    Beware Of Halloween Alternatives! Series

    Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 16, 2021
     | 2,590 views

    Ultimately, Christian participation in Halloween is a matter of conscience before God. Whatever level of Halloween participation you choose, you must honor God by keeping yourself separate from the world and by showing mercy to those who are perishing.

    Halloween Evangelism There are several different ways Christians will engage in Halloween evangelism. Some will adopt a "No Participation" policy. As Christian parents, they don't want their kids participating in spiritually compromising activities—listening to ghost stories and ...read more

    What about those who find themselves in possession of wealth that had some evil attached. What do you do with that property?

    Saturday of the 31st week in course 2023 Saint Paul wrote his letter to the Church at Rome during his lengthy stay with the Church of Corinth, so this happened late in his third and final missionary journey. Today we are offered a delightful look into Paul’s life, as he lists, one after another, ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER THIRTY OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is eight additional sons of Jacob are born (four were born in chapter 29) and Jacob makes an arrangement with Laban. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 30 Jacob begets Dan and Naphtali, of Bilhah: Gad and Asher, of Zilpah. Leah ...read more

    As Jesus moved through Galilee, and later Judea, “a multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were diseased.”

    Friday of the Second Week in Easter Season 2025 “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear?” The words of the psalmist are woven into both of our NT readings today. St. Luke and St. John tell the story for us to hear and believe, and the psalmist gives us the words for all of us to ...read more

    Like last Sunday, today’s pericope looks at statements made by Jesus not long before His arrest and passion, as Christ focuses our attention on the “last days.”

    First Sunday of Advent 2024 One of the most obvious signs that our Western culture was at a crisis point, and sliding or crashing in the wrong direction happened about forty years ago when the Advent season, which begins this Sunday, was turned into a pre-Christmas season. As time passed, it ...read more

    We often struggle to see beyond our immediate challenges, yet Nahum was able to perceive something greater. His deep understanding of God's Grace allowed him to see beyond his immediate circumstances and emotions.

    I want to focus on the powerful message found in the first four words of Nahum 1:7: "The Lord is good." Although the book of Nahum can be challenging to read and preach from, it is important to note that the minor prophets' messages are just as significant as those of the major prophets. The book ...read more

    What To Do When Someone's Mad At You Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Nov 19, 2006
    based on 18 ratings
     | 25,191 views

    God would rather have a broken life than a beautiful lamb. He would rather have a surrendered man or a woman than scads of money. He would rather have us leave and make peace than lift our hands in praise when we’re in conflict with someone.

    What to Do When Someone’s Mad at You Matthew 5:23-24 Rev. Brian Bill 11/19/06 I had the honor of hearing the Messiah give an amazing message on the side of a mountain last year near my hometown of Capernaum [show picture].

    Legalism is a real temptation for us because we're wired to DO something. We have learned that we earn our bread by the sweat of our brow and we can't help but apply that to our spiritual life.

    INTRODUCTION The book of Galatians has six chapters and they are easily divided into three themes. The first two chapters are doctrinal. Paul reminded the believers the Gospel of grace is the only true Gospel. The two middle chapters are personal, and the last two chapters are practical. ...read more

    This is a message on Divine Chastening. Much of which I learned by experience in the furnace of affliction.

    The Mystery of Divine Chastening Jeremiah 18:1-6 Introduction This passage of Scripture is one of the most unique and powerful passages in the Bible. In it Jeremiah portrays God as a potter and man as a lump of clay. He paints us a picture of God in his sovereignty taking man and molding him into ...read more

    OPENING IMAGE ILLUSTRATION: contrasting mountain peaks with passes; peaks enable you to enjoy the view of where you have been and where you are going, whereas passes give you mere glimpses of what may be ahead. “Year ends” are like passes to me.

    Lesson 7 in a series. This lesson focuses on how to love our enemies.

    Fix Your Love Matthew 5:43-48 Intro. Did you ever wonder why we like super heroes so much? I mean what is it about us that wants to fly, leap tall buildings, bend steel and stop bullets? Why do we have such a fascination with being able to read peoples thoughts or turn invisible? I think ...read more
