    The Feeding God's Sheep

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 14, 2021
     | 1,893 views

    We often hear Christians say that they believe the Lord Jesus is coming soon to gather His church. When some Christians say that, it makes you wonder why they say that. I say this because their life-styles do not reflect that they believe He is going to come very soon.

    Many live their lives as we did as children. Illus: If our parents had to go somewhere, before they left they gave us chores to do while they were gone. But once they were gone, we did pretty much what we wanted to do. But then someone would say, “Here comes Dad and Mom!” All of a sudden we ...read more

    As ministers together in the gospel of Christ, if we fall into arguing amongst ourselves, we have lost focus and we are fighting the wrong enemy. We are all on the same team. Sometimes small things need to be let go in favor of confronting larger issues.

    As we have followed the new disciples of Jesus, we have seen a number of important lessons taught and demonstrated. These early lessons are from the book of John: • Jesus changes your perspective • Jesus gains your faith as a friend • Jesus spends time with family • Jesus introduces us to ...read more

     | 2,066 views

    This little passage of scripture is loaded with wonderful teachings about the Lord Jesus Christ. Some believe it is one of the greatest passages in the Bible concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.

    It gives us a picture of the humility of Christ like we have never seen before. If the church today is ever going to accomplish anything for the Lord, we are going to have to know and possess the humility of Christ. Illus: Some of the New Testament Christians caught this vision. The attitude of ...read more

    Living A God-Centered Life Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 18, 2021
     | 6,853 views

    Our sinful nature and the world we live in teaches us to be self-centered. We are prone to think it is all about us, but it is not. It's all about God. In this series based on Max Lucado's book, It's Not About Me, we will explore how to live a God-centered life.

    A. Have you heard about the guy who said, “Some people call me self-centered, but that’s enough about them”? 1. Maybe you’ve known someone like that – someone who lived life like it was all about them. 2. To be honest, there was a time in my life when I was way too much like that. B. I heard a ...read more

    Wherever the Holy Spirit says "Yes" in the scripture, he says "Yes" also through prophecy. And wherever he says "No" in the scripture, he says "No" also through prophecy. True prophecy never contradicts the scripture.
