    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 10, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,006 views

    The churches of this day confront broken humanity. Whether we attempt to touch those who are broken through our wealth or with the power of Christ depends upon how we see ourselves as servants of the Lord.

    “Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple.

     | 4,390 views

    The reason why there is so much muck in the world is due to the battle of the wills. Jesus wants this to be different. But for it to be different—we need to surrender our wills to his wills and be like him.

    Nothing is too hard for God!

    My understanding is that Islamics and even some groups who use the term Christian have a problem with Jesus being the Son of God. After all, one means one how can God have a Son?

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 4,056 views

    We love immoral people by holding on to what we believe and sympathizing with the weaknesses of others because we know what our weaknesses are.

    Jesus says the most important command of God for us to obey is this, “To love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and to love others.” So for the last few weeks we’ve taken some time to define what this kind of love is. We can summarize our last few lessons this way, ...read more

    Contributed by Robert Henrich on Mar 19, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,158 views

    The ’stones’ on the gospel road – those difficult verses we stumble over or just pass by – are treasures if we take the time to stop and pick them up; two such ‘stones’ in the story of the raising of Lazarus speak of the intensity of Jesus’ love for us.
