Fruitful Frustration Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

I am sure Paul did not like the experience of being thrown in prison, but he did not, in frustration, bang his head on the bars, or go into a vegetative mood of depression. He got out his pen and wrote letters that changed the course of history.

Joel. God Wants To Give His Mercy And Grace, And To Pour Out His Love On All People. Series

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Nov 15, 2025

Nothing like a plague of Biblical proportions to give a nation a bit of a hurry up about returning to God. In Joel's day it was locusts, they had eaten all there was and it was a heads up that; The Day of The Lord was coming. That, and you can't eat what doesn't exist.

Joel. God wants to give his mercy and grace, and to pour out his love on all people. The book of Joel, the third of our minor prophets is a short read. This book of three chapters, is about God confronting and defeating evil. The name Joel while being a short name contains a lot of meaning; ...read more

Let The Spirit Of God Infuse You With Love

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jul 25, 2005

If only we could make the world believe that we loved them, there would be fewer empty churches, and a smaller proportion of our population who never darken a church door. Let love replace duty in our church relations, and the world will soon be evangeliz

Breakfast With Jesus

What’s In A Name?

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 7, 2008

Jesus gave up His Divinity, voluntarily and willingly, in order to become a man. The divine glory was exchanged for human lowliness. He emptied Himself of His DEITY to take upon Himself His HUMANITY. He stripped himself of the insignia of majesty. What wa

A Wedding Feast--Sign Of The New Covenant Of Grace

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 15, 2025

At Cana, both Mary and Jesus knew that if Jesus intervened to fix the problem of the empty wineskins, as He did on her request, doing such a sign reminiscent of the prophets’ predictions about God’s redemptive action would start them both down the road to Calvary.

Second Sunday in Course 2025 Just last Sunday we heard from Isaiah that the Messiah would not cry out or mistreat the wounded. That surely describes Jesus.

No Satisfaction

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025

Solomon’s relentless search for meaning—in wisdom, work, and wealth—ended in emptiness, proving that life “under the sun” cannot satisfy the human heart. Lasting joy and fulfillment come only from God through Jesus Christ, who alone turns life’s vanity into eternal victory.

Coming From Out Of The Middle Of The Pack

Contributed by Joe Rowland on Jun 25, 2009

I believe that most Christians are in the middle of where they can be in God. They don’t want to go too far for fear of what God might expect out of them. I believe that we need to break out from the middle and start heading to the lead of the pack.
