Power To Succeed Series

Contributed by Barry L. Davis on May 2, 2013

The fact is, there is nothing in the Bible to suggest that God has quit working with power through His people – and I have come to the conclusion that the fault does not lie with God, but with those of us who claim to follow Him.

The book of Acts found in your Bibles records for us the history of the early church and how God used ordinary people to build His kingdom. While we call it the “Acts of the Apostles” it would be more accurate to call it the “Acts of the Holy Spirit” as it was the Holy Spirit moving through, in, ...read more

Who Has Got Your Tongue? Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 7, 2015

Paul’s Version Of The Christmas Story Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 15, 2020

Sometimes it isn't easy to explain the Christmas story, or the reason why Jesus was born into this world. For a good number of people in Galatia, they didn't understand so Paul was led to explain it to them.

Introduction: many of us are familiar with the stories of Jesus’ birth, as recorded in Matthew’s and Luke’s gospels. Paul seemed to know the story, too, but he never seemed to say much about it in his messages or his letters. He did explain the story to the Galatian believers, though, and this ...read more

The Last Trump

Contributed by Grady Henley on May 21, 2025

Is the Last Trump the same as the Last Trumpet?

Is the last trump the last trumpet? The last trump and the last trumpet are not the same. In the English language, context determines definition and pronunciation, not the Greek concordance or dictionary. For example: is it read or read or live or live?

Words Have Power/ Don’t Babel

We all grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, enlarging our understanding of the church and the faith. And then maybe we can overcome Babel by speaking one in Christ on this Pentecost Sunday.

How Much Is The Fare To Tarshish? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 6, 2003

Jonah refused to go to Tarshish because emotionally he felt unwelcome and theologically he thought he could escape God’s oversight. He paid hidden costs, in vain: the loss of a vessel, the loss of joy, human wreckage, reckoning with eternity.
