Imago Dei (Sanctity Of Life 2019)

Contributed by Jason Jones on Feb 19, 2019

The Christian worldview regarding life is framed in biblical doctrine

A. Opening illustration: It would be good for us to reflect on our likeness to God more often.

Who Determines How You Think?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Feb 22, 2019

God's Love Is The Key

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 9, 2019

What makes Christianity completely different and unique from all the other religions in the world is ‘love’ because it is the only religion where Jesus Christ, who is love Himself, comes to dwell within each willing heart when invited to.

I am firmly convinced that every human being has an unquenchable longing for love, and to love and be loved, because God is love (1 John 4:8). The love a person feels for another is just a minute shadow of God’s love for EVERYONE! Jesus Christ is the very definition of love itself and the empirical ...read more

Gloria Steinem – atheistic feminist justice 2. Nelson Mandela (had both injustice done to him and committed acts of ...read more

What Is Worship?

You Are Somebody Important, I Promise! Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 20, 2020

Is Mother's Day Another Hallmark Holiday?

Contributed by Robert Butler on May 4, 2020

God’s utilization of women throughout history to advance the kingdom validates the scriptural endorsement that men and women are made in the image of God.

Do you know the history of Mother’s day? It was born out of a small methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia. The nation was still mourning the Civil War dead. While teaching a Memorial Day lesson, Mrs. Anna Reeves Jarvis thought of mothers who had lost their sons. She prayed aloud that one day ...read more

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 8, 2018

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we have the capacity to love in the very same way God loves. But so many Christians don't understand what it means to love like God loves.

John 3:16 is a verse we learn very, very early in life, even before we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. My Mom and Dad, and I’m sure your Mom and Dad too, repeated this verse to us as children. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him ...read more
