    The Ox, The Donkey & Thanksgiving

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 22, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,178 views

    In Isaiah 1:3 God compared the thankfulness of His people to that of the ox and donkey, and said the animals won the prize hands down. How can brute beasts, who have so little intelligence, be much more aware of their Creator?

    THE OX, THE DONKEY & THANKSGIVING Isa. 1:3 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Growing up, we called one set of grandparents Big Mama & Big Daddy. No one thought much of it until one of the grandkids told them they were soon to be great-grandparents. 2. That’s when Big Mamma decided to change ...read more

    Stony The Road We Trod:

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Apr 12, 2022
     | 2,428 views

    Jesus’ “going up” to Jerusalem is a public event, interpreted by Luke as a royal entry.

    It is that “slash” day again—as in Palm/Passion Sunday—as in trying to capture two seemingly distinct moods and experiences in one act of worship. It is almost impossible to do, it seems. If we lean toward the Palm Sunday experience and emphasize the exuberance of the triumphal entry into ...read more

    "Doubt Cannot Hide The Resurrected Jesus”

    Kathleen Noris has written: “To believe is not a matter of the mind but a matter of the heart.” The eleven were no different that Thomas. Belief in His resurrection had to move from their “mind” to their “hearts.”

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,673 views

    One of my favorite characters of the Christmas story is Simeon. He heard the "voice of Jesus" by the Holy Spirit. When you hear the Spirit give you a direction, you are hearing the voice of Jesus. The scriptures can also be "a voice of Jesus" (Jesus Speaks Leonard Sweet)

    If you were to take a survey of every person in this room, and perhaps every person in this city, and ask them, "What is your main goal in life?" you would get a lot of different answers. Some would say to be successful, to provide for their family. Others might say to be healthy, to ...read more

    Gehazi had to meet Elisha where he lied to Elisha, and God judged him by making him a leper. At that point Gehazi and Elisha separated for good. This sad, but important story has many lessons to teach us about our own deceitful natures.
