    Manifesting The Manifold Wisdom Of God

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Apr 3, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,930 views

    When people come to the realization that God's divine plan requires self-sacrifice and service to Christ they rebel, and the true Christian becomes a serious minority.

    Manifold Wisdom of God Illustration Statistics would have you believe that over 80% of Americans are Christians, and historians would have you believe that American colonial patriotic zeal was shared with over 80% of the colonist. Sometime what is shouted the loudest and the longest is assumed to ...read more

    Peace Work Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,446 views

    God’s peace is not the same as the world’s peace - even though people filled with God’s peace DO bring peace to the world.

    We human beings are not naturally peacemakers. On the contrary: we’re naturally trouble-makers. A few years ago a group of people tried walking across America on a mission of peace. They couldn't get along and divided into two groups by the time they were half way across. According to the ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Sep 18, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,296 views

    The Holy Spirit makes us authoritatively competent to minister to His people. Paul wrote, "He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant - not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."

    How The Holy Spirit Gives Us Greater Authority John 7:38 (NIV, NIRV, TNIV, KJV) Where Can We Find Greater Authority? Ills. [Everyone] born of God overcomes the world. --1 John 5:4 Most celebrations of national independence mark the day of final victory in the struggle for freedom. ...read more

    The Unity Of One Gospel Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Sep 22, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,976 views

    The Gospel unifies people of all nations, races, ethnicity, culture, education and economic status. The Gospel is over culture, therefore it can be adapted to culture.

    Is Christianity for everyone? Is it available to everyone? How much does a person need to be removed from their culture to become a Christian? This issue about the Gospel and culture is not new. Christians have struggled with the Gospel and the effects of culture since the very beginning. Today ...read more

    6 reasons why the land of Israel belongs to the Jews. Learn why the word "Zionism" or "Zionist" is such a hated word today. America has blessed the people of Israel for over 200 years now and why is that so important?

    “Why The Jews?” Pt. 2 Zechariah 8 In 518 B.C. the prophet envisioned a day when Zion or Israel would be a place of: · The return of God’s passion. Vs. 1-3 · The repentance of God’s people.

    Judgment Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,333 views

    Many people have a hard time understanding or accepting the idea of God as a judge. We learn about judgment and the nature of God in this section. The news actually is good!

    There’s probably one question I get more than any other from those who do not yet know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior: “How can a loving God send anyone to hell. How can a loving God judge anyone? Didn’t Jesus say ‘judge not lest ye be judged’?” Judgment is a very difficult subject to talk ...read more

    In order to love in action (not just principle or feeling) as Jesus did and commends us to follow, we must first see the people and world around us as Jesus sees them - from the perspective of the cross.

    CROSS-PERSPECTIVE Second in Series: “Love In Action” Rev. Todd G. Leupold Perth Bible Church July 6, 2008 AM INTRODUCTION: - As we celebrate this Independence Day weekend, it is fitting that we take a few moments to reflect on our view of our own place in this world.

    A giving church is filled with people who have fully given their lives to God.

    - I once read of a farmer who went to the office of a televangelist and asked if he could see "the Head Hog of the Trough." The receptionist was offended and said in response, "Sir, if you're talking about our beloved minister, you may call him Reverend or Pastor, but I don't think it would be ...read more

    How To Overcome Slavery To Sin

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 84 ratings
     | 12,710 views

    Too many people are in bondage to their negative thinking, irrational assumptions and sinful tendencies.

    Many people start well but finish poorly. In Judges 2:11-23 we see how Israel began well but gave into a cycle of sin and slavery. The pattern is repeated seven times in the book of Judges over a 350 year period. This cycle of slavery to sin points out the truth of Galatians 6:6 which says, "Be not ...read more

    Jesus removes barriers between people and gives us a common ground of love.

    Everyone’s Golden Rule In the name of Jesus Christ, who teaches us to found our lives on love. Amen. “Do unto others.” This pretty much sums up the Golden Rule. We’ve all heard about it, and to be honest it is a very simple, sensible statement that reflects wisdom in the matters of interpersonal ...read more
