Romans Chapter 3 Verses 9-13 - Messages In Romans – As It Were; Stinking Sour Milk And Putrid Rotting Fruit - Message 9 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 14, 2023

Good Shepherding

Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Dec 8, 2001

How can we call Jesus the "good shepherd" when there is so much tragedy? From the Sunday after the Columbine shootings. Deals with the problem of evil.

"I am the good shepherd..." The very fact that Jesus chooses to describe himself as such suggests that there were other less-than-good shepherds operating in the neighborhood. There were people who cared more for themselves than the sheep and were less than considerate-perhaps even brutal at ...read more

Antichrist

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 13, 2001

Who, according to Scripture, is the antichrist? Instead of being a coming evil dictator, the Bible says the Antichrist was and is anyone who denies the incarnation and humanity of Christ Jesus!

Many, today, teach that we are to expect the appearance of an individual, the embodiment of evil, who will rule the world and be the ultimate persecutor of the true Christian Faith and those who continue to adhere to it. They identify this person as the coming ’Antichrist’. The trouble with this ...read more

Have You Ever Noticed How Criticism Can Be A Way Of Life?

Contributed by Dr. George Calhoun on Oct 30, 2008

In a culture where the lines of right and wrong, good and evil have become blurred, how and who determines what is the standard for what is true and what is false?

Have you ever noticed how criticism can be a way of life? In fact, we might say that it is the democratic way of life and an integral part of our society.

Demonic Wisdom Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 23, 2008

When The Walls Come Tumblin' Down

Contributed by Deborah Westbrook on Mar 13, 2009

Jesus anger wasn’t about selling things; it was about the evil vendors preying upon the innocent. When barriers go up relationship is broken.
