Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 1, 2024

Rejoice When Your Character Is Assaulted

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Feb 3, 2024

Know that God is working everything for your good, so know that during times of insult and injury God has a plan for your life.

Down through the ages, the story of Job has been used to provide comfort to people in times of sorrow and sickness. From the story of Job people have interpreted it as if God allowed Satan to afflict Job, therefore He “allows” sorrows, suffering, poverty, and sickness to come upon His children. But ...read more

How To Live By The Spirit's Leading: The Spirit Vs. The Flesh In Galatians 5-6 Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 5, 2024

If you do allow the Holy Spirit to lead your life, then you naturally won’t want to gratify the desires of the flesh. But, if you allow the flesh to lead your life, then you will naturally begin to gratify the desires of the flesh. Live by the Spirit's leading!

I recall an episode of Star Trek Voyager that always hit me very hard. It was called Timeless. The Voyager was a spaceship that had ended up far, far from home, and it was slowly making it’s way back through unknown territory. It reminds me of us, as Christians, lost in the wilds of this fallen ...read more

Being Rich In God - The Parable Of The Rich Fool Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Feb 9, 2024

Jesus really lays it out: You are going to be a person who invests your treasure for yourself, or you will be rich in God by laying up treasure in heaven. But it is objectively impossible for both.

Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org We come now to our second parable in our study of the parables of Jesus. And I chose to make this the 2nd of our study, after our study of the Soils, because they really go hand in hand. In your life, this world ...read more

1 PETER 2:18 Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.

1 PETER 2:18 Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. WHAT??? Does the Bible justify slavery???

The road to Calvary completes Jesus’s destiny, and it’s a road that will fulfill ours as well. Calvary Road is a journey towards our redemption. What we’ll be looking at is not only how Jesus entered on the road for the redemption of our souls, but how we enter on this road as well.

Universal Praise Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Can a pagan glorify the God of the Bible? If he becomes a believer, he certainly can. This invitation of Psa. 117 is authentic when it says whosoever will may come, and praise the God who is the God of all peoples.

If you think Psalm 117 is a short chapter, you are right, for it is the shortest in all the Bible. But it is twice as long in English as it is in the original Hebrew. It is 33 words in English, but only 17 in the Hebrew. And it is another of the many paradoxes of the Bible, for small as it ...read more

Spontaneous Prayer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Spontaneous prayer is much more meaningful and real than planned prayer. Planned prayer is usually locked into formulas, and we repeat the same requests over and over. This kind of prayer gets dull, and it is seen as a duty rather than a joy.

George Buttrick in his large book simply called Prayer tells of why the Acoma Indians in Colorado chose to live on the mesa. The rock gave them safety. The Apaches on the South and the Navajos on the North made them sitting ducks down on the plains, and so they headed for the rocks. A narrow path ...read more

The Timing Of Christmas Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

What we want to see is that though timing may not be everything to Christmas it is plenty, and a focus on the timing of Christmas events can be quite revealing.

Timing may not be everything, but it is plenty. At the dedication service of the Statue of Liberty a boy was to wave a flag indicating that Senator William Evarts had finished his speech. This way the signal for men high in the head of the statue to let go of a giant French flag, which in turn ...read more

Alone, Yet Not Alone Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 25, 2021

The title of my message is a paradox, for to say, alone, yet not alone seems to contradict itself. How can two opposites be true? How can one be alone and yet not alone at the same time?

Bjornsen, the great Norwegian poet, who received the Nobel Prize for literature was once asked what incident in his life gave him the most pleasure. He replied that is was an occasion when his house was attacked and his windows broken. This sounds slightly odd and paradoxical, but before you jump ...read more

The Love Of Money Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

It is plain to see that money is an easy god to love, and the worshipper of it can easily win converts to it. It is likely the most popular of all the religions of the world, even though it is never listed among the world religions.

When a Mr. Blodgett won 25 thousand dollars on a TV program the master of ceremonies asked him what he was going to do with the money. He replied, "It will probably all go to charity." The audience broke into a tremendous round of applause while the band played for he's a jolly good ...read more
