Saul's Failure Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Apr 3, 2003

Saul’s mistake was that he was more worried about his success than God’s glory. God became for him a means to an end, rather than an end in himself. So this is both warning and a challenge to us. Make sure that God is at the centre of our focus in everyth

On the surface, the story of Saul’s life is one of wars against his enemies, mostly victorious. But that’s just the setting for a much more significant drama that unfolds as his life as king progresses, a drama that involves his relationship with the God of Israel.

The Power Of Music

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

There is power in music and song to lead, to lift, and to express love. Yet we often fail to use this power. We let the discords of life, which are very real and powerful, to drive out the song and harmony, and we become a part of the negatives of life without a song.

But some people are never satisfied, and so one of the leaders persuaded the tribunal to confiscate ...read more

Contributed by Mark Lindsey on Aug 29, 2022

Often, we, like the Corinthian believers, fail to remember the abundant grace which has been given to us through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We look more like the culture around us than the nature of Christ within us.

Your salvation has three stages: past, present, and future. The theological terms are justification, sanctification, and glorification. The moment you ...read more

Embracing Life Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 20, 2003
