    based on 18 ratings
     | 20,204 views

    Then there are those who have a genuine desire to live a life that is pleasing to God but become discouraged when they aren’t where they want to be. I want you to see God’s call for us to be holy, the obstacles to being holy, and the path of holiness.

    The Struggle to Be Holy Romans 7:14-25 Living the Christian life involves facing both conflict and struggle. You cannot live the Christian life without being confronted with such. Because of these struggles, there are those who would say that it’s impossible to live the Christian life and ...read more

    Miracle In The Desert

    Contributed by Steven Ferber on May 8, 2012

     | 10,473 views

    The Ethiopian Eunuch's conversion shows us that God works through the Holy Spirit, the Word, and through His people who willingly step out in faith. God can do great things through His children who are led by the Spirit!

    Some of us remember the movie Raiders Of The Lost Ark from 1981, where Indiana Jones discovers the Ark of the Covenant, the 4-foot long container holding the two tablets of the 10 commandments that God gave Moses on Mt. Sinai. Jones takes the Ark back to America, and at the end of the movie you ...read more

    Women Of God, Servants Of God Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on May 10, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,356 views

    Women, contrary to popular belief, hold a place of high regard with God. This is evidenced by the way God, Jesus, and even the "male chauvanist," Paul treats them.

    1. Part of a daily Jewish Prayer (by men): "Blessed are you, LORD our God, King of the Universe, for not having made me a Gentile." "Blessed are you, LORD our God, King of the Universe, for not having made me a slave." “Blessed are you, LORD our God, King of the Universe, for not having made ...read more

    Parental Discipline Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on May 11, 2012
    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,568 views

    The end result of all discipline's good benefits is children that have the learned ability to control themselves. A loving parent inflicts temporary discomfort on his children to spare them the long range disaster of an undisciplined life.

    PROVERBS 13:24 PARENTAL DISCIPLINE / INSTRUCTION [Hebrews 12:6-11] Affection is not enough. Love must also discipline. Good Christians or even good citizens cannot be produced in homes where children have good reason not to respect their own parents. Permissive homes (those where effective ...read more

    The Gender Issue

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jun 5, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,716 views

    What a paradox: in the eyes of God we are neither male nor female, but Paul gave gender specific instructions to Timothy.

    Bible – The Gender Issue We need to address a very serious issue in today’s church. Regardless of what the liberals, intellectuals, emergent and other people say, gender is relevant in the bible. The bible refers to God and the Holy Spirit as a male and thus we too should refer to ...read more

    Marriage And The Jesus Follower - Perfecting Intimacy Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 3,252 views

    Desiring God leads to raised awareness of who He is and a raised awareness of who God is leads to reshaped priorities that fit His, and reshaped priorities that fit His condition us to recognize that God is enough and when we recognize God is enough we become completely dependent on Him.

    Hebrews 13:4 "Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery." Our goal as followers including those of us who are married is to remain faithful. We started the series on Marriage and the Jesus ...read more

    Whoa! Man Of The Night: A Dialogue Between Jesus And Nicodemus

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 2, 2013
     | 5,360 views

    Being born again is a far more demanding matter than a casual acceptance of Jesus Christ. The true Christian follows Him, bearing his/her cross.

    Whoa! Man of the Night John 3:1-21 Rev. Mark A. Barber Most of us have heard the story of Nicodemus before and can quote John 3:16 from memory. We have heard about being born again. So we think we already know the story. Nicodemus came to Jesus that night thinking he knew the rules of how one ...read more

    The Greatest

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,107 views

    The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

    Opening illustration: If God was taking resumes, what would you put on yours? In other words, what makes a good Christian? What would really impress them when you arrive in heaven? Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more
