Your Forgetting Something

Contributed by Thomas Dibble on May 29, 2003

Sometimes when we are in the middle of a storm or a problem we forget just how good God has been to us.

What a great account this is from the Bible. In fact Mark chapter six is a great chapter. In the reading of our scripture text we kind of broke in on the middle of the disciples day. So allow me to go back and give you the background of what is taking place here. The disciples have just come ...read more

"Fat” Is Where It’s At

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 19, 2019

We need to feast on the Word of God much more than we do.

“Fat” is where it’s at! The state of Missouri is known as the “Show Me” state. The phrase, “Show Me,” was coined in 1899 by then Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver while delivering a speech in Philadelphia. “I come from a state,” he said, “that raises corn and cotton, and cockleburs and ...read more

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023

These four thousand people have probably been eating what little they had with them when they began following Jesus, which probably wasn’t much. They may have found sources of water along the way. But they’re now in a predicament.

“Oh why didn’t I listen!?" The rich man cries out from the depths of hell, to this very day in 2023. He needed salvation dearly but could not see it.

Bread For Life Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 23, 2017

John doesn’t use the language of miracles, or wonders, because he wants us to understand that these things point beyond themselves. They’re signs of God’s kingdom. It’s just as important that we pay attention to them, and that we understand them.

Spiritual Warfare

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

We must band together as an army to fight the evil of Satan. Satan is roaming free in part because the church is so fractured that it cannot come together for this cause.

The church interpretation of the feeding of the 5,000 in Mark 6:33-44 has always been about the miracle that only Jesus could take five loaves of bread and two fish and make it feed all those people. Unfortunately, this methodology of telling people the meaning of Scripture as black and white does ...read more
