Not A Cunningly Designed Fable

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Dec 7, 2019

Myths are powerful. But should we use them?

Not a Cunningly Devised Fable 2 Peter 1:16-21 Myths and legends can be powerful teachers of morality. This is why they have been used from time immemorial. They speak of something greater than the story itself. They can be based upon some degree of fact, but this is not necessary for the truth ...read more

Satanic Separatism Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

It is significant to note that the antichrists were not outsiders, but were those who were within, but who then went out of the church. This makes sense, for false doctrines seldom have their origins outside the church

Harry Emerson Fosdick has much thinking that is not acceptable to the evangelical Christian, but he also has many valuable insights that make his writings of real worth. One of his ideas is that a man should not be judged so much by the position he is in, as by the direction in which he is ...read more

Why I Post About Jesus On Social Media & Why You Should Too

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021

To Those Who Overcome: How To Be Free From All Sin

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021

He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

"He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." -Revelation 3:21 NASB William Booth said, "I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy ...read more

Redeeming Love From The Blood ...

Contributed by Lorraine Greeff on Mar 31, 2021

in order to understand the meaning of true love, we must first understand the power and authority of the Blood

REDEEMING LOVE FROM THE BLOOD… So, I know how love feels, my heart beats for me, yes, all the time yet, it beats for God, in and outside my body, all around me, going through me, pulsating all the time. I know firsthand rejection from people, family, when God comes and puts His Arms around you, ...read more

Romans 2:17-20 17Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, 18 and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 ...read more

Jumping To Conclusions Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

The friends of Job explained life's sufferings, and specifically Job's sufferings, as very simple and obvious. They said there is no mystery here at all. It is clear as a bell that suffering is God's judgment on the sinner. Job is suffering, therefore, Job is a sinner.

There is a poem that I have enjoyed for many years, but I could never see how it could be used in a sermon, until I began to study the friends of Job. I want to share it with you, for it both describes them, and gives us insight into why they could be so wrong when they were so often right. It is ...read more

Old Dogs And New Tricks Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Shallowness always leads to folly, but depth, when it is directed by wisdom, will lead to a life pleasing to God and appealing to man. Very seldom is a truly wise man proud. He is humbled because he knows so well how little he really knows.

Proverbs by their very nature are often paradoxical, and they often seem to contradict one another. They only do so, however, if we take them as absolutes which are true in every case. If we take them as stating a truth of a segment of reality, and not all of reality, we will see there are ...read more

Scripture: Proverbs 1:5-6

The Paths Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

In every issue of life the believer has only one question to answer to determine the will of God, and that is, what is right and just? Not, what is the majority for, or what is best for the majority, or what is best for me and my group, but what is just?

A study of God's nature as just and righteous leads to the conclusion that one of our popular explanations of things is not true. We have all heard the saying that God loves the sinner but hates the sin. It sounds good and seems to be a helpful way of explaining God's attitude to man. ...read more

Getting In Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

So often we hear stories about dying and coming to the golden gate and dickering with Peter whether we should be allowed in or not. This would be a tragic mistake to wait until you die to find out if you can get in.

Everybody wants to get in on the action. Back in 1982 a crowd began to form one Monday afternoon in December at the River Front Coliseum in Cincinnati. By the time the police arrived at 3:00 P.M., hundreds of fans had gathered at the doors, even though they would not open until 7:00 P.M. The rock ...read more

The Indwelling Spirit Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Paul says, "If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, He does not belong to Christ." We must possess the Spirit to be possessed by Christ. He must be ours if we are His. Mutual possessing and mutual indwelling is what salvation is all about.

Indwelling has a variety of meanings. It can mean that matter indwells matter as a kernel or fruit within a shell. A yoke indwells the white and both dwell within the shell. It can refer to a situation where one substance is intermixed with another, as with salt and water, or medicine within your ...read more

If Crosses Could Speak.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Apr 4, 2021

The title of this mornings message is—If Crosses Could Speak. The fact is these three crosses on Golgotha’s Hill did speak.

If Crosses Could Speak. Luke 23:39-43NKJV Visual illustration—Have 3 crosses on stage, with the middle cross draped with purple, but at the end overlap the middle cross with white. Through the criminals on the cross, we see that death exposes the human heart. At the climax of a lifetime’s ...read more

Resolving Conflict Series

Contributed by Esther Collins on Apr 6, 2021

This is the 6th devotion in a series entitled, 'Building Relationships that Last.'

In any relationship, at some point there is bound to be conflict, and the closer we are to someone, the more likely that we will have disagreements over various issues. This is because as human beings, each one of us are different in our personalities, temperaments, up-bringing, and we each have ...read more

The Day Of Judgment Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

We must open our spiritual eyes and recognize that there are thousands of victories being won everyday around the world. We are referring to the victories of light over darkness. The Christian must balance his pessimism concerning the world with his optimism concerning the kingdom of God.

The optimist says the world is everyday in every way getting better and better. The pessimist says the world isn’t what it used to be, but is going to the dogs. The Christian realist says they are both right, because there are two kingdoms of reality. There is the world order, or that realm in ...read more
