Apostolic Intolerance Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

If pride and a sense of exclusiveness and spiritual privilege could lead the Apostles to go wrong, it is not only likely, but inevitable that the same will be true of all of us.

It is not intolerant to expose an oppose error. If a newspaper prints an article naming you as a spokesman for the Ku Kulx Klan it would not be intolerant for you to write them and tell them of their error. Likewise, if a man preaches that God’s Word teaches a man can be saved by works, it is not ...read more

Colonel Bottomly was rising to the level of general in the United States Air Force. He was a proud self-sufficient man who needed nobody. He felt that if you could succeed without God you didn't need Him. As he rose in power he began to feel he could do as he pleased, and he did. He bombed ...read more

Philip Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Philip, like all the other Apostles, was unique. He had his own strengths and weaknesses. He is another proof that Jesus can and does use people of all different natures.

If Simon the Zealot was a right-winger and Matthew the Publican a left- winger, Philip was a cautious middle of the roader. He had both liberal and conservative leanings. His background was one of mixed influence. His name, for example, tell us something of his home life. Philip is a Greek name, ...read more

"Fishermen: Jesus Gives Them A Do Over”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 2, 2022

"Do Overs" We all have them. The disciples got a "do over", because Jesus was in the boat. Jesus makes people different. Making people different is why Jesus was born. Quote by a man who will not get a "do over" on Judgment day.

"lord, Who Is It?"

Today we live in a society where people make a profession of salvation and you cannot see any transformation take place in their lives.

An arrogant church lady stood before a class of young children. She was going to teach them the importance of living the Christian life. She said, “Why do people call me a Christian, children?” A little boy said, “It is because they don’t know you!” But this is not Bible salvation. The Bible ...read more

Who Do We Strive After? - Sermon For Proper 22 - Year A

Contributed by Ian Bullock on Oct 1, 2020

Paul teaches us about being Christlike, whilst the Gospel teach us about the corruption in Israel. Where do we stand in our faith when we consider the two scriptures?

In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Judas The Coin Collector

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Sometimes we take life much too seriously. Life is to be taken seriously, but some folks are so serious they can not enjoy life.

If we are going to enjoy life, we have to have a sense of humor. God has a sense of humor. I know some folks have the idea that God sits up in heaven and never cracks a smile. But I do not believe that, I sincerely believe God looks down upon what He has created and has the same kind of joy ...read more
