    What's Going On When God's People Suffer?

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Mar 28, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,252 views

    There are multiple spiritual dynamics to suffering that goes beneath the surface.

    What's going on when God's people suffer? Holy Week is about suffering. It is specifically about the suffering of Jesus, but I believe it like the season of Lent is also about our own mortality. It is a time to reflect on our moral place in life and on the humanity of what we endure, waiting for ...read more

    Complete In Jesus

     | 4,083 views

    Have you ever questioned your salvation? As long as we keep our trust totally in Christ, we stand assured of God’s promise of eternal life. But as soon as we rest any weight on the thin ice of our own efforts, we topple into insecurity.

    Have you ever wondered about your salvation; about whether or not you are going to heaven when you die? Some questions we might have are, “What am I supposed to do in order to gain God’s acceptance and love?” “Do I have to read the Bible all the way through?” “Do I have to knock on a million ...read more

    Religion Vs. Relationship

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,810 views

    This message contrasts religion and relationship, showing that religion is not to be desired. However, a relationship with Jesus is to be highly treasured. Why? Religion brings about death, but relationship brings about life.

    Whenever you hear of the word “religion,” what comes to mind? Perhaps attending a church service, someone worshipping a Buddha statue, a baptismal service, someone reciting a chant or prayer, someone fasting, people praying to the east every hour, someone making an animal sacrifice, or someone ...read more

    Matthew 11:28-30 is a well known passage but what are these yokes and how does the Lord fit our yoke? Several examples of biblical yokes are given and we close with the personal "Yoke Maker" and "Yoke Fitter". All the Lord does for you is good.

    There's part of this story of the fiery furnace that I'd always missed. There was one question upon which everything else hinged - not only in this story but also in our lives. Do you know what that question is?

    When my sister Barbranne was in her early 20’s she left the Church and Jesus behind and went off to live the “wild life.” At age 55 she decided she’d hurt herself in that decision and started going back to church. One of the first things she did was to buy a Children’s Bible because she wanted to ...read more
