Loving Truth

Contributed by James Groce on May 4, 2003

Pontius Pilate even attempted to engage Jesus Christ in a philosophical discussion of the nature of truth when he asked “What is truth?”

******************* Loving truth 2 Thess. 2:10b “…because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” It is sobering to realize that this statement implies that we don’t naturally love the truth. Nor, for that matter, can we be saved without loving the truth. Jesus ...read more

Job Description For The Christian

What is the Christian supposed to be doing with his life in order to please God? This sermon looks at the Great Commission that too often the "Great Ommission."

Puroseful Praise Or Not?

Contributed by Craig Benner on Mar 23, 2013

Is the praise and worship that we offer to the Lord everything that it is perceived to be? Meaning well and doing right for the long term may sometimes be two different things.

PURPOSEFUL PRAISING or NOT? Luke 19:28-44 Casting something at the feet of Jesus speaks of a high praise. Mary washed Jesus' feet with her hair, pouring expensive ointment on Him. The 24 elders, in Revelation, cast their crowns at His feet. Rev. 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down ...read more

Thank God For The First Centuries Atheists

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Sep 4, 2014

Life-Changing Lessons: Rejection At Nazareth

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 7, 2019

“When God closes a door, he opens a window, but it's up to you to find it. In the meantime, you can praise Him in the hallway.”

If you never get a no, then you aren’t taking enough chances. But the same areas of the brain become activated when we experience rejection as when we experience physical pain. This is why rejection hurts so much (neurologically speaking). Patience under disappointment is one of the great ...read more

"Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho" Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 7, 2016

The Wounds Of Jesus

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 10, 2018

The wounds of Jesus were very visible after the Resurrection of His body but not always. Why didn't the disciples always recognise the risen Jesus? Was He different in some way?

But if you take notice and look at the detail – Christ is ...read more
