    Turn On The Light In The Room Of Gloom

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 1, 2025
     | 76 views

    The whole process would be like turning on a light. And I don’t mean a little candle, but a big flood. If you stumble around in a dark room, you move slowly, hesitantly, and you are guarding against a fall.

    Friday of the First Week of Advent 2025 When we hear or read Biblical prophecy, our Western mindset frequently gets confused by the language used. The prophet Isaiah today especially needs to be read with understanding of the form being used. The critical little snippet that is the key to the ...read more

    The Hidden Work That Brings God’s Power

     | 4,131 views

    This encounter makes no sense (why would Matthew just get up and follow this man) unless you know the behind-the-scenes encounters that happened prior. This message unpacks the need for that hidden work in our lives to see God moves powerfully.

    WHY DOES MATTHEW FOLLOW A STRANGER? The public commitment was preceded by behind-the-scenes work. - Matthew 9:9. - Matthew 4:18-22; John 1:35-42. - Matthew doesn't follow a stranger. He had a previous relationship with Jesus. This public moment was preceded by behind-the-scenes things. - The ...read more

    THE MINISTRY OF RESTORATION © 2001, Dr. Roy Mason Brethren, even if a man is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; {each one} looking to yourself, lest you too be tempted.

    In Easter we discover in the risen Christ an encounter with the grand questions of life

    I was reminded this week of the challenge we often feel coming to celebrate such profound events…the challenge to really ‘get it’ in terms of the meaning of what we come to…in the midst of all the activity that can surround such holidays. Thursday… 3 year old son…His Preschool nemesis told him the ...read more

    This is a clear presentation of the Gospel based on Jesus’ encounter with Nicodemus in John 3.

    “AN UNCOMPLICATED MESSAGE” John 3:1-21 INTRO – There are some things in life that seem very complicated to some people, and relatively easy to others.

    Testing and temptation: Jesus’s encounter with the Devil was a shadow of the cross in the wilderness.

    We just heard the reading from Matthew 4. When Matthew wrote his book, he had no idea that there was going to be a chapter break right at that point of his book. So I suggest we take a look at a few verses before Matthew 4 to get a sense of Matthew’s thought pattern. At the end of Chapter 3, we ...read more
