    Destroying Your Enemy

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 8, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,894 views

    Obeying Jesus’ command to love our enemies doesn’t come naturally, however. Often our first response is to retaliate. The best way - the Christ-like way - to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend! To melt an enemy, try the warmth of love.

    Opening illustration: There is a story told of two shopkeepers. Their stores were across the street from each other, and the two had a bitter rivalry.

    When The Grinch Did Whoville A Favor Series

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 16, 2018
     | 5,265 views

    When the Grinch stole Christmas, it was one of the best things he could have done, because, it not only reminded the citizens of Whoville of the real meaning of Christmas, but it also brought a revelation to the Grinch himself that Christmas was, perhaps, something much more!

    WHEN THE GRINCH DID WHOVILLE A FAVOR Lk. 2:6-14 INTRODUCTION A. CHRISTMAS QUIZ See how well we know the facts about the first Christmas: 1. When Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem, how did they get there? a. They walked b. Joseph walked; Mary rode a donkey c. They took a chariot ...read more

    Jesus And David Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,640 views

    All early Christians understood that Jesus was a descendant of David; but He did not derive his authority from his personal ancestry. The Messiah must be thought of, not as a national monarch but as the lord of all, exalted far above David.

    -Tuesday- Jerusalem Jesus and David (Psalm 110:1) Matthew 22:41-46 (focal passage), Mark 12:35-37, Luke 20:41-44 Matthew 22:41-46 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ?

     | 11,140 views

    It's the Last Sunday of the Church Year/Christ the King Sunday. Jesus speaks of separating the sheep & goats on the last day. The question on people's minds: Am I a sheep or a goat? (From our lectionary-based series for November 2017, "BE the Church.")

    The Word of God that engages us today—on this Christ the King Sunday—is our Gospel read-ing, from Matthew 25. We’ve been looking at this chapter for a couple of weeks. And now we get to this section: the separation of the sheep and the goats. And it’s a difficult text. Not difficult to understand, ...read more

    When Jesus calls us to follow Him, that call is costly, but rewarding!

    Understanding your audience is important! But while it is EASY to see this in MISSIONS, we fail to apply this to evangelism!

    Let me share a fictitious story about two missionaries and their approach to missions. These two missionary couples are not real. Their stories however are very real and reflect a variety of common missionary situations. To add simplicity (and a small degree of good-heartedness) to our story, ...read more

    This world in which we live, wants to draw us in then destroy our witness, our service to the Lord, our very Christian liives.

    Living the Christian life in a world that is opposed to all things Christian is not easy. The morals and the values of a Christian living out their faith will stick out like a sore thumb.

    Some Christians put on “sneakers,” “running shoes,” “flip-flops,” and “baby-shoes” – when what we ought to be putting on is combat boots! Full of anecdotes, illustrations, and good humor.
