- Opening Remarks and Introduction Last week we started a new series called “Love Does” based on a book of that same title by the author Bob Goff.

The Failed Father Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 17, 2023

When it comes to fatherhood, bad examples from Scripture can be good examples, once you know what a failed father has done wrong. Eli was a bad example. But what did he do wrong, and what can we learn from him so we can build better fathers?

Someone once said that everyone is an example to others - some are GOOD examples, and some are BAD. And, believe it or not, bad examples can be good examples for us. For example, Eli was a “GOOD EXAMPLE” of a bad example of how to be a father. But before we get to Eli’s story (and what we can ...read more

A Second Chance For The Human Race

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 22, 2016

Adam, son of God, failed in the Garden. Israel, son of God, rebelled in the wilderness. Jesus the Son of God, on behalf of us all, won the battle against temptation in the wilderness. Believers in Jesus are also called sons of God, so how must we live?

A SECOND CHANCE FOR THE HUMAN RACE. Luke 4:1-13. Man was always going to get a second chance after the Fall of Adam. God made a promise concerning the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15), and ‘that seed was Christ’ (cf. Galatians 3:16; Galatians 3:29). We see in the temptation of Jesus a new Adam ...read more

Only Human Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Sep 14, 2012

Paul tells the Corinth believers that they are not ready for solid food, not because their digestion system has not developed but because of attitude.
