Discipleship: A Call Of Abandonment And Surrender

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

He gave Himself on the cross so that you would not have to face God’s wrath on account of your sins. Jesus calls you to turn from your selfishness and sin and to follow Him.

Opening illustration: During a NASA space shuttle launch, you will hear the phrase “negative return.” It is a phrase that is part of the abort protocol. It means the shuttle has reached the point and speed at which a return to the launch site is impossible. No astronaut wants to be at “negative ...read more

Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 11

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 3, 2020

John is telling us that we become the “little born ones” of God when our sins have been forgiven. Sins are forgiven when one trusts in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

John is called the “Apostle of Love.” In his first epistle he expresses love for his readers much like parents express love for their children. A young teenage boy had just gotten his driver’s license. When he got home, he asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss the use of the ...read more

What Is The Kingdom Like?

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

Beyond the self-denial of following Christ, beyond the daily discipline, beyond the cross to be carried, lies the most precious thing, a thing of supreme and unsurpassed beauty: life in the Kingdom, under God and for God and with God!

When you open the gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark and Luke, it seems that more often that not, Jesus is speaking in some parable. With colourful language, Jesus places things “side by side,” comparing and contrasting, and drawing out from the picture he paints some truth or teaching. Sometimes the ...read more

A Living Revelation Of Jesus Christ – Part 2 Our King Series

Contributed by Cameron Conway on Nov 13, 2018

To fully see Jesus we must go beyond the images of Him with the disciples, or Jesus on the cross and see Him for who He is today. No longer just a lamb, but a lion, no longer a servant but the King of kings.

5 Reasons Jesus Came To Earth

God’s Ambassadors

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 31, 2019

At the cross, Jesus exchanged his righteousness for our sin. God invited us to give him our sin to be forever erased. And God called us to be his spokespeople, to share this good news with others.

The Challenge Of The Open Doors

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 25, 2023

Let us consider how open doors might be great opportunities to trust God's plan. Do we pray the prison doors open instead of see the opportunity to advance the cross?

THE CHALLENGE OF THE OPEN DOOR OF TRUST… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes) OPEN DOORS CAME IN MANY WAYS! Seems there was a lot of police activity and sirens in the area. This was one of the hottest days of the summer. A lady got out of her car and ...read more

Since I'm Saved By Grace, Can’t I Do Anything I Want? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 22, 2024

Can you think of someone who says they are a Christian but treats obeying God as optional? Many Americans hear about the cross and God’s grace and automatically believe they can do whatever they want.

This morning, I want to answer this question, “What Good Is It to Obey God?” We are focusing on four habits/attitudes that every family should have in this series. Families are so much fun. Teenagers are so much fun! I recently watched a funny compilation by Chip Leighton, a father of two who has ...read more

The Way To Paradise

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Apr 12, 2025

Like the two thieves on the cross we too have an opportunity while we are still alive and here on earth to choose to be with the Lord or ask for some more of the world. These are two very different destinies and either of the choices have eternal consequences. I hope you will choose Jesus!

Journey with me if you will to the Spring of AD 29. The day started early. It was about half past six on Friday morning. The purple robe was ripped off Jesus’ badly beaten body and a crown of thorns was placed on his head. He was clothed again with his own blood-stained, garment and led to ...read more
