact that Jesus gives hope whenever there is death.

     | 7,557 views

    Peter's confession that Jesus is the Son of God leads to the consideration of who we might say Christ is to us when He is either silent, seemingly late, or tells us "No."

    Jesus, Son of God (Who Do YOU Say that I Am?) Matthew 16:13-17 INTRODUCTION: Have you ever talked to someone who thinks Jesus was a great teacher and a good man, but nothing more?

     | 9,246 views

    From the day we are born we begin to die. It’s as if our bodies are already dressed in grave clothes. As marvelous as science is, it has not yet mastered life’s greatest enemy, death. Yet there is one who has.
