    A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 19, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,793 views

    When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

    There was a man on a business trip and when he checked in he was given one of the middle seats on the airplane. He was tired and he all he wanted to do was sleep, so he got a little bit irritated when the young girl sat next to him started to ask questions: “Mister, do you brush your teeth?” “Yes,” ...read more

    Wanting What You Get Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jun 29, 2022
     | 2,159 views

    If you want to be truly content, keep the status you had when God called you. Just fulfill God’s calling in that place, follow God’s commands, and be free under God’s control. Because it’s not place, race, or face that matter. It is only your commitment to Christ.

    Once upon a time, there was a man who lived with his wife, two small children, and his elderly parents in a tiny hut. He tried to be patient and gracious, but the noise and crowded conditions wore him down. In desperation, he consulted the village wise man. “Do you have a rooster?” asked the wise ...read more

    He lurked in the tombs of dead men and rushed out uncontrollably. This naked, demonic man scared all around but once delivered by Jesus he was a new creation, clothed and in his right mind. He became a witness for the gospel. This is an interesting study of the man.

    The Issue Of Unforgiveness And Bitterness

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,332 views

    Bitterness is a weed whose root is unforgiveness. Whether it's from a bitter breakup, divorce, rejection, abandonment, or whatever, if we refuse to forgive in those situations, bitterness takes hold of our lives. And where there is bitterness, there can be no love and no peace.

    One of the secret sins believers can be easily guilty of is being unwilling to forgive which leads to bitterness. Even though it is often assumed to be more acceptable, unforgiveness is no less an offense to God than any other sin. It is the failure to deal with forgiveness that produces ...read more

    Daniel Taylor, in an article he calls Letters to My Children, writes: When I was a child, I was, like most children, afraid of things that go bump in the night. But I told myself (for no good reason) that monsters which lie under beds cannot break through blankets and sheets! By the time I was a ...read more

    We often think of the Christmas story being the whole story, or the beginning of the Jesus story that ends with his resurrection, but in reality it goes much further than that
