Why People See Christians As Weak Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Boasting or bragging is excluded because it elevates you to the pinnacle of importance. It’s sad to say this, but religion is a great place to do just this – to brag about one’s morality

“For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low ...read more

Fools In The Bible

Contributed by Bo Dunford on Feb 18, 2021

People who don't want God in their life are called fools.

PSALM 53:1 “FOOLS IN THE BIBLE” A) The first thing that I would like to do is define the word “fool.” * In Psa. 53:1, and all other Old Testament passages, the word fool is the Hebrew word “nabal,” (naw-bawl’) and it means, “a stupid, wicked, vile person.” * Of course “vile” means, “morally ...read more

Blessings Series

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 29, 2023

• A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that when greeting people some people reply “I am blessed”. • Today's message is titled "Blessings"

• A few months ago, in a message titled “The Danger in the Miracle”, I shared that I would rather live from blessing to blessing, instead of miracle to miracle. • I explained it like this: • A blessing is still God’s power, but it flows through natural channels. Blessings are better that ...read more

Blessings And Curses

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 8, 2024

Jesus, true God and true man, took on the curse of the cross and the grace He won saves you from the curse of the Law. Don’t try to add on to your faith by the Law, because you’ll just bring the curse of the Law back on yourselves.

Friday of the 27th week in Course 2024 We should begin any homily on the Letter to the Galatians with a reminder that this church in Asia Minor was in a kind of turmoil because of some itinerant Jewish Christian preachers. These folks came to town after St. Paul taught them the basics of Christian ...read more

Looking For A Clean Stall

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 1, 2002

Many lose life in wishing for something else, and waste what is in their hands.

I ponder today, Searching for a clean stall. Too many of our hearts mourn over what we do not have, because our eyes and hearts fail to see what we do have. We pray more for things than people. Happiness becomes our goal. Several have told me in the last few days, "I just want to be happy!" This ...read more

Weeping About The Future

Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 2, 2015

Our job as Christians is to tell people about God and to try to lead them to Christ. Sometimes it means steering them to redemption. Do we actually reach out to them with this in mind? Do we seek a radical change in their hearts? Do we warn people?

The Book of Jeremiah is a book full of dark prophecies of doom and gloom. Jeremiah is a heartbroken prophet with a heartbreaking message. The people of Israel had forgotten God and refused to listen for his voice. They were locked into their old way of doing things. We are the same. Sometimes ...read more

Children And Parents (Ephesians 6:1-4) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 15, 2025

Children obey, and parents (not just fathers) are to instruct in a way that doesn't make their kids angry. Is that even possible? Also: fathers are not the spiritual heads of the house.

Today, we get to continue our Ephesians study by reading about what Paul has to say to one additional pairing in the typical Roman household. Paul addresses children, and parents. The last two weeks, we focused on husbands and wives. We saw that when Paul addressed husbands and wives, he did ...read more

The Lost Sheep

Contributed by Joanna Beveridge on Nov 22, 2006

When Jesus compares us to sheep, it may not be flattering, but it is apt.

Sheep don’t have a very good image, do they? If I asked what your favourite animal was, I doubt very much that any of you would say “sheep”. Our view of sheep is somewhat negative. We don’t say positive things like “Oh, he’s as strong as a sheep” or “She’s as wise as a sheep”. How about “as ...read more
