    We Christians need to find more and more effective ways to communicate the Gospel message.

    Thursday in Fourth Week of Easter 2016 Joy of the Gospel St. Paul is best known for his three missionary journeys and his journey to Rome. He was the evangelizer paradigm.

    Don't Waste Your Most Precious Possession Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 25, 2018
    based on 5 ratings
     | 53,671 views

    You haven't always existed; only God is eternal in both directions. Your soul will exist long after your physical life is over, either in heaven with God or in hell separated from God.

    INTRODUCTION What is your most precious possession? This world has plenty of expensive baubles and trinkets. Here are some actual things people own that they probably consider to be a precious possession. For instance, how about a gold-plated, diamond studded iPhone? The cost is $2.97 million and ...read more

    The Great Betrayal

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Feb 5, 2018
     | 10,052 views

    Judas first stole a few shekels and then made some more wrong choices until he was pulled deeper and deeper into depravity. Be careful about minimizing your sins because they may lead you to something even darker and more destructive.

    The month of February reminds me of my candidating weekend at Edgewood five years ago when you were checking me out and I was checking you out to see how God might be leading each of us. I think I preached at least five times, attended a number of groups and met with a ton of people. I still ...read more

    The thirst of Jesus on the cross reminds us that Jesus is human - which makes Him eligible to take our place and our punishment.

    Message John 19:28 I Thirst Talk about the effect of the drought in Australia We understand what happens when you remove water from the land. We have this vast land called the outback. Beautiful yet it can be deadly. Move on to drought in other nations. Everyone in Australia has relatively easy ...read more

    Where do you hide your emergency house key?

    What happens with man's thinking regarding themselves and animals when God is omitted?

    Job 40 God, Man, and Beast – Part 1 God spoke in Job Chapters 38-41 to challenge Job and in a way God challenges all people (including every person today), by asking questions which only God can truly answer! The point of God’s questioning is: No matter how smart, how religious, how ambitious a ...read more

    We have to solve the problem back at the source of the problem. And that’s the human mind and heart.

    Ascension Sunday 2019 “Let us then be children no longer, tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of . . .human trickery.” If you’ve ever been a supervisor of little boys, you know what St. Paul is writing about to the Ephesians.

    What if the wrong people end up in charge, in control of our government, your work, your school or whatever organization you are involved with? How will you respond?

    We’re in an election year again. In the midst of the Pandemic, the Democratic National Convention occurred virtually this week and dominated all the major TV networks.

    Secularism And The Fight For The Family Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 7, 2015
     | 4,328 views

    The information-driven society is one that tries to secularize and pervert the human family into something it can never become.

    Thursday of 5th week in Course 2015 Joy of the Gospel Jesus has such a sense of humor that some commentators have mistaken it for cruelty. Of course, Jesus never sinned, so thinking this comment about throwing the bread to the dogs is a real insult is wrongheaded thinking. In reality, Jesus was ...read more

     | 2,630 views

    Jesus went willingly to His death for our sakes, to fulfill the covenant obligation God freely took on with Abraham.

    We killed Him. O, I know the Roman procurator read the sentence, and Roman soldiers beat Jesus and crowned Him with thorns and hammered in the nails. They were what philosophers would call the “efficient cause” of Christ’s death. But Adam and Eve and David and Caligula and ...read more

    How Good Friday Is Good For Us

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 4, 2015
     | 5,584 views

    Jesus sees all our sins, but because he had made the ultimate sacrifice with his blood, we can have forgiveness. Christ is the sin eater who has taken care of all our sins, and that is another reason why Good Friday is good for us.

    What is so good about Good Friday? That is the question many of us probably ask when Good Friday comes around every year. After all, what is good about a day that commemorates Jesus' horrible torture and execution on a Roman cross? Good Friday is a dark day in some respects because it ...read more
