    Nothing can compare to the love God has shown us in Christ.

    John 3:16 is, perhaps, the most familiar verse in the Bible. Here in the United States many people can quote the verse. Of those who cannot quote it, many are at least familiar with the reference, if only because they have seen it displayed so often in the end zone of football stadiums. Yet, I am ...read more

    A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

    PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS: BECOMING PEACEMAKERS A. Today we are studying the seventh Beatitude in our series, BECOMING PEACEMAKERS. ILLUSTRATION: There was a man being held by BANK ROBBERS who, as he was HIKING deep into the woods, stumbled onto an OLD CABIN and found the MONEY they had STOLEN ...read more

    David The Warrior Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 21, 2024
     | 214 views

    David's experience as a warrior is unparalleled. There is a huge amount we can learn from him when it comes to fighting battles. The biggest lesson of all is that the decisive factor in a battle is God being with us.

    INTRODUCTION Today we’re returning to our series on ‘Learning from David’ and looking at the subject of ‘David the warrior.’ I thought we’d look at this subject this way. We’ll start by thinking about David and consider three questions. Did David fight? Why did he fight? And how did he fight? ...read more

    The command to become poor for the Gospel’s sake is really a liberation to preach the Gospel.

    Tuesday of Second Week in Easter John 3 Today’s reading from Acts is a little scary. We always worry about the preaching of the Gospel, lest it impact on our lifestyle. It looks today as if Luke is telling us to sell our property and give it to the poor or to the community for the poor. A ...read more

    Learning how to be the church in today's world through learning from the book of Acts.

    [2] How long is eternity? Think about it. Just how long is eternity? Can we even wrap our minds around how immeasurable the eons of time will be in eternity? I think we’re such a time-obsessed culture that it’s hard for us to imagine anything besides finite time. Think about it, ...read more

    There is a small similarity between Saul’s conversion and that of the Ethiopian eunuch. They were both converted on a road. One of the differences in these two conversion is that the Ethiopian eunuch was converted in a chariot, and Saul was converted laying on the ground. It is a marvelous thing ...read more
