Losing Christ

Contributed by Mike Hamilton on Mar 20, 2003

Just as Jesus’ parents lost him, we too can lose Christ if but only for a short time. That which we lose is that close personal relationship.

“Finding Christ” Luke 2:41-52 (Read Text) “Finding Christ” implies that he has been or can be lost. And I want to make clear what I mean by that. I do not mean that a person can lose the grace of God once they have received it, but what a person can lose, because of their actions, is the ...read more

Come And See

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Mar 21, 2003

There are somethings in life where we simply can’t take the word of someone else, we must Come And See for ourselves. This message can be built upon in a number of ways.

The instruction given by Philip was very wise. There is no need for argument, nor to reason. He simply says Come And See for your self. (A) We Must Come And See Who Christ Is! (1) Many are indifferent to Jesus because they simply don’t know Him. (a) They may have heard of Him, yet do not know ...read more

An Anchor For The Soul Series

Success in the Christian life isn’t all about our effort. While we must make an effort we are not left to do it alone. However, we can have assurance of success without yet realizing the success.

When Heaven Opens

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Mar 1, 2003

I recently saw a sign for a store advertising a grand opening. The store manager boasted of great give-a-ways and all sort of wonderful prizes. However, none of these things compare to what we gain when Heaven opens.

In our text Heaven opened to show Peter a vision from God of our world,both Jews, Gentiles and Samaritans. God also showed Peter that he would have to work among the unbelief, prejudices, and despair of this world. Heaven opened to give Peter a promise of continual divine assistance. (1) Heaven ...read more

Una Palabra Solitaria

Contributed by Alberto Valenzuela on Oct 11, 2006

Está de más decir que Dios espera honestidad de parte de sus hijos. Uno de los mandamientos claramente nos dice: “No hablarás contra tu prójimo falso testimonio” (Éxodo 20:16). Tanto el Antiguo como el Nuevo Testamento están plagados de referencias a la n

Una palabra solitaria De todas las cualidades humanas, quizás sea la honestidad la que más nos llama la atención. De alguna manera, usamos esta característica humana como bandera o como escudo.

Trilogía

A Success Story

Contributed by Alberto Valenzuela on Oct 11, 2006

Society hammers into our brains the idea that success is to be measured with goods. The media claims that he who dies with the most toys wins. And we all want not only the best but the latest toys. We all want to win.

A Success Story All humans, men and women, fall in three categories, in relationship to being successful. Those who are successful, those who aren’t successful and those who are on their way to being successful. If we were to subdivide them even further we could mention those who are on their way ...read more
