Lost Sheep And Lost Coin

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

This parable is special, because it tells us a great deal about God the Father’s great love for mankind.

Now we mortals love certain people, but if there are things in their life that we do not like, we generally brush them aside. We all can be thankful indeed that God the Father loves everyone, He even loves the most ungodly sinner on the face of the earth. He does not love their evil deeds, but He ...read more

The Book Of Hebrews: Old Testament Meets The New In Christ

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 28, 2021

Many think of Romans when they think about a systematic theology of Christianity. But there is another book that speaks forth systematic theology in my view, the book of Hebrews.

“As the name imports, Systematic Theology has for its object the gathering of all that the Scriptures teach as to what we are to believe and do, and the presenting of all the elements of this teaching in a symmetrical system. The human mind must seek unity in all its knowledge...The method of ...read more

Regaining Our Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

If a church has lost its purpose, then that congregation will be deprived of direction and momentum. Understanding our purpose will enable us to stay on the right path, in order to remain faithful and fruitful in our kingdom efforts.

I wish to begin by sharing a verse from the book of Proverbs. Proverbs 29:18 wisely cautions, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (KJV). The American Standard Version says it like this: “Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.” Vision, or rather purpose, establishes ...read more

The Power Of Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

Attaining the church's purpose is about "keeping the main thing the main thing." People must not only "know" the core values, but they must also "hear" them continually restated so they can envision what they're working towards.

Proverbs states, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Bill Hybels, in his book Courageous Leadership, tells us, “When a leader is casting a vision publicly the goal is to help people know, understand, and remember the ‘main thing’.”(1) Purpose is all about keeping ...read more

The Breastplate Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on May 26, 2021

As Christians, we are engaged in daily spiritual warfare. Heaven has not left us to fend off attacks under our own power, but has provided powerful spiritual resources for Life in the Combat Zone - The Armor of God

June 06, 2020 Last week we came face to face with the reality that we are engaged in spiritual warfare: • Our foe is powerful and all of the forces of evil are arrayed against us in a single-focused effort to destroy us.
