The Miracles Of Jesus (Pt 7) Series

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Dec 15, 2025

Today, we are looking at 4 more of the Miracles of Jesus. As we look at these miracles chronologically, it is interesting that 3 of these 4 are found only in one gospel, while one is found in Matthew and Luke.

Our first miracle is found only in Matthew. One pericope or heading is: Miracle Temple Tax in a fishes mouth. There was an occasion years ago, while fishing with my grandfather, Daddy Mac, on Lake Livingston, that he and my stepfather, wagered a small beat on who could catch the total weight of ...read more

Defilement Comes From Within Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 22, 2021

It is not the food you eat or religious observation you practice that enables you to claim that you are right with God. Your attitude, behavior, and response to His commands show whether or not your life is defiled before Him.

Worship is supposed to come from a grateful heart and mind, focused on how God's mercy and grace has taken us off of the road to hell and by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, placed us on the narrow road leading to eternal life. Our submission to Him as Lord and Savior, ...read more

Walls Come Tumblin' Down

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 14, 2009

We run into many walls we cannot seem to get past: estrangement, grief, illness. The way past those walls is described as Sabbath, symbol, silence, and shout.

When you are up against a wall, there will be more than one way to deal with it. There will be the conventional way. And there will be the creative way. When you are up against a wall, there will be a way to break it down that costs a whole lot less than the usual way. All of us remember Mark ...read more

When We Ignore The "signs" Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 24, 2024

He gave them the Mosaic Law as a path toward life and peace. And one of the signs He gave them was the Sabbath. - What exactly does it mean that ...read more

"A Big Sigh Of Relief"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Jul 20, 2010

Religion that focuses only on the details of things you’re allowed or not allowed to touch or eat is dealing with worldly and perishable things. God is much bigger than that!

Colossians 2:6-23 “A Big Sigh of Relief” As Christians, it seems like we are always trying to add more stuff... …rules, regulations, don’t do this, don’t say that… “…you gotta have this, you gotta have that…” But in our Scripture ...read more

Overcoming Gluttony

Contributed by Brien Sims on Jun 19, 2008

Gluttony is more that just eating more than your fill. The true face of the sin of gluttony is that we can desire something more than we desire God.

An unknown predator has entered our lives; one that starts as soon as we are born. Most of us would never recognize it if we saw it because “it” is the norm of the society we live in. We sometimes feel that it is almost a right because we live in such a land of abundance. America has so many ...read more

What’s Your Poison?

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015

Was it the act of eating from the tree that was the BIG problem, or was it the sin of disobedience, doubting God’s character and not trusting His words? The poison was not so much in the fruit but in the heart!

The Devil's Tools

Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on May 2, 2019

It is so important to any believer that we not let the Devil’s tools eat away at us and cause us to go in a direction, down a path, that is far from God.

All too often today I see where people have lost their faith. They either don’t believe at all, have never heard nor understood the word of God or something has happened in their lives to take them away His Word.

The Nature Of Angel Food

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 3, 2014

One step to recovery after any sort of 'burn-out' might be to eat. However, our spiritual 'feeding' is of far deeper significance.

THE NATURE OF ‘ANGEL FOOD’. 1 Kings 19:4-8. An angel awoke Elijah, providing sustenance and instructing him to eat. Elijah ate, and then lay down again. The LORD knew that the onward journey to the mountain of God would otherwise be too much for him, so the angel again fed him. “Elijah was able ...read more
