     | 765 views

    If you find yourself thinking that "maybe" the Bible is not correct in some of the things it teaches us as Christians then you need to read this message as you might find yourself in a position where you are correcting God about something He has commanded.

    Autocorrecting God Scripture: Genesis 3:1-6; Genesis 5:1-3; Proverbs 14:12 Good morning, Strangers Rest!

    When People See Me - What Do They See?

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Sep 16, 2024
     | 3,011 views

    When people see us they immediately develop impressions of us. If we are a Christian, they will begin to look for Jesus in us. When that happens, will they see Him in our actions; our decisions; and our love for others?

    When People See Me – What Do They See? Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43; John 13:34-35 Good morning Strangers Rest. The title of my message today is, “When People See Me – What Do They See?” Now of course the obvious answer is they see us right? But is that true? Do they see “us,” or do they ...read more

     | 1,407 views

    In this series, we are going to talk about the many names of God.

    It is interesting to study the origin of names. Humor: We are told that the Chinese get their names for their children by throwing a metal pan against a block wall and when it lands on the floor making the noise “Ping Pong Wong” that is what they name their children. Of course, I am only ...read more

    This message looks at two "demon-possessed" men, discusses the translation "demonized," and provides a spiritual application on how to recognize the devil's activity, overcome Satan's attacks, and find deliverance.

    I want to get us started with some observations and an illustration by Neil T. Anderson, the president of Freedom in Christ Ministries. He says, “Psychologists and psychiatrists routinely see patients who are hearing voices: chemical imbalance is the standard diagnosis . . . But how can a chemical ...read more

    Jesus Does All Things Well Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 24, 2023
     | 3,431 views

    In this section of the Gospel of Mark, Mark shares two stories about Jesus ministering to two Gentiles. As Jesus ministered to them in unique and marvelous ways, we see how it is true that He does all things well. We can trust that Jesus will continue to do all things well in our lives.

    Introduction: A. I’m sure you have heard of the saying, “Jack of all trades and master of none.” 1. I wasn’t familiar with this version that says: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” I can see how that could be true. 2. I thought you would get a ...read more

    We’ve been looking at a series of parables from Luke’s gospel that have been leading to one of the most profound parables of them all; the story the rich man and Lazarus, or what I’m calling, “A Crypt-tic Tale.” Its moral is to listen to God now or regret if for eternity.
