Loving Others At Their Worst

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 9, 2017

The more intimate a relationship is, the more certain we are to experience the worst side of a spouse, child, parent, friend... Jesus loved--and yes, loves--us at our worst, and beckons us to be his ambassadors by doing the same for others.

LOVING OTHERS AT THEIR WORST I. Introduction - Not long ago I read the story of a man who came to love a woman named Helen, who was a drug addict. She was living with an abusive man who supplied her drugs and in return used her for his pleasure. But another man, an honest and virtuous man, ...read more

Trump Or Harris? How Should Evangelicals Elect A President Biblically?

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Oct 4, 2024

The 2024 election will have a huge impact on every aspect of our lives but some Christians are still confused about deciding who they will choose because they see that the two candidates do not meet their criteria as a national leader. How to elect a president biblically?

Today I will discuss a topic related to next month’s presidential election. I am not an American citizen, so I do not have the right to vote and I have no personal interest whatsoever.

The Book Of Revelation (Revelation 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 20, 2022

John now describes the vial judgments that come from God on a world that is worshiping Satan as God.

As strange as the judgments appear, these are actual events that happen on the earth just prior to the return of Jesus to set up the Kingdom of God on earth. It is believed these vial judgments probably begin about 6 months before His coming. I believe the judgments span the last 6 months or so ...read more

Abandoned Series

Environmental Devastation In End Times

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 29, 2022

The scientists tell us that the world is headed for environmental catastrophe. That's what Revelation says too. What should we think about it?

Feeling Small, Walking Tall Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 24, 2022

Small congregations might feel ineffective at reaching people, but big things come in small packages. Both the parable of "the mustard seed" and "the yeast" show how small, seemingly insignificant things can make a huge impact.

The passage of Scripture that we will view tonight contains two short parables – “The Mustard Seed” and “The Yeast.” I have entitled our sermon “Feeling Small, Walking Tall,” and the passage that we’ll be studying provides a great opportunity for sharing a motivational message. You are probably ...read more

Psalm 22 reveals honest lament, prophetic suffering, and Christ’s redeeming victory, transforming our deepest “why?” into confident praise through His finished work.

INTRODUCTION — THE PSALM WE HEAR BUT RARELY ENTER Psalm 22 is one of the most famous passages in Scripture, but ironically, it is one of the least understood.
