    Compelled To Testify

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 14, 2023
     | 1,106 views

    The love of Christ should compel us to testify on his behalf before the court of the world.

    Lots of people are testifying these days. We’ve got trials in California and New York and Georgia and Washington D.C. Politicians and government officials and even just ordinary people caught up in things are all either pouring their hearts out or nowhere to be found. Some are practically begging ...read more

    What Do You Know?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 25, 2023
     | 998 views

    It doesn’t matter how much you care if you aren’t teaching your people what they need to know.

    Education is a hot topic around the country this year. It’s no longer about testing and accountability, but about curriculum itself. Although there’s an additional level of complication with the disagreement over why different groups have different outcomes. We no longer know, if we ever did, what ...read more

    Sometimes what looks bad is actually working for our good. Would Hannah have ever prayed thru to receive Samuel if there had not been a Peninnah provoking her?

    IF NOT FOR PENINNAH 1 Sam. 1:1-28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: CREATION DIALOG 1. During the Creation, God visited with one of his angels. He said, “Do you know what I’ve just done? I’ve just created 24 hours of alternating light and darkness on Earth. Isn’t that good?” 2. The angel said, “Yes, ...read more

    The Good Fight

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Oct 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 507 views

    Life on earth is temporary. What we do with the time we have here will depend on where we spend eternity. Paul is pouring out his innermost feelings and advice on how to finish the race well. It is a fight, but a good one.

    Death bed narratives are when people share their innermost feelings at the most vulnerable time of their lives. It is their last words and can be secrets they have held on to for their entire lives or it can be valuable advice or instruction to those whom they love so very much. I am suggesting ...read more

    Head Covering – Custom Or Ordinance?

    Contributed by Tarran Dookie on Jan 5, 2026
     | 50 views

    What does head covering depict? It depicts the submission of the woman to the man even as the man must submit to the headship of Christ. Head covering is about authority. We are not dealing with a mere first century Pauline concept but with the eternal word of God.

    HEAD COVERING – CUSTOM OR ORDINANCE? ( by brother Tarran Dookie) SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITY Gen 6:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto ...read more

    “Kodak Moments” were once advertised by the film giants as memorable moments worthy of capture on film. Peter had a frozen memory in this passage. It is the time when Christ stared at him. The stare of Christ is a stair for climbing to usefulness for Chri

    When we look upon the goodness and wisdom that Christ offers we should desire to be like Him and not just give Him lip service like the Queen of Sheba.

    One way to couteract jealous feelings is to see your life in God’s hands and not yours.

    JEALOUSY (Gen.37:3-11) It starts in a child at an early age and can last a lifetime; it can wreck the love between two people who thought they were inseparable; it can bring nations to war and the most powerful people to ruin. I’m talking about ...read more

    May God grant us the courage and willingness to exalt Christ in life and in death!

    There’s no such thing as a sure thing.” That statement brings out the blatant skepticism inherent to the human nature.
