    We are the body of Christ but what makes us a healthy body?

    The Church, The Body of Christ The Church. The Church. When I say church, what do you think of? A little white clapboard building with a steeple and a bell, or perhaps the Crystal Cathedral in California. Maybe you don’t think of a building instead you think of people, perhaps your ...read more

     | 12,917 views

    This poor man was weighed down by two great evils-blindness and poverty. It’s sad enough to be blind, but if a blind man is wealthy, there are thousands of things that he could buy to make himself comfortable and to cheer him up. But to be both blind an

    Arrogance, the one vice that should be least present in the Christian life, is perhaps one of the most pervasive.

    Introduction Arrogance, the one vice that should be least present in the Christian life, is perhaps one of the most pervasive. The reason is simple enough. We possess truth. Possessing God’s Word, we have cornered the market on spiritual truth. It is not a big step to make to become ...read more

    Satisfying reality is not to be found in things or thrills, but in a Person--Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. This life is what his readers must grasp if they too would have real life. For our faith is not just a "story." It’s based on real eve

    There a vast number of "religious" people who don't go to church. How do we witness to them like Peter and Paul might have?

     | 11,402 views

    Mary loved Jesus and was willing to pour herself out for Him. She was willing to pour the most valuable possession she had and poured it out on Jesus. Worship is pouring yourself out. It is laying down your life in honor of One who is greater than you.

    God wants us to grow. Like plants, if we actually want to grow, we’ve got to be pruned. God’s discipline is always loving. Accepting it is the key to becoming who God means us to be.

    It’s alarming to think of the numbers of people who don’t crack the cover of their Bibles from Sunday to Sunday. Some don’t even generate enough energy to pick it out of the pew and follow the reading, because the sense of its contents holds no interest a

    The Shunammite Woman in our text today will demonstrate the value of woman’s character when death wields its sword against the family.

    Parable Of The Sower Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 1, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,572 views

    In the parable of the sower, we see what could be called a Kingdom-of-Heaven condition; that is, it exhibits God’s present ruler-ship over the entire earth as He calls out a people to His name.

    Parable of the Sower The Gospel of Matthew is probably the key Gospel to the Bible, and chapter 13 is the key to this Gospel; therefore this chapter is very important. It provides us with a better understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven than any other passage. Here, Jesus for the first time ...read more
