We Need A Bath! Series

Contributed by Brien Sims on Dec 13, 2007

The second in the series on fellowship in 1 John. These verses describe how Christians are to be cleansed of sins committed after baptism. Most people won’t live in a filthy house but they will let filth clutter their hearts.

If you have ever felt distanced from others, maybe its time you take a bath. Most of us shower every single day because we sweat and work hard. Some work in stinky jobs or in jobs with tons of dirt and dust flying everywhere. Sometimes we just need a bath. How many of you have jumped in a mud ...read more

Bitter Or Better Ends

Contributed by Charles Scott on Dec 16, 2007

It is in the narrow places of life, the places where we are closed in and helpless that we may experience the healing presence of God, often at the bitter or beter end.

BITTER OR BETTER ENDS NUMBERS 22__21—35 LUKE 24:13—16, 28—32 The story found in the Book of Numbers about Balaam and his ass is one of the difficult passages in the Old Testament.

I Am The Door

Contributed by Ben Peak on Jan 3, 2008

Jesus said, “I am the Door.” What does He mean when He calls Himself the Door?

Who is Jesus? There are a lot of ways for us to try and answer that question. We can study the theology books for the great thinkers’ ideas of who He is. We can work out our own ideas within our own minds. Ore we can look to the One who knows Him like nobody else does… Himself. Throughout the ...read more

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? Series

Contributed by Josh Reich on May 19, 2007

Wisdom is something we would all like. In this pivotal passage in James, which is often tied to wisdom, I think is really about the peace of God. And how God’s wisdom leads to his peace.

Life constantly lays choices before us. Many are mundane and ordinary: If we say yes to fish at a restaurant, we also say no to chicken, beef and every other meat. To order one dessert is, in a way, to reject the other desserts. Some are bigger. When you get married, as your vows say, you ...read more

Why Jesus?

Contributed by Dr. Tracy W. Marx on May 31, 2007

Why do Christians emphasize the importance and centrality of Jesus? Why is there no compromise?

INTRODUCTION: It’s been said: Why do you Christians place so much emphasis on Jesus? Why are you so “intolerant”? Why can’t you be more accepting and admit that other religions can also know God? Why can’t you Christians believe that people from other religions can be just as morally good as ...read more

My Soul Looks Back

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 10, 2007
