    24 Eyes Can See So Differingly?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Sep 17, 2016
     | 4,740 views

    Have we allowed negativism to take root. 24 eyes see the promise land... only 4 eyes see the God of the promise. Where are we focusing? What are we expecting?

    24 EYES? 20 EYES DECLARE: WE ARE NOT ABLE! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. I.

    Manipulation By Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 26, 2016
     | 5,858 views

    Manipulation is a dishonest method to control others, get our way, or make others think an idea was theirs; it stands in contrast to making honest straightforward requests. Manipulation by guilt is perhaps the most common form of manipulation.

    Manipulation by Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests (topical) 1. A lot of persuasion — even in church — can be based upon emotion and a lack of logic. “Pastor Smith was winding up his sermon about the dangers of alcohol and the need for temperance. He shouted, 'If I had all the ...read more

    1 of 11. Joshua had twelve stones removed from the Jordan River as a memorial to the crossing. Memorials or Spiritual Reminders hold a great deal of significance to God’s people. But what is significant about them? Mere Stones can transport us to...

    Deborah provides us with a terrific example of courage.

    We're looking at the lives of Old Testament believers as we think about characteristics God wants to develop in us. Today, we're thinking about courage. A good, biblical definition of courage would be, "the strength to obey God even when I'm afraid and things are difficult." Today, we're ...read more

     | 5,404 views

    Watchman, what of the night? We are called of God to warn people while we stand on the wall staying ready, watching, and being vigilant. We are to give a clear warning of the consequences of sin.

    This is part #3: READY, WATCHING AND WAITING (NOT WARNING) By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com We have used for our text verse: 1 Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

    The Value Of Hard Work

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 13, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 36,295 views

    Serving the Lord is a lifelong mission, although the nature of the work may change. God only holds us responsible for what we can do. Yet, if we pay attention, he will provide an opportunity to serve him every day in some way. (Great for Labor Day)

    The Value of Hard Work 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13 Today we will focus on the cure for idleness, and here are my favorite thoughts on the subject: “Yesterday I did nothing and today I'm finishing what I did yesterday.” “If I won the award for laziness, I would send somebody to pick ...read more

    "A New Attitude"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 19, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,407 views

    It is a fact that the God of the universe loved us so much that one day he stepped out of heaven, taking on the very nature of a servant, made in the likeness of man and started the journey toward his death on the cross.

    “A New Attitude” Philippians 2:5-11 The story is told of a young girl who was playing outside on the sidewall when she noticed a long line of ants crawling across, from one side of the sidewalk to the other. The ants got to the other side, one by one they fell off to the ground. So she ran inside ...read more

    Jehovah M'kaddesh, God Who Sanctifies Series

    Contributed by Paul Basehore on Feb 5, 2015
     | 16,525 views

    God demands holiness, but He understands that we cannot be holy on our own. He promised us (and He always fulfills His promises!) that He is Jehovah M’Kaddesh, God who Sanctifies. Only through God can we be sanctified.

    Since we were all small children, we were taught that things fall. I drop a pen, it falls to the ground. In fact, everything in this world, at some point, falls down, right? In Tucurui, Brazil though, sometimes things fall up. I’m serious! Lumberjacks in the area cut trees, but don’t ...read more

    A Brief Glimpse Of Heaven

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 13, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,073 views

    In order for us to understand the resurrection, we have to expand our ideas about who and what God is and what we can do. We can’t limit God with our own limited human reasoning. God continually surprises us. The future he has planned for us is glorious.

    Have you ever wondered about what life will be like in heaven after we die? If so, you’ll be interested in what Jesus has to say about the subject in the passage from Luke 20:27-38. The Sadducees’ question about the resurrection was a ridiculous one because the Sadducees did not ...read more

    Give Some Latitude For Gratitude

    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,639 views

    We tend to be ungrateful and forget the One who has blessed us so abundantly. Jesus teaches us to be grateful in this account of the ten lepers' cleansing.

    1. Thankless Tasks: A man stood writing at the post office counter one day when an older man shuffled up to him with a postcard in his hand.
