    Aristobulus And Narcissus Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 10, 2022
     | 1,457 views

    We do not know anything about these two persons, men of position evidently, who had large households. But learned commentators of the New Testament have advanced a very sensible conjecture concerning each of them.

    tom lowe 1/10/2022 Aristobulus and Narcissus Early Church Workers • Aristobulus was the grandson of Herod the Great and lived in Rome as a private citizen. • Since Paul does not greet him, but only those in his household, it is plausible to think he had either passed away or was not a ...read more

    A cowboy applied for health insurance. The agent routinely asked if he had any accidents during the previous year.

    The cowboy replied, “No, but I was bitten by a rattlesnake, and a horse kicked me in the ribs. That laid me up for a while.” The agent asked, “Weren’t those accidents?” The cowboy immediately replied, “No, they did it on purpose.” Today I want to show you, from this passage of scripture, ...read more

    Which Virgin Are You?

    Jesus gave us a clear description of the characteristics of two distinct types of Christians. By the characteristics mentioned which one are you?

    1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Christians are so used to not reading their bibles that they quickly fill up their heads with many versions of this ...read more

    Joy In Trials?!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 18, 2022
     | 2,764 views

    The idea that we could find joy in trials seems very strange. But it makes sense - and it could radically change the way we respond to the trials that inevitably come.

    We’ve now reached the last in our series of ‘Messages of Encouragement’. And we’ve come to a very difficult piece of teaching! ‘James’ – whoever James may be – tells us TO CONSIDER IT PURE JOY WHENEVER WE FACE TRIALS OF MANY KINDS! Wow! That sounds crazy! How can we understand it? The general ...read more

    Have You Had Your Wheaties Today?

    For years we were brain-washed to believe that if we really wanted to be a champion, we had to eat a certain kind of cereal. It was later revealed that the card board containers that held these cereals, had more vitamins than the cereal itself.

    Many had been misled by those television commercials with their popular endorsements. They had been told that if they would eat these cereals, they would one day be a champion. So many of the commercials today that we see, are deceiving and misleading. For example, they tell us that if we ...read more

    The Curse of Ham is described in the Book of Genesis as imposed by the patriarch Noah upon Ham's son Canaan. It occurs in the context of Noah's drunkenness and is provoked by a shameful act committed by Noah's son Ham, who "saw the nakedness of his father."

    Ham, Noah's Son Scholars believe Ham is the youngest of Noah's three sons. Ham asks his brothers to help cover Noah when drunk and naked. According to the Table of Nations in the Book of Genesis, Ham was the second son of Noah and the father of Cush, Mizoram, Phut, and Canaan. Flavius ...read more
