    Contributed by Richard Papafio on Apr 22, 2019
     | 2,783 views

    Whatever you eat or don't eat, drink or don't drink is not a standard for others to go by in the Kingdom of God. Don't let your meat and drink lead others away from Jesus. Let your life draw many unto Jesus always

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. Topic: *DON'T LEAD THEM AWAY FROM JESUS* Romans 14:13-19 King James Version (KJV) 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's ...read more

    BIG IDEA: Walking with God means walking His way, for His pleasure, by His power.

    “Walking With God in Wisdom” James 3:13—4:10 INTRODUCTION: One theme that runs throughout the Star Wars movies is the temptation to give in to the Dark Side of the Force. The Dark Side is seductive, for it appeals to our desires. The Good Side involves self-denial, discipline, sacrifice. The ...read more

    God’s promises to come to our aid when we are in trouble.

    The day I purchased my new truck the key fell out of my pocket onto the front seat and I locked it inside. So I called the 1-800 Roadside Assistance number I found in the phone book. They sent someone right away, even though it was after normal business hours. I was impressed. Made me think of ...read more

    God's Eye View

    Tough love or tender love. The disciples toiling in rowing, and Jesus unusual response. (He would have passed them by.) When we get close to God we will have sympathy for others, we can also gain insight into the best way to help them.

    God's Eye View Intro: In many video games there is something called, "God's Eye View." What they mean by that is seeing things from a much better perspective and vantage point. For example, if we had a battle scene, there is the perspective of the individual soldier facing enemies that his limited ...read more

    Friend, getting near to Him means getting close to His Word! You cannot ignore the Bible and say that you love Jesus! Do you hear me?

    Nearer and dearer! Genesis 21:22”At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, "God is with you in all that you do.” The nearer and dearer you get to God, the lesser would you fear your enemies! Hallelujah! Abraham shed his previous fear and spoke ...read more

    "God's Family....better Together" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jun 20, 2017
     | 11,594 views

    If we trace God’s hand back to the book of Genesis and follow it through the OT we see God as the creator of two institutions. (1) The family and (2) the church. And we quickly realize that the two are very closely related.

    FAMILY MATTERS “God’s Family….Better Together” Acts 2:42-47 “I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God, I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by his blood, joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this side; I’m a part of the family, the family of God.” Have you heard that before?

     | 5,609 views

    Our love of God, if deep and true, must needs exclude--and therefore hate--all things that draw us away

    “Love, love, love, love. Christian hear this is your call. Love your neighbor as yourself, for God loves us all.” Christians hear a lot about love. Today’s New Testament and Gospel readings are the standard texts on love, maybe throw in John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 13, and ...read more

    A simple message to encourage us to keep drawing nearer to God by deepening our personal, loving and intimate relationship with Him.

    WHEN IT COMES TO STUDYING THE BIBLE, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW MIND-TWISTING CONCEPTS, STATEMENTS, AND WORDS SUCH AS "PROPITIATION," "BLOOD," AND "JUSTIFICATION." IF YOU THINK THOSE ARE RELATIVELY TAME, THEN TRY TO FULLY COMPREHEND THE BOOK OF REVELATION. BUT, SERIOUSLY, DESPITE THESE THINGS, I FEEL ...read more
