Unity: An Essential

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 8, 2001

Unity, according to Jesus, is essential for the well-being and success of any institution. This is especially true of the family and the Church.

Christ made a profound statement rgarding the importance of unity in MARK 3:24-25. Let us stop to examine the context of this statement. Jesus had just cast-out demons from a fellow.

Sermon # 20 - A Repentant Heart Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 25, 2024

Jonah was brought to the depths and after being battered in the belly of a big fish, Jonah repented and turned back to God. Rebellion is detrimental to us and only those who repent and get back to God can fulfill His purposes for their lives.

For this study and meditation we will read, Jonah 1:17, “When Jonah fell into the sea, the LORD chose a very big fish to swallow Jonah. He was in the stomach of the fish for three days and three nights.” (ERV) When Jonah disobeyed God, and voyaged in the opposite direction to the place God bid him ...read more

Why Paul Preached The Gospel

Contributed by Keith Linkous on Jun 22, 2002

Paul said, "Woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel." This not only speaks to ministers, but confronts the laity of their responsibility to share the good news.

I want to spend a few minutes tonight looking at this verse, even dissecting it a little bit, to bring it into an applicable understanding for all of us. Because when we read words like “preach,” and we do not have a life calling to stand in a pulpit like myself, we can sometimes shrink back ...read more
