Don’t Be Manipulated: Choose The More-Than-Sufficient Jesus

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 20, 2014

False teachers are constantly trying to manipulate us in their direction, but we much choose our alternative from a position of strength and truth, not by guilt trips, fads, emotional manipulations, or slick presentations.

Treated Better Than We Deserve

Contributed by John Gaston on May 26, 2016

Many complain about God letting them down, but the truth is, God blesses us far more than we deserve. If we compare our selves with others, or consider if we got justice instead of mercy, we'd never charge God with wrongdoing.

TREATED BETTER THAN WE DESERVE Ps. 103:10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There was a man who had a cat named Mr. Peoples. It was an especially obnoxious cat which yowled a lot and loved to pounce on him when he fell asleep in his lazy-boy chair. It would stand around smirking at him. 2. So one day he ...read more

Why Does The Government Do More Than The Church To Help The Poor? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 26, 2015

This passage on the care of widows opens up a larger question: what's the place the church should have in the care of the poor (versus the place the government should have)?

THE POINT OF THE PASSAGE: Taking care of the needy widows was a big deal in the early church. - There was a different societal structure and a lack of social safety net back then. The church stepped in to help. - Unpack some of the passage. - The passage raises a more general question: why ...read more

God Is Bigger Than My Selfishness Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Fast food restaurants ask you, “Would you like to supersize your drink?” Warehouse stores sell Costco and Sam’s Club offer us items in bulk – really big sizes. It seems like the only item in modern day life that hasn’t been upgraded is God.

Today, we continue a short 4-week series entitled God is Bigger. Pause for a moment because I want everyone to hear this question: How big is your God? How capable is God in your mind? J.B.

Too Good To Be True?

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 2, 2018

After Thomas had witnessed the risen Jesus he doubted no more. It might of been too good to be true but he had witnessed it first hand and that always helps.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? JOHN 20:19-31. We live in a sceptical world where human nature finds it difficult to believe in anything good. In fact we find it easy to believe in something bad and prefer to believe in a white lie rather than believe in the truth. We say, "its too good to be true." But ...read more
