Bulging Bag – Gaping Worthlessness!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Dec 6, 2012

Some of our lives are like this bulging bag with gaping worthlessness! We need to be disciplined!

Psalm 119:37 “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way.” The bag was bulging and he came to school studiously carrying the bag; not many come to our school with such big bags, though, filled with text books and note books. The eight year old boy ...read more

10,000 Goes

Contributed by Bala Samson on Sep 29, 2013

The ones whose eyes are fixed on the Messiah, would want to come into the House of the Lord, though it means waking up early on Sunday, forgoing your week end bashes with friends and much more!

10,000 goes Luke 20: 35”But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead…” Awash with plethora of distractions, hot temptations around us, it is very difficult to find people consistent in their walk with God. They are all beans one day ...read more

Jesus Came For Everyone

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

Jesus established His church to be open to all who wanted to worship Him. Why does today's not believe this? As a Jewish convert and pastor I have been on the receiving end of Anti-semitism in church.

Jesus’ attitude and language used in the narrative can be shocking to the reader. How can our Lord and Savior treat anyone in the way He is portrayed in this narrative? The pagan woman was looking for her daughter to be cured. Instead of immediately helping her, He calls her a dog, thus insulting ...read more

Turning Whiners Into Winners Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Oct 1, 2002

In this message, we’ll learn how simply building a dream team to rebuild something that’s broken isn’t enough; we must anticipate the trainwrecks that can create whining, foster a losing attitude, and derail the rebuilding project.

I’m going to state the obvious. It’s more fun to win than it is to lose. Winning puts a smile on our faces. But what does it take to win? Quitters never win and winners never quit. Whiners never win and winners never whine. Turning whiners into winners Series: Here’s hope: Rebuilding a ...read more

Guarding Against Deception Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

Once we cast a vision and begin laying hold of the Promised Land, we need to watch out for deceptive people; those who creep into the fold to snatch away our vision, and plunder our hard-earned spoils in an act of spiritual piracy.

Once we cast a vision and begin laying hold of the Promised Land, we need to watch out for dream catchers! Now, when I speak of dream catchers, I am not referring to the round wooden frame resembling a spider’s web, which was handcrafted by the Ojibwa tribe of Native Americans for the purpose of ...read more

Be Cautious About Judging Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

When believers criticize each other, it can actually drive people away from the church. Jesus warned about the consequences of criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement.

This morning we are going to look at the spiritual issue of judging others. The applicable definition for the word “judge” in our main passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often ...read more

When There Is No One To Stand In The Gap Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 18, 2024

God makes a stunning statement here: there is no one left to stand in the gap on behalf of Israel. What does this passage tell us about the specific shortcomings of the people of God and the prophets of God in that day? And can this text encourage us today to stand strong amid a dark hour?

OFF-TRACK: The American church is far from what we should be. - I think this is largely beyond dispute, so I won’t belabor the point. - Let me simply share one proof that I think is instructive. - When you look at the early chapters of Acts, there are many people who are coming to know Jesus. The ...read more
