    Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Apr 29, 2006
    based on 36 ratings
     | 9,209 views

    Contemporary Chrsitians are tempted to sit behind the secure walls of the church rather than engage the enemy of sin in the world. But, Christ Jesus calls us to leave the closed doors and open our minds to his gospel by living and sharing it with others.

    Luke 24: 36 – 48 Closed Doors to Open Minds Intro: Agoraphobia – fear of open spaces – people who cannot go outside and spend their entire life closed up inside a house or apartment. I’ve often wondered how these people earn a living or get their groceries. What happens when they get sick? --- ...read more

    #15 Understanding Love: Sweat And Dirty Hands?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 1, 2016
     | 3,772 views

    To understand love we must go beyond human logic and realize the lesson that sometimes all we can do is DIG THE WELL AGAIN. We also consider all the tears and sweat that Nehemiah invested to rebuild God's church and walls.

    #16 LOVE UNDERSTANDS: SWEAT AND DIRTY HANDS By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com What a strange text about understanding love? Proverbs 14:4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox. Proverbs 14:4 (NLT) Without oxen a stable stays clean, ...read more

     | 6,483 views

    Today, we find many people who are very close to the Cross and to Jesus; however, they are no different than someone who has never heard of the Cross or Jesus. You see, just like those who have never heard, they are not under the Blood of Christ!

    Dare we believe that God is still at work in this world despite all its brokenness and iniquity? Dare we believe that God can still work in the world through the church despite all the change and cultural upheaval we see taking place in our society?

    What happens when a Christian sins and will not repent? What is the proper response to such a person by other Christians? God's word is not silent about this. We need to hear and heed what God tells us so that we can be what He intends. Our wisdom mig

     | 7,543 views

    Divine healing is not all about becoming well, nor is it becoming what we were, rather it is becoming what God intends for us to be. Today's study looks at the healing of the lame man at the pool of Bethesda, and then how God goes about healing us today.

    Heaven’s Healing Hand ** Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0DaDQxJEog I don’t know if you’re like me, hopefully not, because then I’d have to seriously pray for you.

    What does it mean for the church today to believe that Jesus is sitting at God’s right hand?

    That power is like the working of his mighty strength, {20} which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, {21} far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age ...read more
