    Happy Birthday Herod!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 14, 2016
     | 9,676 views

    Herod had a birthday party, but ended up paying for it instead of receiving. It's a story of unforgiveness, a seductive dance, and a well-intentioned man who by compromise was pulled into grave sin.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEROD! Mk. 6:17-28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: PLAYPEN 1. A young mother complained to her friend about the difficulties of child rearing, especially the lack of peace and constant pestering by her small children. 2.

    We don't witness because we see only downsides; yet many will go to their graves without faith unless lay people preach the Gospel by word and deed

    Monday of 10th Week in Course 7 June 2010 You Will Be My Witnesses Why do we hesitate to boldly share our faith with those we meet? I think the reason is that we see only personal downsides to the action. Elijah spoke the word of God to the king of Israel. We’ve forgotten the king, but we ...read more

    What kind of a gift are you leaving for your children and for those who are around you. What kind of words will speak from beyond the grave when you are no longer able to speak.

    Jesus arrives late to see Lazarus after he's been in the grave for four days. If only He had been there earlier? No. His timing was just right.

    Baptism: United With Christ

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 25, 2025
     | 176 views

    Through baptism, believers are invited into the death of Jesus, putting to rest their former selves ruled by sin. This act is not the end but the gateway to a resurrection life, mirroring Christ’s victory over the grave.

    INTRODUCTION: We acknowledge the strongholds that have gripped this generation: addictions, mental illness, anxiety, demonic oppression, depression, toxicity in our environment, fractured relationships, and lives merely surviving rather than thriving. These and many alike are physical and emotional ...read more
