The Owner And His Managers

Contributed by Michael Trask on Jan 18, 2007

God is the owner of all things, we are his managers. Knowing this is not only a great comfort, but also a challenge.

What do we mean when we say that we own something? We mean that it is in our possession; that we have bought and paid for it; that it is ours to keep and ours to do with as we please; we are the owners; it belongs to us. We know what it means to own something. Of course, there’s ...read more

Determined To Disbelieve Series

Contributed by John Gaines on Jan 30, 2006

DETERMINED TO DISBELIEVE 1. Matthew 9:2-8 (NKJV) Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you." 3 And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, "This Man ...read more

Considering Consequences Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Sep 27, 2012
