Cutting Away The Flesh Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 6, 2007

Before Joshua can go into battle the Lord has to cut away the flesh, provide new life, new food, and show who the real boss is. Before we can have victory in Christ we must go through the same thing.

It was December of 1980. I found myself freshly graduated from college; a bachelor’s degree tucked under my arm and the world before me. I felt prepared and ready to face the challenges of the world after enduring my four years of college midterms and finals. The Lord led me to my first job in an ...read more

Let's Be Spiritually Fit !

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 20, 2006

A short homily for some elderly Christians living in sheltered accomodation. I don’t think I took on board the right amount of spiritual food over the Christmas and New Year period. God is challenging me (and perhaps you!) to be spiritually fit.

A lot can happen in a year! A lot can and will happen during this next year. As I look back over the last year I realise that so much has happened and so much has changed: †My two boys have started new schools. †My daughter has begun pre-school. †My sister got married. †My Granddad died. †My ...read more

According To Your Faith?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Mar 13, 2008

Which report has prophetic power? The negative? The positive? They are both correct. DO WE KNOW THE POWER OF FAITH? FAITH FINDS FOOD AND WATER DURING DROUGHTS AND FAMINES... DOUBT IS SELF-DEFEATING AND GROWS WEAKER AS IT STARVES AND DIES... God’s plan wil

Peak Of Popularity Passes In Galilee Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 16, 2017

Because Christ told them that they must labor for the food He spoke of, they enquired what they must do. What they want to know is what works can we do better or more of, than those we do in obedience to the Law of Moses.

Born To Be A Messiah Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 23, 2012

Some people regard Jesus to be like Santa Claus - He’s just a little further up the food chain. But as our Messiah, Jesus came to offer far more than a jolly elf. What is it that Jesus as Messiah offers that this world can not equal?

It was the day after Christmas at a church in San Francisco. The preacher, was looking at the nativity outside when he noticed the baby Jesus was missing.

There is a famine of the Word of God in our country and the people are hungry for the truth. Amos 8:11 “Look!

Thanksgiving 2019 - Thank Who?

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 3, 2019

Thanksgiving Day has come to mean little more than a day off from work with food and family and football, if you are lucky! But, the word "thanks" that kicks off the name of the holiday implies that there is "Someone" who needs to be thanked!

Thanksgiving 2019 – Thank Who?

Thankful For The Cross

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 25, 2015

At Thanksgiving, we think of many things we’re thankful for – our families, jobs, health, food, friends, church, being Americans, etc. Darlene Zschech mentioned one more – "Thank You for the cross, Lord." Let's look at that.

THANKFUL FOR THE CROSS Gal. 6:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. WHAT’S A MOTTO. As a new paratrooper, I was struck by all the T-shirts on base emblazoned with the motto "Death from above!"

No Parole, No Appeal, No Hope: The Great White Throne Judgment Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 19, 2020

You do not end up as mere food for worms and fertilizer for flowers in a forgotten grave. You will be in one of two places after you take your last breath, and you will face the Sovereign LORD, either as Savior or Judge. Where do you stand on that fact?

The Holy Bible affirms that there are ONLY two places where your soul can go after death. Either you will be in heaven with God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the redeemed of all history, or in hell with the devil, his angels, and the wicked of all history, to be ...read more

We find in the scripture that nearly 40 times Jesus performed an act of healing. Water to wine. Fed 5000 without very little food. He healed the blind, the deaf; the lame. And the reason was simple: it was never just about the healing…it was always to teach a lesson.

The Magnanimity Of God’s Love

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Dec 4, 2024

As we gather this Christmas Sunday, there is a tension in the air, one that is often masked by the lights, the decorations, and the festive songs. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of Christmas—the gifts, the food, the joy. But do we ever stop to reflect on the true weight of this season?
