Jesus: The Great Joy-Giver Series

Contributed by Mike Cleveland on Jan 9, 2008

Before we believe in Jesus, we are like the water jars: empty, stony hard hearts, sitting off to the side doing nothing. But Jesus is able to fill us, fill us to the brim, and transform us and then use us to bring joy to others. Believe it. Don’t think th

A Time For Testimony Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 23, 2010

When we realize that we need nothing anymore, that God has provided everything we really need, we can show our thanksgiving to God by living for Him and helping other people find the giver of life. Like the 24 elders who get off their throne and fall down

Much improper prophecy has been been given. My measuring stick is if is God it will come true. If not? I desire to encourage everyone:Trump supporters? Bidden supporters? God is God. God is still in control. God is not caught off guard? Give hope... give peace... for such a time as this.

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

You’ll be like the Christmas tree that you remove from your house after the holidays. It is planted in a metal tree holder, the needles will fall off the moment you try to pick it up. The person who hasn’t experienced the love of Christ is nicely decorated but falls apart when handled.

What A Wonderful Change!

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Feb 5, 2012

When Jesus Christ comes into a life the Bible declares he is a new creature – literally he is a new unprecedented creation of God. The old, those things that characterized his pre-Christ life, have been shed for a new life in Christ.

It's All About Religion (Part 15 ) Series

Contributed by Denis O'callaghan Ph.d. ,th.d., D.d., D. Phil. on Sep 22, 2012

We are looking at what Jesus "really meant" and in doing so I hope that at this point you have come to at least consider that what you were taught about Christ Jesus, His claims, attitudes, actions warrant a reasoned second look.

Part 15 It’s All about "religion" I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said 'Stop! don't do it!' 'Why shouldn't I?' he said. I said, 'Well, there's so much to live for!' He said, 'Like what?' I said, 'Well...are ...read more

Understanding Who You Are? Your Identity In God Part #4

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jul 19, 2025

I was asked the question is it really that important to be concerned about the descendants and who we are when it is all about salvation anyway? To a point that seems to be a fair question until you understand that the concept of salvation is twisted and manipulated and used to control slaves.

When I Am At The End Of My Rope Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 10, 2013

Do you ever feel like you have done everything you know how to do, even cried out to God for answers, yet He feels far away or even unwilling to help? Believe it or not, Asaph felt the same way, and his answer can really bring a sense of help and purpose

Psalm 74 was written by one of Asaph’s descendants after the Babylonian capture of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. and records the emotional distress at seeing God’s enemies triumph and calling on God to respond. 1 – 11 The writer asks God why has He rejected the people He purchased, ...read more
