    Desperate Housewives And Their Spouses

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 15, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,621 views

    Successful marriages are built on: 1. Self-giving, rather than self-fulfillment. 2. Building each other up, rather than tearing each other down. 3. Continual growth, rather than taking the relationship for granted.

    Henry David Thoreau, the writer and naturalist, once said, “Most men lead quiet lives of desperation.” If you believe television, most housewives do as well. In the show, Desperate Housewives, Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo , Bree Van De Kamp, Gabrielle Solis and Edie Britt lead us through a ...read more

    Jesus Cleanses The Leper

    Contributed by William Mouser on Feb 19, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 10,549 views

    In healing the leper, Jesus showed his power not only over disease but all that disease represents in this world: the corruption and chaos of sin.

    Psalm 42, 2 Kings 5:1-15, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Mark 1:40-45 Jesus Heals the Leper The miracle of healing which Mark records in today’s gospel lesson might seem, at first, to present a kind of contradiction in Jesus’ own ministry at this point. After Jesus has been mobbed all night long in ...read more

    A Disturbed Family Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,854 views

    The opening scene of the book is tragic for we find three graves in Moab. Let’s notice the story behind these 3 graves.

    Edward Boone said, "The book of Ruth is the history of a Jewish family, who, like the prodigal of Luke fifteen, went into the far country of Moab and there "began to be in want." W.G. Heslop writes, “The book of Ruth consists of less than 100 verses, and yet it would be impossible to exhaust it ...read more

    Too Busy Not To Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 13, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,712 views

    When we think we are too busy to pray, we are succumbing to the issue of control: either we suppose we can manage everything or we want to abdicate. Prayer is the way to find priorities and strength.

    Let me throw some numbers at you. Imagine that you were in charge of an operation that involves, on the average, some ten thousand people a week, almost all of whom come together at one time. Of these ten thousand or so, not all will get there every time, but sometimes many more than that will show ...read more

    Repentance And Refreshing Series

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Oct 28, 2009
     | 6,678 views

    One of the things that traps us in our places of emotional and spiritual and relational lameness is that we get to a point where we cannot really imagine life differently.

    Intro: Last Sunday we began our look at the second section of the book of Acts. The first section, chapters 1-2, told the story of the ascension of Jesus and then the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, filling the believers with the power and indwelling presence of God, and now the next two ...read more

    His Poverty, Our Wealth

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 22, 2009
     | 4,034 views

    Ours are uncertain times, like those into which Jesus came. But God in Christ invested for the long haul and pours Himself into something risky. So therefore can we.

    These are uncertain times. And in uncertain times uncertain people do irrational things, destructive things. People who are drifting, people who have no anchor, people who have no center - in uncertain times, such people do things which destroy. The pages of the calendar are turning toward ...read more

    The Examined Life

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008
     | 4,499 views

    We need to examine our lives to see how they match up to God’s expectations of us.

    I assume you’ve all heard of Socrates, the great Greek philosopher. He was sentenced to death in 399BC because he dared to criticise the immorality of Greek Society. His only defence at his trial was that he was doing Athens a great service by questioning the way they thought. When his friends ...read more

    Memory Strings And Purse Strings

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 21, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,911 views

    We remember what matters to us. God asks us to remember what He has done for us, but our attachment to money competes with that memory. We need to remember what God has done among us and that His mission is for all to experience it. That will loosen ou

    Memory is a very tricky thing. You never know what you will remember and what you will forget. The other day one of my friends told me if he is in a group and he is asked to introduce the members of the group, by the time he gets halfway around the room he is forgetting the names of people he ...read more

    it can be hard to see what something really is, so we have to back up and look at what it really is and what its really trying to say. we have to do that with scripture too.

    Beyond Help? Series

    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,635 views

    When a five times divorcee who now has a live in boyfriend meets Jesus, what do you think will happen? John’s gospel reveals that honest hearts, even those laden with sin, can still hear His call.

    Beyond all Hope? 1 Tim. 1:12-16 records Paul’s confession and testimony of God’s grace in his life. Paul basically says, "If Jesus can save me, he can save anyone!" Have you ever known someone who was beyond help? Here in John 4 Jesus meets a woman whose life is a string of broken ...read more

    December 1989: Jesus is building His kingdom, and some who presume they are included are missing it, while some we think unworthy will be included. This is a day in which we must stretch our outreach to include all persons.

    The folks who are into real estate will tell you that there are only three factors which enter into the value of a piece of property. Those three factors determine how much you should pay for that dream home, how much you should ask when you have decided to sell out and move up, and how loud you ...read more

    Does having the mind of Christ mean being mindless?

    If you are not a Star Trek fan you may be wondering what in the world is up with that title. Star Trek has been used to preach “another gospel” since the original series came on in 1965. Only since I became a Christian in 1975 have I understood the Star Trek message. Before that it was just ...read more
