Living Life Beyond The Now Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Mar 5, 2012

Paul wrote so much to remind and encourage about what it meant to live beyond this life and how we should celebrate that truth that the world cannot understand.

One thing you notice when you study what Paul wrote is that he wrote some much about what we talk so little about. It may be because the people he wrote to faced death on a daily basis. War, persecution, disease and lack of medical advances made death a constant reality. Paul wrote so much to ...read more

Hope

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Dec 28, 2004

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: A number of years ago researchers performed an experiment to see the affect hope has on those undergoing hardship. Two sets of laboratory rats were placed in separate tubs of water. The researchers left one set in the water, and found that within an hour they had all ...read more

The Enigma Of Humanity Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 28, 2006

Humanity is at the same time insignificant and the pinnacle of God’s work of creation

The danger with a series of sermons on the theology of humanity, the danger of thinking about who we are, what we’re here for, what it means to be human, is that it could, very easily, turn into just another exercise in humanism. We could spend our time thinking about all the great things human ...read more
