Give Us A King

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more

In Europe, there’s something called “Lock Bridges”.

Give Us A King Series

Contributed by Todd Catteau on May 20, 2023

Israel makes a demand of Samuel to give the nation a king, just like all the other nations. This demand reveals some faulty theology among the nation, and even among ourselves.

Give To Social Concerns Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jun 24, 2023

Jesus has declared that he is a good shepherd. A shepherd who gave his life for the salvation of the sheep. He is such a shepherd that he lays his life for the benefit of the sheep. He was not a shepherd who lost his life to the power of the lion who devours the sheep.

God Gives Reassurance Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 29, 2022

Abraham had some tremendous high points, but he had low points too. Knowing that will help us when you are not experiencing victory after victory. Sometimes you do not see everything you are trusting God for, and it is hard to have faith.

God said it. I believe it. That settles it. That is a bold statement. You can order a bumper sticker that has this declaration of faith. However, are there times we need reassurance from God? Abraham might have ordered a bumper sticker for his camel that said: God, you said it. I heard it. ...read more

Give Me A Drink

Contributed by Samuel M on Aug 7, 2024

Jesus comes with his need to a broken person( in his brokenness), not to burden him, but to bless him and make him a blessing for others. Meeting Jesus’s need in your lack and brokenness creates an avenue for Jesus to bless you and become a blessing to many others.

Jesus asks the samaritan woman for a cup of water. This is the greatest paradox in the Bible. Jesus never asked anything from anyone. He always gives but rarely asks for something from others. Jesus comes to the most broken person and expects something from her. The broken person has nothing(in ...read more
