     | 1,376 views

    Everybody wants something from us. We hurry through life but then run out of time and energy. Where are our priorities and values?

    Yes I’m just like you when I hear a word and a promise that makes me think of revival. Wouldn’t that be nice, revival would solve everything! Thing is, God already sent the power of revival! Revival has a name and it’s Jesus!

    Who has ever wore a new piece of clothing? And when noticed, and someone ask if your outfit was new, the reply you gave was “this whole thing!” Because really, you say you didn’t want to be noticed, but yet you really did and you love the fact, that you were noticed! How’s come, whenever we get ...read more

    How Can We Stand In The Gap?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 27, 2023
     | 1,808 views

    What is it to stand in the gap for someone else? Is it to stand in the place for another?

    In Chapter 22, we learn why judgment would be placed on Jerusalem (22:2-16), how it would approach them (22:17-22), and who would be affected by it (22:23-31). The Jewish leaders were particularly liable for the ethical environment of the country since God had picked them to lead. Those actions and ...read more

    Romans 10 has three-fold moves in the chapter. Paul critiques legalistic righteousness, speaks to genuine righteousness residing in the soul, and points to visionary faith that comes through inspiring words. Paul says those who share the Good News have beautiful, pure feet.

    Have We Become The Church Of Casual Christianity?

     | 1,216 views

    A cold church is a dead church, but a hot church is alive. Flies do not land on a hot stove.

    What does it mean to be a Church of Casual Christianity? How does a church become casual? Is it speaking of the church building or the church body? Or does it refer to the church members, the individual Christians? Look at the churches depicted in Revelation chapters two and three. • Ephesus ...read more

    Do We Have A Case Of Heartburn?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 12, 2023
     | 1,608 views

    This is the story of the two men that were going back to Emmaus and what happened to them on their journey. They almost missed something because they were centered around their own personal issues.

    In verses 13-16: The two men walking toward Emmaus were so caught up in themselves and their own problems that they did not see Jesus or even recognize Him. Undoubtedly, they had heard His preaching, the various parables, and what He was teaching about Himself. It was as if they were not looking ...read more

    Who Is A Whosoever?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 23, 2023
     | 1,125 views

    Whosoever is a formal term for "whoever." That means anyone, you, me, the next-door neighbor, some person living in the desert, on an island far from any major continent. Anyone who is listening to and hearing God's Word.

    In verses 1-5: When we become a Christian, we become part of God’s family, with other believers as our spiritual siblings, brothers, and sisters. God ascertains who the other relatives are, not us. We are basically called to acknowledge and adore them. We know that if we love God and keep His ...read more
