The Authority Of Jesus Is Challenged Series

Contributed by Bobby Stults on Sep 3, 2010

In our study of Luke, in the beginning of chapter 20 we find the religious leaders desparate to discredit Jesus and they openly challenge His authority!

Read Luke 20:1-8… Set the stage: Chapter 20 continues the final week of Jesus, after He has entered Jerusalem and after He has made a scene in His clearing of the Temple and chided the money changers and crooked business practices that took place in the Temple! On a side note, when Jesus ...read more

Storm, Sleep, And Sacrifice

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2010

New Year's Day 1989: Jonah, running from his responsibility, fell asleep. It might have been the sleep of a rationalized conscience; or depression. But a greater than Jonah is here, Christ, who can heal both conscience and soul.

It's not easy to stay out of the storms, no matter what escape you plan. It's just not easy to keep from getting rained on and buffeted around when the storm is coming, no matter what means you use to take shelter. This week, on the afternoon of the sudden squall, I had gone home to attend to my ...read more

A Defense Of God Given Authority Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 13, 2015

Those called of God are to use their spiritual authority to build people up & not to tear down. Those who have been granted authority in Christ have within them the ability to call forth the true exercise of authority.

Elijah The Prophet Of Fire Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Elijah broke into the atmosphere of human history like a comet. We have no story of his birth or background. His coming was as sudden and mysterious as was his going in the flaming chariot.

Elijah was the Luther of the Old Testament. He was God's man of the hour to begin a reformation and lead the children of Israel back to God. For about 50 years devotion to God had been decreasing. Ahab was now king in Israel, and he was more wicked than all who had gone before him. He married ...read more

May Hand Strength, Pero Walang Puso - Strength.

Contributed by James Dina on Jun 18, 2021

Maraming mga tao ang may sapat na lakas ng kamay, ngunit walang lakas sa puso na kumita dito. Lakas nang walang biyaya at kabanalan, nagsisilbi nang kaunti; at nang walang pag-iingat, nagsisilbi ito para sa wala.

MAY HAND STRENGTH, PERO WALANG PUSO - STRENGTH . "Anuman ang nahanap ng iyong kamay na gawin, gawin mo ito ng buong lakas, sapagkat sa libingan, kung saan ka pupunta, walang gumagana o nagpaplano o kaalaman o karunungan".(Eclesiastes 9:10) "Sa katunayan, kung ano ang kita ay ang ...read more

The Oil Of Peace Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Peace is the lubricant that keeps a good thing going. It keeps us in flight, and protects us from the heat of frustration, and the wear and tare of worry and tension that can cause us to lose altitude, and even crash.

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 9 – Judah The Harlot Blinded By Sin Polluted The Land Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 29, 2024

I think the worse a man or woman is joined to sin, then the greater the blurriness of that person’s position becomes. Sin is the cancer that overtakes the ability to repent. Judah was so idolatrous; it craved after spiritual adultery with all the gods of the nations. Interesting Hosea.
