Develop Healthy Partnerships Series

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Jul 24, 2012

Losers Win! Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 19, 2018

When you fail, don’t try to save yourself. Instead, realize you’re a loser (we all are), and rely on the Lord to turn your failure into victory!

Recently, I came across some cynical observations on life and work: Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool; the early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese; borrow money from a pessimist – they don't expect it back; if at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence ...read more

The Lord Is My Shepherd (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 9, 2020

Matthew 1:1-17 teaches us that Jesus is the Christ that the people of God were anticipating.

Live As Sheep Of The Good Shepherd

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 9, 2022

Do we really know what it means to be sheep—even sheep of the Good Shepherd?

An Overwhelming Minority. Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021
