    Vince Lombardi, the football coach, goes down in the history books as one of the all-time greats, if not the greatest, coach ever.

    Today we have a lot of MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS in the pulpit. The reason they are motivational speakers they do not know enough of the Word of God to be a Bible preacher. But the apostle Paul was a MOTIVATIONAL PREACHER, and we can see that clearly in his writing to the THESSALONIANS. Illus: Vince ...read more

    A Sunday school teacher told his class the story in the Bible of the rich man and Lazarus.

    He explained that the wealthy man had: • Wonderful clothes, • Lived in luxury • Had all the food he could eat But he had no compassion for Lazarus, who was a beggar. Lazarus was so poor that he ate the crumbs from the rich man’s table. • Later in their lives, the rich man ended up dying and ...read more

    This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon. The Bible studies teach foundational truth that are designed to challenge, encourage and, most importantly, flame the fire of hunger in the Christian who wants to learn more about who they have become in Christ Jesus.

    based on 1 rating
     | 269 views

    Peter gives us a description of how elders should carry out their work. They are shepherds, not administrators.

    As most of you know, my personal biography includes many years as a manager in a large organization, and part of my job was to interview and hire people. Over the years, as the jobs that I was responsible to fill got higher up in the organization, the job descriptions expanded. The years of ...read more

    It's Not Your Battle

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 27, 2025
     | 200 views

    God fights the battles we cannot win, turning fear into faith, valleys into blessing, and surrender into miraculous victory through His power.

    INTRODUCTION — WHEN LIFE SURROUNDS YOU There comes a moment in every believer’s life when the pressure is so great, the crisis so overwhelming, that even the strongest, most seasoned saint whispers under their breath, “Lord… I can’t do this.” We might not admit it in public, but we’ve all felt it. ...read more

    Spiritual Warfare Series

    Satan is real, not a metaphor. But he is not an independent force for evil; he is a created being, and therefore under God's sovereign control. Here is what Peter tells us about how to defeat him.

    We live in a rationalistic age. We live at a time when a purely materialistic view of the world is the one commonly accepted, a time when talk of the supernatural is dismissed as nothing more than fables and legends, myths and superstitions; the archaic remnants of a medieval world view.

    Why Reaching The Top Still Feels So Empty

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025
     | 142 views

    Success cannot heal the soul; only God’s whisper restores us. When we quit running, God meets us, feeds us, and makes us whole.

    Part One There are moments in life when you do everything right—moments when the victory is undeniable, the applause is loud, the outcome is clear—and yet something inside you feels strangely hollow. It’s bewildering. You should feel triumphant, settled, validated. But instead, the deepest parts ...read more

    Why Did God Choose The Shepherds? Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 11, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,264 views

    Time and time again in the Scriptures, we see that God chooses the most unlikely candidates to serve him - David the shepherd to be king, fishermen to be apostles, and in this passage, the lowly shepherds to be the first to meet the newborn Christ child. Why?

    One of the things I enjoy most about Biblical narrative—that is, the historical accounts in the Old and New Testament—is how often God does something completely unexpected. These can be surprising, or revealing, or thought-provoking. And sometimes they’re quite funny, as when God gave Balaam’s ...read more

    Trust And Obey

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 5, 2026
     | 114 views

    Faith is more than words. I can say that I believe all day long but at some point, I have to actually step out in faith. That's how I know that my faith is real but that it is strong enough to hold me up and sustain me no matter what's going on in my life.

    Basically, I grew up in upstate New York. There were some woods at the end of the street and there was a pond more or less in the middle of it. In the winter, we would skate on it and play hockey. The thing is ... as we gathered on the edge of the pond, we always had the same debate: Was the ...read more
