First Christmas Risk-Takers

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 21, 2011

"The Man & His Wife...were Not Ashamed." By Dr. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Apr 5, 2005

Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure. When are we going to admit that we are responsible for our sin actions rather than shift the blame as did the first couple of Genesis. Let’s examine the facts together!

Introduction We’d all like to say, "It was their fault..." We’re always looking for someone else to blame. Blame shifting is what we do best. No one wants to accept responsibility for their own actions. It’s has always been, "Someone elses fault..." This isn’t something new either. It dates as ...read more

Sifted ... But Saved

Come Out Of Hiding - Part 2

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 25, 2011

For some of us, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a reminder, not of the victory over death, but the death of victory in our lives. We fear really relishing in the resurrection because of our own failures, fears, and weaknesses. If that's you, then I've

The first Resurrection Sunday was not a happy day for the most part. For the disciples it was a day to cower in fear that they were next to be hauled away and crucified. It was a day of extreme sorrow for the women who loved Jesus so. It was a day of fear and dread for the Roman soldiers who ...read more

Scars To Show

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 29, 2014

A perspective on John 20: 19-23. Jesus showed them his hands and side, the scars of his torment and death on the cross. This would have been an uncomfortable moment for them as they remembered their failures, abandonment, and lack of faith in Jesus.

The Burning Bush Call Of Moses Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 3, 2022

Moses put his neck on the line once. And he felt like a failure. Is he willing to be that vulnerable again? Is he willing to trust God with his life? That is the challenge of Moses. That is the challenge for everyone who follows the call of God.

The call of God is as unique for every individual as is every person. For Gideon it was the fleece and that differs widely from Ezekiel and his lofty falling facedown vision of the throne of God. Isaiah with the burning coal placed on his lips differs from Paul on the Damascus Road and his ...read more
