Jesus Is Exhausted Series

Contributed by David Smith on Aug 7, 2009

Jesus said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat! (Mark 6:31)

I’ve had days like that (indeed, ...read more

Spiritual Corrections For The Modern Church

Contributed by Stephen Funderburk on Dec 10, 2006

Paul’s corrections of the church in Corinth

Intro: an amazing fact about the letters of Paul to the churches that most people want to over-look, is the fact that a lot of what he said was corrective in nature. I know he had mushy intro’s and long gooshy good-byes, but the meat of the letter was instruction, and reproof and correction. Since ...read more

Who Cares?

Contributed by Steve Ely on Jul 28, 2011

ver felt like no one cares? We all have those "Who Cares?" moments when we aren’t even sure that God really cares. Take heart . . . He cares, He is with us, He is still able!

Who Cares? It is an interesting phrase. Just the tone with which it is spoken can determine its intention and meaning. It can be used to show disdain and lack of concern. I can remember in high school our girl’s basketball team made the state playoffs and while the other team’s players were being ...read more
