Jesus In The Midst: The Upper Room.

Spiritual Growth And Learning Is A Life-Long Adventure

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Dec 6, 2022

The crops determine when the harvest will occur. If the crop is a metaphor for spiritual growth the harvest must never happen. Thus, spiritual growth can never stop.

Spiritual Growth and Learning is a Life-Long Adventure Mark 4:26-29 26 And He was saying, "The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; 27 and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know. 28 "The soil ...read more

Answering Rob Bell's Myths About The Resurrection

Contributed by Keith Foskey on Apr 16, 2014

Was the Resurrection a Myth concocted out of many ancient stories? Rob Bell seems to think so.

Recently, I watched a video from a preacher named Rob Bell.

Now, I may soon deal with Rob Bell’s claims ...read more

Dirty Feet At The Table

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 27, 2010

The Lord's washing of all the disciples' feet reminds us that all of us need cleansing, that His cleansing starts us on the way to holiness, and that we are then empowered to help others toward cleansing.

When I was growing up, there were very definite rules about what you did or did not do at the dinner table. Obviously, everyone was expected to wash their hands before coming to the table and then to wait quietly while prayer was offered. To this day, if I rush to eat something without doing both ...read more

A Starter Or A Finisher

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 22, 2017

This message is based on Philippians 3:13 where Paul describes someone running in a race and actually finishing it. The idea coming from this message is that we are all running in a sprint individually that we must complete in order to run in the relay.

Who Is Chief Of Sinners?

Contributed by Jeff Hatos on Aug 2, 2018

Paul identified himself as chief of sinners. Is this a right assessment or does someone else deserve that title?
