On With God's Work Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 15, 2022

When we have setbacks we need to hear and cherish the voices that cry out, get on with God’s work. What God’s people need in this situation is the voice of encouragement.

Drop It All!

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024

In recent years, one of the biggest dangers to the church is that what was considered normal Christianity is now considered abnormal and what was not even considered Christianity at all is now become the norm and hub of our faith.

Opening illustration: Show video “Leave: Follow.” Introduction: This is dizzying. If we read these verses honestly and thoughtfully, they really do take our breath away.

The Criteria For An Apostolic Replacement Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 24, 2017

Matthias was evidently a good man. He met the requirements of an apostle, which meant he must have been with the Lord from His baptism by John until His ascension; and, more importantly, he must have been a witness of the resurrection,as the others were.
