    This is the season of Peace. Peace on earth, good will toward men. Peace is the most sought-after ‘commodity’ in our hectic lives. Mankind will go to great lengths to compromise for the sake of peace.

    Contributed by Luskey Green on Sep 23, 2006
     | 3,037 views

    We all struggle to be better, to improve, etc. But struggling in becoming a disciple is a product of pride. The sooner we understand this, the sooner we can make struggle an asset rather than a liability.

    Introduction Where are we today? I mean by that, in our study about the Christ and His Church, are we making progress? Are we moving toward Christ or are we satisfied to stay back, keeping our distance? Are we unsure we are willing to make the kind of commitment Jesus Christ wants of us? It is ...read more

    As we study the Sabbath law, we remember that God gives us laws for our benefit. We Christians still follow the 3rd Commandment. So 1 - Remember to obey it. 2 - Remember to benefit from it.

    Pentecost 2 Deuteronomy 5:12-15 Let’s say that you had a friend at work that you found out was a Christian.

    The Parable Of The Sower

    Contributed by Paul George on Jan 29, 2004
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,759 views

    "Behold, the sower went out to sow." Missing from this parable are the words, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to.”

    "Behold, the sower went out to sow." Missing from this parable are the words, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to.” There must be some good reason why Jesus omitted these words from the first parable. The reason why they are omitted is not a mystery. The kingdom of heaven is an expression ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,846 views

    Our view of leadership is that it is aggressive, know-it-all. But in reality it is bearing witness to God’s power, not our own; and leaders are qualified to be leaders by what they do NOT know.

    based on 20 ratings
     | 3,684 views

    One of the ways we get in “shape” for God is as the Spirit transforms us as we discover and utilize our spiritual gifts for our place “on the team.”

    At a recent “Y” league basketball practice one of the boys’ coaches began to ask them questions about the game. “What is offense?” “What is defense?” And he explained what it means to be on defense and what it means to be on offense.
