    The Cross

    Contributed by Alvan Lewis on Feb 3, 2020
     | 4,625 views

    Why is the Cross of Christ even more important than the teachings of Christ?

    Once upon a time there was a country church that had an ivy plant growing up by the front door. Over the doorway was a text carved in stone, "We preach Christ crucified". Over the years the plant grew and a branch gradually spread over the doorway. The first word of the text covered by ...read more

    There is much preaching done today in the power of the emotions, or in the power of the intellect. This is false preaching, and false religion.

    Preaching with the Power of the Holy Spirit Study Text: I Corinthians 1:17 - 18 Introduction: - One of the most neglected parts of preaching is understanding the role and power of the Holy Spirit in preaching God’s word. - As teachers, we spend hours studying, outlining, doing word studies, and ...read more

    Zacchaeus

    Contributed by Lucy Paynter on Sep 7, 2019
     | 11,329 views

    Every time I read the gospels recounting of Jesus ministry I am amazed at how every turn, route or path Jesus took was a planned season for someone to encounter him. Jesus entered and passed through Jerico and this time it was Zacchaeus season of visitation.

    Luke 19 King James Version (KJV) 19 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zaccheaus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4 ...read more

     | 2,800 views

    Every moment of every day, we have an opportunity to find the way back by moving forward. Renew your minds. Try this: "Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable."

    Here is the connection we need to make: "All wrongdoing is sin" (1 John 5:17) and "sin is lawlessness" (1 John 3:4). Lawlessness and sin are a couple, and they will not divorce one from the other. There are no irreconcilable differences. Do not allow individuals in these ...read more
