    If you removed all the wrapping paper, all the lights, all the tinsel, all the adverts, all the parties, and all the pressure… would Christmas still make sense to you?

    based on 1 rating
     | 628 views

    There is a tragic reality happening in churches around the world every Sunday: People can be physically present in church… yet spiritually absent from Christ. You can sit in a pew, lift your hands, sing the songs, carry a Bible, know the language of church life—and still not know Jesus.

    Resurrection Sunday is glorious—but what about the Monday after? What happens in the hearts of disciples once the shouts of “He is risen!” fade into the quiet reality of daily life?

    Go! And Believe the Risen Lord - John 20:19–29 John 20:19–29 (NLT): 19 That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. 20 As he spoke, he showed them the ...read more

    Ten Commandments For Raising Children

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Aug 1, 2016
     | 8,407 views

    These Israelite parents were to teach their children obedience morning and night, so these words would not become a matter of formal legalism, but a response based upon understanding. Remember, obedience is formed when its a way of life.

    Ten Commandments for Raising Children Deuteronomy 6:6-7NKJB What My Parents Taught Me: My parents taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE: "If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside - I just finished cleaning!"

    My wife and I were traveling to see a musical in Charlotte, Mi Saturday. We’ve often felt a divine connection with the bald eagle. I recall numerous times when God would use the bald eagle to give me a nudge in the Spirit, or give me a sense of hope for the future. I saw eagles talon locking over ...read more

    A Mouth And Heart Matter

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 11, 2011
    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,236 views

    Jesus Christ taught that the path to heaven was very narrow and very few find it as many misguidedly choose to travel wrong paths. The bottom line is that salvation is a matter of the mouth and heart.

    A Mouth and Heart Matter Romans 10:1-13 The Philippian jailer asked in Acts 16, “What must I do to be saved?” Another way of asking this question is, “How do I get to go to heaven?” When people are asked this question a myriad of answers pour forth. Jesus Christ taught that ...read more

    Unity Of Believers

    Contributed by Warren Curry on Dec 19, 2024
     | 588 views

    Too many believers have been plagued by identity politics... Identifying oneself with a narrower description rather than what truly matters... Christian, child of God, follower of Jesus

    Christians, believers, disciples, followers, children of God, brethren, the church, saints, people of God and others… • Each of these terms are used in Scripture to describe those who belong to God • But not just belong to God, but belong to God through faith in Jesus Christ • Jesus is the unifying ...read more

    Christ calls His followers to be different. This morning I would challenge those of you who have entered the gate and are standing on the narrow road to travel the road and to dare to be different.

    DARE TO BE DIFFERENT Matthew 7:12-14 Introduction: “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.” The word that Jesus used for “narrow” in the phrase “narrow is the way” refers to a road that is “narrow and troublesome” to travel.
