    based on 17 ratings
     | 12,336 views

    Jesus is not impressed with an outward show of self-righteousness, but with an inner heart of dependence upon Him, which he found among the Gentile "dogs."

    I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles; ...read more

  • Dumb Dogs Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 14, 2013
     | 8,113 views

    Jesus is not impressed with the outward trappings of self-righteousness. He is impressed with a heart full of simple faith, which we find most often in the hearts of those we least expect. So like Jesus feed the "dogs" and touch the "dumb."

    Dumb Dogs (Mark 7:24-37) I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. "If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring ...read more

  • Jesus Gives Life To The Dying

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 14, 2021
     | 3,410 views

    Jesus doesn’t give every answer, and He sometimes sends us on ahead without any certainty that things are going to change. He doesn’t give a sign that will ease every doubt about our future, or worries about our family, or whatever else. Yet we can be confident in all that He has said.

    How much power do your words have? I mean, if you gave an order or a command, would your words carry any weight? Maybe they would, if you’re a mom and you asked your son to empty the dishwasher, or if you’re in charge at the office and you told your secretary to draft a letter. You speak, and it ...read more

    Contributed by David Scudder on Sep 6, 2011
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,723 views

    Is it wrong to buy a lottery ticket? Is the Bible against playing bingo? What if the money goes to the church? Is betting on the horses, or on sports wrong? There are no verses in the Bible that say, “Thou shalt not gamble” so does that mean that gambling

    Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. (NAU) Purpose: To show that gambling is contrary to God's will. Aim: I want the listener to hate the sin of ...read more

     | 5,255 views

    Just as Abraham was an instrument of blessing to the world, you are to be instruments of blessing to the world. Just as Abraham taught His children God’s righteous ways, you are to teach our children God’s righteous ways.

  • The Suffering In His Ministry Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 10, 2018
     | 7,573 views

    God had entrusted to Paul and his fellow evangelists this treasure of great worth—the gospel of Christ—but why would He do this? Because He delights in empowering the weak in order to confound the strong.

    May 15, 2014 Tom Lowe The Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians Lesson II.B.4: The Suffering in His Ministry. (4:7-12) 2nd Corinthians 4:7-12 (NKJV) 7 But we have this treasure in earthen ...read more

  • According To Your Faith

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 4, 2025
     | 221 views

    Jesus moves not according to our need, but according to our trust. True faith surrenders, saying “Yes, Lord,” and receives transforming grace.

    There are moments in the ministry of Jesus when His words fall like a key into the lock of the human heart—turning something, opening something, revealing something that changes everything about how we relate to Him. Matthew 9 contains one of those moments. It is only a sentence, only a breath, yet ...read more

    Contributed by Karl Eckhoff on Feb 12, 2004
    based on 30 ratings
     | 7,032 views

    While the text is about the gift of tongues, Paul greater concern is how all the gifts of the Spirit are being used for personal gain with little thought of others. Paul would encourage the building up of the body of Christ instead.

    Loving God and loving others is hard work. However, hard it is at times, it is still the way that God has created us to live. We’ll look at what this Labor of Love is and what it is not.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,089 views

    When you look into a mirror what do you see? How do you see yourself? How do you see yourself in relation to God and eternity? Having a right view of who and what we are is essential to a right relationship with God.

    “How Do You See Yourself?” Luke 18:10-13 When you look into a mirror what do you see? How do you see yourself? Few of us look in the mirror and come to the conclusion of Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath. During his heyday as a player, Namath wrote a book titled I Can’t Wait ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,527 views

    "When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" We talk about our disappointment with God, but is God ever puzzled by our lack of faith?

    The parable of the widow and the unjust judge relates to our disappointment with God. Like the mistreated widow, we often wonder why God allows so much pain and injustice to go on. We pray and pray and yet no answer comes. The righteous perish and the wicked flourish. Sometimes we even wonder, ...read more
