    Christ The King

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 11, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,824 views

    Today on Christ the King we recall that the essential character of kingship means personal allegiance to one person. To say Christ is King implies that we are subjects.

    33B There’s a famous remark from a Modernist priest named Alfred Loisy: “Jesus came proclaiming the Kingdom, and what arrived was the Church.” Maybe his remark was a little like those T-shirts that say something like, “My parents went to the Grand Canyon and all I got was this lousy ...read more

    Thomas- The "Concrete Man"

     | 4,618 views

    Doubts come and go, and often they can lead to greater faith. But living in doubt will leave us in our sin because we are saved "by grace through faith." Blessed are those who believe but have not seen because, in matters of faith, believing is seeing.

    "Tom- The Concrete Man" John 20:19-31 Did you hear the joke about the neighbor who loved children in the abstract? A young married couple who had several children lived next door to an older man who frequently told them how much he loved children, especially their little tykes. But when these same ...read more

    The Magi Surface Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 21, 2015
     | 5,047 views

    The visit of the Magi piques our curiosity but also reveals the importance of honoring Jesus Christ — no matter how much effort it takes.

    The Magi Surface (Matthew 2:1-12) 1. Some people think the Bible teaches that the fruit Adam and Eve ate in the Garden was an apple….. probably a fig. Most of us know the Christmas narratives fairly well, but we often assume things that the text does not actually say. 2. Lin Smalec writes, ...read more

    When is religious authority right and wrong? How should we behave in an imperfect church? Should we quit church and return to the devil or stay and be a force for good?

    Prelude When is religious authority right and wrong? How should we behave in an imperfect church? Should we quit church and return to the devil or stay and be a force for good? Let’s look at Jesus’ blunt assessment of human religious leadership in Matthew 23:1-12 and see if we can learn a better ...read more

    Muscle power, charm, money power, beauty, fame and popularity would be vain without wisdom from the Holy Spirit.

    Absalom 2 Sameul 14:25”…Now in all Israel was no one as handsome as Absalom, so highly praised…” When something is too good to be true then be careful!

    Being a leader there are many philosophical concerns that I wrestle with: Where does my emphasis belong? How do I balance all my responsibilities?

    Being a leader there are many philosophical concerns that I wrestle with: Where does my emphasis belong? How do I balance all my responsibilities? How do I balance evangelism and discipleship?

    Food For The Fed Up

     | 2,852 views

    Many have died accomplishing much in either their bank accounts or in other areas. Accomplishments are nice, but they cannot give us what we hunger for which is assurance.

    FOOD FOR THE FED UP (November 2002) Text: Isaiah 55:2, John 6:48 "An eighty-four-year-old rag picker who died in abject poverty was buried in a pauper's grave In New York. Several days after his burial, the city authorities discovered a fortune of more than $500,000 belonging to the ...read more

    The Anonymous Apostles And The World’s Worst Traitor (Matthew 10:1-4)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 9, 2025
     | 118 views

    Our look at the Twelve apostles concludes with the last four on the list - James the Less, Simon the Zealot, Jude Thaddeus, and the apostle who threw his calling away, Judas Iscariot.

    When we look at the lives of the twelve men whom Jesus chose to be His apostles, we need to make a notation. None of these men would be known today except for the fact that Jesus chose to pull them out from obscurity and ordinary situations. None of them were of renown or any type of prominence. ...read more

     | 10,771 views

    Before we hurl accusations at "Didymus," we had better check to see that it is not we in fact who are his twin. There are many who doubt Jesus in on way or another.

    “DOUBTING THOMAS” John 20:24-29 (030427e) A word on verse 23 before we look at Thomas. Commentary writer, Warren Wiersbe said the following: The “remitting” power given in v. 23 does not apply to Christians today, except in the sense that we retain or remit sins as we give sinners the Gospel. ...read more

    Scars That Never Go Away

     | 4,483 views

    Even though we are saved and our sins are forgiven, we can still bear scars that are a direct result of choices we have made.

    Read the story of David’s moral failure. Notice even after David acknowledged his sin he still paid the consequences. It was a scar that would not heal. Introduction: the Bible in 1st Peter 5:8 tells us "the devil as a roaring lion is seeking whom he may devour or destroy, and we are to be on our ...read more
