    When Jesus went home to Nazareth, he took his disciples with him. Why? What did they learn from the trip? What message does it offer for us?

    "IT CAN BE HARD WHEN EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU" (Mark 6:1-6) Introduction There is an unwritten "rule" that exists in ministry. It’s a "rule" most ministers recognize. The rule: "Never return as pastor to your childhood church." So often going back home just won’t work, because folk in your ...read more

    Home Truths For Christians

     | 5,042 views

    James diagnoses some problems in the churches to which he writes and offers some home truths concerning the Christians' having the Wrong Spirit, the Wrong Friendship and the Wrong Attitude.

    HOME TRUTHS FOR CHRISTIANS The letter written by James is very direct and personal in its message - he doesn't pull his punches. Martin Luther wasn't very keen on this book - he called it "an epistle of straw" because it didn't say much about Jesus or the Cross. But that's an incorrect reading of ...read more

    One way we give thanks to God is through our offerings, but our giving is not necessarily giving thanks. Paul when and how our giving becomes thanksgiving.

    Introduction 1. Thanksgiving Day is a day when we celebrate God’s goodness. We thank Him for the many blessings He has bestowed upon us. 2. Today we have a thanksgiving day offering. If we give it the right way, we give thanks to God in ever increasing proportions. Teaching 1. Paul has been ...read more

    Any path apart from God’s way is a downward path. God offers us light and liberation, while secular reasoning brings only darkness and despair.

    The Prince Of Peace

    Contributed by Joanna Rose on Dec 20, 2008
     | 4,613 views

    The Prince of Peace meets with us while we are knee deep in sin and and offers to us not peace without conflict but perfect peace in Him who has paid it all.

    Dorothy Thompson said this: They have not wanted Peace at all; they have wanted to be spared war -- as though the absence of war was the same as peace. Yet we are presented with the Prince of Peace. Surely this is the Christ: that knows no war, has known no hatred, has not hurt, or experienced ...read more

    based on 31 ratings
     | 12,924 views

    For Elisha to have the ’double-portion’ he desired there was a clear path to follow. There was a preparation to be made, a pryaer to be offered, a promise to be claimed, and the possession of the answer. What a challenge for us today!

    ELISHA SEEKS THE BLESSING THE PATH TO THE DOUBLE-PORTION II Kings 2:1-15 Elisha had travelled with Elijah for a relatively short time, and had seen how the Lord had miraculously worked through Elijah. This must have inspired him to want the same anointing himself, but before Elisha could ...read more

    Jesus feeding the 5,000 is not only about sharing, but added value. All you can eat means: you can get all life has to offer

    "By the breaking of the bread, he makes it into a seedbed of food--for if the bread had been left intact and not pulled apart and broken into pieces, they would have been unable to feed the great crowds of men, women, and children....Mysteries are made manifest, so that what did not feed the ...read more

    Persecution can and is real. The key is how we approach it. Peter offers 2 lessons of encouragement: We must "Cultivate Christian Love" and "Practice the Lordship of Christ".

    INTRODUCTION Persecution is real for the believer. While it comes in many different ways, it is real – The group we’ve been studying about in 1 Peter suffered this horror in much a different way than we do as Christians today: Dr. M.R. DeHaan put it this way: In the early days of the church. . . , ...read more
