     | 1,978 views

    God uses the small and faithful over the large and equipped to do His greatest work

    <The owl commercial launches the message> Did you know that that commercial is almost 50 years old? It’s memorable. It points to a question, provides a practical experiment and even an answer.

    How Is Jesus’ Way Different From The Law? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 8, 2021
     | 2,055 views

    This passage highlights how different what Jesus is bringing is from what the religious teachers were offering. How exactly is Jesus' way different?

    THE JEWS' PLAN: 1. THEIR SYSTEM WAS THE LAW. - John 7:21-24. - The miracle that is referred to in v. 21 is almost certainly the healing at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-15). John records miracles after that, but that was the miracle that brought out the issue of healing on the Sabbath. ...read more

    The Lords Supper: A Spiritual Banquet Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 7, 2016
     | 6,311 views

    By first looking at the mechanics of the Lord’s Supper, we can then move on to understand the truths associated with it.

    The Lord’s Supper: A Spiritual Banquet (Mark 14:22-25) 1. Mark’s account is by far the shortest account of the Lord’s Supper. Even Paul’s account in I Corinthians 11 is longer. The Lord’s Supper has always been an important and distinctive part of Christian worship. Early in church history, ...read more

     | 3,825 views

    God slams Israel for their actions, primarily trashing their treatment of the poor. What do we learn about how to respond in our own lives?

    A PERPETUAL TRUTH: The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. - Amos 5: 7, 10, 11, 12. - It’s a cliché for a reason. It’s the way of the world. - The poor typically get trampled. - Let’s look briefly at the specific accusations levied by God against Israel. a. v. 7 – “You who turn ...read more

    based on 1 rating

    We must strive to stay connected to His power in our lives because the world will pull us away. This awareness is our motivation to continually practice the Spiritual disciplines that draw us into His presence.

    Today we continue a 12 week series entitled, The ABC’s of faith. The larger idea is based on the idea that we learn over time through an exploration process of success and failure. Everything we come to know and understand is built over time on the foundation of trial and error. We learned last ...read more

    Death To Life

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 498 views

    God is a God of RESTORATION; He has imparted a spirit of FEARLESSNESS and DELIVERED us from imminent death. He has given us the assurance of Life and Life Abundant and Life Eternal.

    Illustration: God revived me when I was working in the Middle East. Until then, I was just a lukewarm and laid-back Christian. I saw the great need for the Gospel of Christ to be proclaimed to the lost souls there. They had no idea that they were perishing and there was only one way out – Jesus. ...read more

    The Construction Of A King's Character (1 Samuel 16:14-23)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2024
     | 795 views

    God used solitude, secrecy, sameness, and struggle to shape the character and faith of David for his future role as king of Israel. God can use tools like these to shape anyone who surrenders their life to Him.

    David had just been anointed as the next king of Israel by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:1-13), much to the amazement of his father and brothers. He had been in the fields of Judea tending the family flocks, seemingly consigned like the majority of the populace to live a life of productive ...read more

    Despite the difficulties we face in life, God's unconditional love is constant and He makes His home within us, making our journey worthwhile.

    Good morning, family! You know, I was thumbing through a book by Max Lucado last night, and he said something that just lit up my heart. He wrote: "God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile" (Max Lucado, God's Inspirational Promises). Isn't ...read more

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 30, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,876 views

    The concept of divine interruption is deeply rooted in Scripture and challenges us to trust in God's sovereignty over our lives. Are we willing to let God change our plans, redirect our steps, and shape our journey?

    Interrupted by God: Embracing Divine Disruptions Introduction: Today, we reflect on a powerful quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.” Bonhoeffer, a theologian who lived during a time of great crisis, understood the importance of yielding to ...read more

    A Way To Revival

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 25, 2025
     | 314 views

    Imagine a city so entrenched in its ways that the very notion of change seems radical, if not impossible. Yet, through the obedience of Jonah, a reluctant prophet, and the subsequent repentance of the Ninevites, we witness one of the most powerful revivals in biblical history.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: God revived me when I went to work in the Middle East. Till then I was just a lukewarm and laidback Christian. I saw the great need for the Gospel of Christ to be proclaimed to the so many lost souls there. They had no idea that they were perishing and there was only one way ...read more
