Show Grace To Mean, Evil People (Titus 3:1-8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 10, 2022

Titus 3:4-5 are rightly celebrated, but in a way that usually misses Paul's point. Show grace to mean people, recognizing that those people are like you used to be, before God washed you and gave you his Spirit.

Last week, in Paul's letter to Titus, chapter 2, we read how Paul told Titus to set up the church, and the families within the church, to look like the ideal first century Roman household. Especially when you're a fringe religious group, but probably always, it's important to live in a ...read more

How Jesus Conducted Funerals

Contributed by Brian Atwood on Feb 21, 2003

The example of the Master in being a comfort to people who have suffered loss.

(John 11:25) He did, however, come to the aid of those in sorrow over death, and by so doing left a great example for those of us who ...read more

How To Witness To Skeptics

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jan 8, 2003

Don't Let Your Haters Get You Down

Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 14, 2013

It is a great mystery to me; I truly cannot understand how people with Jesus in their hearts can be so hateful and hurtful towards one another? How can they be so impatient and angry at each other? When that should love each other instead.

I Don't Believe It's Over

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jan 23, 2023

Let me start by saying the battles, the struggles, the warfare that you see and experience in the world today, it's not really about us fighting the devil.
