    Modern seminaries may be helpful, but the Lord’s seminary training is much different. Here Paul reviews the training Timothy received--and it is much different than what we often see today.

    God’s Seminary II Timothy 3:10-13 Purpose: To describe the ingredients that make up a successful servant of Christ. Aim: I want the listener to accept the challenge to serve Christ without reservation. INTRODUCTION: I am constantly amazed by the difference between the Bible’s formula for success ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,981 views

    Scripture says that Jesus is our "mediator." What is a mediator and what did Jesus do to fill that need in our lives?

    OPEN: Humorist Dave Barry once wrote about gifts that were given to Jesus by the Wise Men. He suggested that if you carefully analyzed what the Bible tells us, you’d find there was an overlooked theological fact in the story. There is no mention of wrapping paper. Now why would the wisemen not use ...read more

    As believers can we cry foul when we feel our 'rights' have been violated? What about when we feel violated by those within the body of believers? What is our 'right'? What is our course of action? Do we have one?

    Facing Death In Christ

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 11, 2021
     | 3,002 views

    Why do many Christians fear death? Of course the act itself can be horrifying (such as crucifixion ...). But many fear death no matter what the cause. Should this be normal for followers of Jesus? What do we see in the Bible? How does that compare to what we feel?

    Facing Death In Christ Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Job 19:25-27 “I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes - I, ...read more

    Do Not Tire

    Contributed by Masimba Murisa on May 24, 2025
     | 573 views

    To tire is to become weary and to lose patience or to become exhausted. Why do people tire or faint in life and want to give up? ? Let's explore and through God's word bring some encouragement to stay the course and not give up on life and God.

    As humans if we pray and believe God and we do not see results by a certain time we feel like God has abandoned us. We start believing the enemy's lies that God does not care about us and that He has rejected us. But God does not come and go, He lasts (Isaiah 40:28) MSG The enemy comes to ...read more

    Before This Year Ends, God Will Remember You

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Dec 6, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 945 views

    This year may have tested you. It may have drained you. It may have humbled you. It may have taken things from you. But do not close the chapter early. God is still writing. Heaven is still moving. The story is not finished. Divine remembrance is still possible.

    BEFORE THIS YEAR ENDS, GOD WILL REMEMBER YOU There are seasons when the human heart feels forgotten. Not because God has abandoned us, but because the situation has lasted longer than expected. Many people quietly wonder, “Will this year end without a change? Will my prayers remain unanswered? ...read more

    1988. We may be at a point in our lives where we know we will never fully realize our dreams, but we can find fulfillment if we can identify and encourage others to embody our values.

    Several years ago a rather childish and tasteless movie, but nevertheless one good for escape purposes, made the rounds. The movie was called National Lampoon’s Vacation. It starred Chevy Chase, a batch of kids, fleeting glimpses of seductive models, and a monster station wagon that developed a ...read more

    Turning Tests Into Testimonies

    Contributed by Noah Martinez on May 15, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,609 views

    To advance through the predetermined goals that God ordains in each of us, He sends tests. Sometimes we cannot go on to the next exam until we finish the one we are in. With this perspective, we march forward with the help and grace of God.

    Turning Tests into Testimonies James 1:12-16 When James tells us do not err, I believe it means not to misunderstand what his point is in vs. 12, 13. There is an explanation why in one verse James relates temptation with God, and in the next says it isn’t God who tempts. In the original wording ...read more

    According to Hebrews 11 and 12 we all can be heroes. Hebrews 11 is the hall of heroes and is used to encourage us that we too can be heroes If we face the race of faith with endurance, depend on God for empowerment, finish the race with excellence.

    Intro: Hebrews 11 is the hall of Heroes. As we walk down the corridor of Hebrews 11 we see Abraham, and Sarah, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon and other judges, David, Samuel. It is a virtual Bible’s Who’s Who. As we stroll through the hall of heroes we find that they all endured. God gave ...read more
