Contributed by Peter Loughman on Dec 29, 2008

Life is not meaningless, we gain meaning in life through the person of Jesus Christ.

The Rate Of Exchange

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 10, 2021

Jesus made it clear that you can gain everything the world has to offer, but it rusts, wears out, turns to dust, and you cannot take it with you after you die. If you lose your soul, however, you lose your life for eternity.

Humanity in its natural state really does not place much value on life, preferring to love death (Proverbs 8:36) in the form of abortions, murders, manslaughter, varied stages and types of physical, emotional, and mental abuse, and a placing on some individuals and groups a stigma of ...read more

Job 2

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 5, 2019

This is the second attempt by Satan to get Job to curse God after the first attempt failed. This shows that true lovers of the Lord will remain true lovers of the Lord, even in times of deep trouble or grief.

Last Sunday, we talked about how Job lost everything he had, including all physical property along with all his children. And how, even though he suffered, he did not blame God, but chose to worship God instead. Today, Satan gives him another test designed to test his loyalty to God, and we will ...read more

Contributed by David Flowers on Sep 28, 2008

Getting Feelings In Line Wildwind Community Church David Flowers August 30, 2008 We talked last week about the role our thoughts play in determining how we feel.

The Secret Of Joy In The Lord: "because Of Christ"

Contributed by Barnabas Park on May 23, 2025

True joy in the Lord is found not in our achievements or credentials, but in knowing, gaining Christ, and considering all things loss compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus.

The Return Of Christ Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 24, 2022

When a believer dies, others are not to grieve like those who have no hope in Christ. But for believers we are grieving for ourselves and our loss, not for the person that died. This assurance believers have is because of the hope we have in Christ.

Do we know the exact time of the return of the Lord? Yes, we do! But didn’t Jesus say, “that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven” (Mathew 24:36). Yes, He did say that. Then how do we know the day and hour of the return of Christ? It is when the trumpet sounds. It is just ...read more
