    Transforming Role Of The Word

    Contributed by Steven Chapman on Feb 6, 2007
    based on 15 ratings
     | 4,779 views

    The greatest threat to the Bible is believers who don’t live close enough to God’s Word for it to perform its purpose.

    The Transforming Role of the Word Hebrews 4:12 What is the greatest threat to the Bible? A Soviet Russian dictionary defined the Bible as a ‘collection of fantastic legends without scientific support. It is full of dark hints, historical mistakes, and contradictions. It serves as a factor for ...read more

    When Doubt Is Called Proof

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 27, 2025
     | 79 views

    True prophets invite testing; a claim that denial proves authenticity is a closed loop and never the biblical measure of God’s voice.

    Opening – The Self-Proving Prophet Let me start with a single, startling sentence: > “One proof I have that I am a prophet of God is if you deny that it is so.” Let it sink in. It sounds clever at first, like a riddle that wins no matter how you answer. If you agree, the claim is ...read more

    A short talk given at an all-Saints' Memorial Day service, giving thanks to God for loved ones who have died. In short, God knows us, God stays close to us, and God made us.

    In 2008 I spent seven months in bed suffering from severe debilitating pain in my neck. My neck muscles were twisting my head in 3 directions. My right ear was almost resting on my shoulder. In many ways it was a horrible time. It tested my faith. The result was a deeper trust in the God who knows ...read more

    Encouragement Series

    I suspect all of us can identify a Barnabas or two in our past who gave us a second chance. Maybe it was a parent or a relative or a teacher or a church leader or a close friend. Christianity means second chances.

    God wants to come to His world, but He wants to come to it through man. This is the mystery of our existence. He wants to come to this world through you. Proverbs 15:23 says, “A man has joy by an apt answer, and how delightful is a timely word.” I enjoyed a Charles Schulz cartoon ...read more

     | 6,094 views

    Just like Thomas, our doubt can show how close we are to God; we can be transformed by Jesus in our doubt.

    INTRODUCTION • Today we will conclude our four-week series concerning the issue of dealing with doubt. • We have covered the fact that we can go through seasons of doubt; and that our expectations can lead to doubt. • Last week we examined how we can struggle to believe because what we see in ...read more

    Glorify The Name Of The Lord

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 12, 2024
     | 1,208 views

    It should be our goal to glorify the name of the Lord as we live on this earth and wait for His return. That is a prayer that we should pray for ourselves and for each other. So lets look more closely at this prayer.

    Alba 3-10-2023 GLORIFY THE NAME OF THE LORD II Thessalonians 1:11-12 In a book titled “Mornings With Jesus” Katie Jones wrote, "One morning I overslept. Then, while rushing around the kitchen, I spilled a glass of orange juice all over the counter. After that, I got stuck behind a slow driver ...read more

    You Are A Beloved Disciple Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,149 views

    Valentine's Day: Peter came very close to viewing himself by his failures instead of seeing himself through the eyes of Christ. He finally came to realize that he was a beloved disciple. And Jesus sees you as cherished too!

    This morning I want to address the topic of our identity in Christ, concerning how we are a people covered by grace, and how we are deeply loved and cherished. Many believers walk about feeling defeated. They come down hard on themselves and never accept the forgiveness that God wants to offer ...read more

    Blessings so close, that they could throw a stone and hit them! Like a strong pot of coffee brewing, they could smell it, but not taste it. The word of the Lord said: you’ve been in this place long enough.

    He said the B word As I was working with someone the other day, there was something I was doing that came together and really worked out well for me.
