Tonight’s thought is something that has been increasingly becoming somewhat of an obsession for me as a priest. I have been struck with the feeling that there is something coming very soon which we will all be affected with. My personal feelings have been running the gamut of sadness, ...read more

“jesus Came To Overcome Blindness”

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 11, 2013

We heard last week that Jesus says he came so that no one should remain in darkness, and just before that he says that anyone who sees me sees the Father. What does this mean? It means that the truth that is the most imperative for all people, is to believe that Jesus is God in the flesh.

Before The Foundation Of The World

Contributed by Larry Lasiter on Jan 18, 2011

Eve was created solely from Adam - nothing else was added - Eve was not a composite. What was once a part of Adam’s body, without independent consciousness, became an extension of him as another life and together they became one flesh. Since the sai

“So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, ‘This is now bone of my ...read more

Any Other Gospel Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 3, 2011

Without attention and energy, we humans will default back to our flesh pleasing ways even after coming to Jesus. That's where the lie of legalism is so pervasive. Paul begins his battle against legalism by contrasting human achievement with grace.

We humans love to accomplish things. It’s so we can tell whether we are a success or not. This is also true when it comes to pleasing God. “Lord, I prayed and read your Word for an hour today.” “Father, I refrained from clobbering that guy who cut in front of me.” We ...read more

Wake-Up Call

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 1, 2013

Every believer has three enemies - the world system, the flesh, and the Devil. If we don't wake-up, heed and act on Biblical warnings, we will not only be spent but also taken down. God's truth is the best protection against Satan's lies.

Opening illustration: As we moved to our new home in the Middle-East after the government transferred Maureena and me to a previous location in the mountains, we never expected the place to be hiding scorpions which would show up regularly in our bathrooms and poisonous snakes that would appear in ...read more

A Restored Mind

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Mar 2, 2003

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 14, 2004

What Would You Do? Series

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jun 4, 2019

What would you do if Jesus suddenly appeared standing there in the flesh in front of you? What did Jesus' disciples do? What did they think Jesus might do? Jesus appears to bring peace like only he can.

If Jesus were to suddenly, without warning, appear in church this morning, what would you do? What would you say? We would probably begin with a bit of skepticism. “Is this really Jesus, THE Jesus that we’ve heard so much about?” You might wonder if your eyes were deceiving you, if this was ...read more
