    "His Temple” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 14, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,321 views

    Paul tells us how God views His church as being His temple and how this should serve to unify us.

    "To dwell above with saints we love, O that will sure be glory. But to dwell below with saints we know, We; that’s a different story!” Sad to say, the fellowship of too many churches can be described by that little jingle. But while that may be so, it is not what God desires, nor is it what needs ...read more

    Jesus' Midrash: Materialism And God's Provision

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 26, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,719 views

    From God’s provision during Israel’s 40 year wilderness wandering experience, the Jews in Moses’ time could learn some valuable lessons, the Jews in Jesus’ time could learn some valuable lessons, and so can Christians of all times.

    Jesus’ Midrash: Materialism and God’s Provision (Deuteronomy 8:3-18, Matthew 6:24-34) 1. "In contradistinction to literal interpretation, subsequently called "peshaṭ" (comp. Geiger’s "Wiss. Zeit. Jüd. Theol." v. 244), the term "midrash" designates an exegesis which, going more deeply than ...read more

    Race For The Prize

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 28, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,109 views

    Winning a race requires purpose and discipline. As Christians, we are running toward our heavenly reward. Don’t merely observe from the grandstand; don’t just turn out to jog a couple of laps each morning. Train diligently – your spiritual progress depend

    Opening illustration: We can become distracted and look away from the goal of becoming like Christ. If you saw the movie Chariots of Fire, then maybe you remember the great runner Abraham. He had won so many races. His coach held up such discipline. But he finally lost one of the races because he ...read more

    The Tragedy Of Trash Talk Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 3, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,731 views

    The real tragedy of talking trash is that it hurts people and damages our relationship with God. How we treat (speak of) others not only affects them, but it affects our own closeness with God.

    The Tragedy of Trash Talk James 4:11-12 11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the ...read more

    Longing For The Likeness Of The Lord

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Aug 9, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,064 views

    Paul had a great longing to be like his Lord. We as modern-day Christians should have that same consuming desire to be like Jesus.

    LONGING FOR THE LIKENESS OF THE LORD Text: Ps.17: 15; Phil.3: 8, 9 Intro: Webster’s Dictionary defines the word “longing” as a “strong desire; yearning.” It almost goes without saying that everyone has strong desires of one sort or another. And the list of things for which people desire is ...read more

    James tells us why we should be patient in the face of injustice.
