    The Eye Of The Needle Principle

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on May 21, 2011
     | 9,411 views

    One of the most difficult teaching (Yet true) teachings of Jesus concerns the "eye of the needle". While this is not a theological exegesis of the text, this message speaks to practical truths found in this text.

    The Principle of “The Eye of the Needle” Luke 18:18-30 * "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." These are the words of Jesus as recorded for 3 of ...read more

    Making The Bible Relevant

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 14, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,349 views

    The Bible is already relevant. Maybe we need to get out of the way and let its power be seen.

    1. There is a lot of talk today about making the bible "relevant." a. The word Relevant means "Logically connected with and important to the matter in hand; appropriate, germane, pertinent." b. There seems to be a precedent in verses like: 15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but ...read more

    God's Not Like Us

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 6,248 views

    I was watching an American Gospel production and it showed a bible opened to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you thought I was altogether like you". Thinking God is like us puts human thinking and reasoning into the mind of God. But God is not like us.

    GOD'S NOT LIKE US I was watching a trailer for an American Gospel production about how the gospel had become watered down in America and how some churches are conforming to please the masses. At one point it cut to a shot of a bible opened up to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you ...read more

     | 3,619 views

    Matthew wrote the Hebrews to understand that Jesus of the Nazareth was the Messiah sent by Yahweh. He developed his Gospel from exclusion to the inclusion of the Gentiles. The confession of Peter is the center of the revelation.

    Theme: Confession of Peter Text: Matthew 16:13-28 Greetings: The Lord is good; His love endures forever. We are meditating under the theme: “Perfect the good work” throughout this Lent season. From this week onwards we are journeying with Christ from Galilee to Jerusalem. Our ultimate station is ...read more

    What is the unforgivable sin? How do we avoid it?

    The Unforgivable Sin: An Exposition of Mark 3:20-35 The fact that Jesus states that there is a sin one can commit which cannot be forgiven in either this life or the next is frightening. What is this sin? Can I commit this sin? The Christians who are terrified that they might have crossed that ...read more

    Leaning On A Rock

     | 4,539 views

    Greetings in the Holy Name of Jesus, My sisters and brothers, who do you, think of when someone says, “She is my rock” or “He is my rock.”? I know you must think of Jesus. The Rock, for it was Jesus, who quenched the thirst of man unto everlasting life.

    LEANING ON A ROCK By Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (August 26, 2018) “And the rains descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” (Matthew 7:25, King James Version [The sermon on the mount]) Greetings in the Holy Name of ...read more

    Paul gives thanks for the church at Thessalonica because they were growing despite persecution. How can we learn to pray from his example?

    From time to time, I enjoy reading prayers parents share that were prayed by their children. Here are just a few prayers of thanks that I have come across. Dear Lord, thank you that we can come to church today and thank you that no one got their head crushed or lost their arm on the way here. Dear ...read more

     | 456 views

    In our cynical world today, it's hard to trust anyone. All the institutions have been shown to be engaged in fraud, lying, and deception. But we can trust the Word of God and the God who gave us that Word.

    Open Tomb, Closed Case Text: John 20:1-29 So we just celebrated the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And like I said last Sunday, it’s the most amazing event in all of human history. So even though we’re going to be back in John’s Gospel this morning, we’re right at the point ...read more

    It is only in Jesus Christ that we are reconciled to God, to each other, to creation, and to truth itself.

    Paul wrote this letter to the church at Colossae because they were in danger of being turned into Gnostics. Now, we aren’t in danger of turning into Gnostics, are we? I mean, how many of you woke up this morning and said to yourself, “you know, this Gnosticism stuff - I think I’d really better look ...read more

     | 891 views

    Human beings are created in the image of God and the question is, ‘How are we representing the Lord as His children?’ Only those who understand their true identity in Christ will be able to reflect Him the way they should.

    We read in Matthew 22:20, He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” (WEB) Jesus asked many questions to people in several situations, and we are meditating on a few of them. The question that we are considering is from the above mentioned verse where Jesus asked “Whose is this image ...read more
