Are You Eating Devil’s Food

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 4, 2021

Spiritual salmonella abounds so be careful at what buffet you eat.

1 Corinthians 10:20  But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.  21  Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the ...read more

Coulda Hada Pear: Rules, Rules, Rules Series

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on May 4, 2020

Rules, Guidelines, Boundaries… they all help convey limitations… something of a “you can go to this point (here) , but not that far (there)” premise. When God plunked Man into the Garden, there is only one rule…

Common thought today; ° Rules are meant to be broken ° Boundaries are meant to be challenged ° Guidelines are merely suggestions, recommendations, and preferred expectations Almost no one likes rules. Almost no one wants to be ‘governed’, controlled, directed, and worse… ...read more

Teach Us To Count Our Days Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jun 5, 2020

This Psalm compares God’s eternity with human transitoriness; the eternal God and Mortal man; ever-existing God and short-lived man. Moses offered several prayers but only this prayer is recorded in the Bible. It’s a prayer for the restoration of Israel.

Theme: Teach us O Lord Text: Psalm 90 ‘The Lord is good and his love endures forever’ I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. God willing, we will be meditating on the theme “restoration” throughout this month of June 2020. The book of Psalms is divided into five parts ...read more

The Deity Of Jesus In The Books Of Moses Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 28, 2015

All Jehovah's TRUE witnesses must agree that Jesus is God. The teaching is all over the Bible. We begin in the Pentateuch, the books of the man Moses, the first of Jehovah's witnesses.

Jehovah’s True Witnesses Agree: JESUS IS GOD! introduction There is no question in my mind about the humanity of Jesus of Nazareth. Nor do I doubt the existence of what we have called “trinity”, a 3-in-one concept of the Godhead. In the case of this study I should speak of ...read more

Where Does The Buck Stop? Series

Contributed by Larry Turner on Aug 12, 2015

The Great Denominational Explosion Series

Contributed by Keith Foskey on Jul 11, 2014

Following the reformation, the church fragmented into many denominations. This lesson examines the question of what makes a church a true, biblical church.

Tonight, we are going to be examining the advent of ...read more

"The Inn Hospitality"

Contributed by Bruce Lee on Nov 30, 2014

This is a deeper look at the translation "no room for them in the inn." It is not about there not being enough "space for lodging' but turns to become more about there not being enough "hospitality" for Joseph, Mary, and Jesus.

“the inn hospitality” “And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” Luke 2:7 (NKJV) Intro: There has been much deliberation and speculation over the whereabouts ...read more

Love Isn't Just For Weddings! 1 Corinthians 13

Contributed by Wendy Gravolin on Mar 2, 2016

Love isn't just fro weddings Paul is encouraging the church to live out of the fruit of self sacrificial (agape) love but he isn't ruling out using the gifts of the Spirit which God has given to empower the church for its mission to make disciples.

Love isn’t just for weddings: 1 Corinthians 12:31- 13:1-13 Reverend Wendy Gravolin St Thomas Anglican Church Winchelsea, Victoria Australia We live in a culture that is obsessed with erotic & romantic love.

The Power To Save

Contributed by Leonard Davis on Mar 4, 2016

Our testimony has a powerful influence on others but only if we share it with them. We should know by now that there are many ways to give a witness to the changes that we have experienced since we have trusted in Jesus.

THE POWER TO SAVE John 4:39-54 If we ever needed motivation to share the good news of salvation with others, all we need to do is to look around at the mess many people have made of their lives. Many are in desperate need of help. It may be that someone has already told them about what God has ...read more

Daniel 5: Being A Person Of Substance Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Sep 3, 2020

Belshazzar is "weighed in the balance and found wanting," while Daniel is strong in his faith in God. Our substance is found in the kingdom of God, as described in the Beatitudes and Sermon on the Mount.

A New Creation

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Apr 11, 2019

We are being called to see the world through new eyes, but in order to do that, we need to be transformed by Christ. Once we witness His power firsthand, only then are we truly able to go out as ambassadors for Him.

Cheap Talk And Free Speech Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

Words have power. And whether that power accomplishes good or evil depends on where it comes from, and what it is intended to do.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” You’ve all heard that saying, haven’t you? We’ve probably all used it, in fact - usually when a child comes home from school upset because someone called her a bad name. We do distinguish between words and actions. That is what ...read more
