Looking For Comfort

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 31, 2023

I got a recording of the Messiah for my 20th birthday. That was the summer after I dropped out of my first college; I was living at home getting ready to go to my second one and trying to make some kind of sense out of my life.

Let There Be Space ... Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jan 9, 2023

Alpha and Omega, Part 2 “Let there be space …” Genesis 1:6-8 Introduction - We’ve begun the year with “one purpose”: Knowing there is a God! -- Just as a building requires a builder, a creation must have a Creator - There is an irrational logic trying to prove something happened from ...read more

Father's Importance

What's All The Hoopla?

Contributed by Phillip Weaver on Apr 9, 2006

Everybody loves a parade, right? One of the most significant parades in history took place without big bands, clowns on motorbikes, or magnificent floats. In fact, this parade really only had one registered entry - a man riding on the colt of a donkey.

As a nation, we love to throw a party, don’t we? We don’t need much of an excuse to raise a little ruckus now, do we? There are a lot of ways in which we do that, too.

The Law Versus The Promise Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on May 6, 2005

Let’s avoid the mistakes the Judaizers made and focus our thoughts on Paul’s history lesson in Galatians 3:15-22. We will observe the solid, historical fact of justification by faith alone in contrast to the perilous fiction of justification by works.

Is God Worth Your Best

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 1, 2004

Let me ask you a question: How much is your God worth? Is He worth your first, your best, or only your castoffs? If you are giving Him only your castoffs, then you do in fact despise Him.

His Resurrection Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 30, 2003
