Pleasing And Acceptable

Contributed by David Paulson on Jul 20, 2017

I'm trying to answer two questions - What went wrong with Balaam's sacrifice? How can we avoid it?

The Wicked Generation

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 15, 2022

John the Baptizer wasted no time in telling Herod that it was wrong for him to have his brother Phillip’s wife saying that it was not lawful. John went to prison for being the prophet God called him to be and not the puppet that Herod wanted him to be.

THE WICKED GENERATION Text: Matthew 11:1 – 19, 25- 30 N. T. Wright once said that “… wicked people don’t like a message of judgment because they think the message is aimed at them, (and rightly so) while good people don’t like a message of mercy because they think (wrongly) that ...read more

Humans are complex beings. We have many different aspects, such as the physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, or emotional aspects. Because of sin, we experience negative feelings that, if left unmanaged, can bother us, disturb our daily activities, and eventually destroy our lives

Prayer is a great privilege that our Heavenly Father gives to us.

THE PRIVILEGE OF PRAYER Prayer engages God, enables God's people, and enlarges His kingdom. Jesus said, "without Me, you can do nothing." Once we have prayed we are ready to do anything, until we have prayed we can do nothing, but once we have prayed we can accomplish anything. 1. ...read more

Who Is This Guy, Anyway?

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Jun 8, 2003

A different twist on the scripture where Peter declares that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Who did His Workers, the world and the word say He was? Who do WE say He was?

But the same question was asked about him at least 7 times in the Gospels. The question that we want to explore today is this: Who do we say ...read more
