Teamwork In Transit To Jesus (2022 Version)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 20, 2022

The paralytic in Mark 2:1-12 had paralysis that was obviously caused by his sin. His suffering and his sin were somehow connected. That is why Jesus enables the paralyzed man to experience healing as forgiveness.

TEAMWORK IN TRANSIT TO JESUS Text: Mark 2:1-12 Mark 2:1-12  When he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.  (2)  So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even in front of the door; and he was speaking the word to ...read more

A Crack Pot Or A Cracked Pot

Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014

God can use our cracks, our flaws to spread the Living Water to those in the world around us. When we live our faith, when we show our faith, the Living Water is pouring from us, despite our condition, to change the world.

Just in case you didn’t know, according to Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary, a crackpot is defined as “a person who is crazy or very strange.” I am sure this was not a news flash for just about anyone here this morning. I spent quite a bit of time this past week trying ...read more

The Cross Proclaims A Grace-Driven Purpose

Contributed by Richard Burkey on Jul 6, 2005

God Delights In Bad Odds

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 20, 2022

The more unlikely the situation (if we pray), the better God likes it. God likes to show His hand, but He won’t do it unless we step out and depend on Him to come through in order for us have success. God likes the “come-from-behind” position.

Opportunities, Assistance & Amnesia Series

Contributed by Josh Foster on Mar 12, 2014
