Easter: The Uncomfortable Reality!

"nimrod's Folly"

Contributed by John Huyser on Sep 5, 2023

From Sunday School I remember vividly all sorts of lessons on The Tower of Babel. I think almost all of them missed the mark. The issue is far less the Tower of Babel - in fact the tower is a symptom of humanity wanting to do their own thing without God. Jesus came down to reverse that.

It was a moment of folly, a church in Northwest Iowa prefers to forget. Busting at the seams, they broke ground on a new building in the early eighties. Their sanctuary and parking lot would double in size. Featured too were a large kitchen and fellowship hall and many a classroom and extra ...read more

Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023

At first the disciples doubted. But when faced with the evidence, they weighed it, tested it, and then acted upon it. Their verdict has stood the test of time. And the grounds on which they stood are the same grounds upon which we can stand.

Why do you suppose is it that, faced with the same data, some people interpret it one way and some people interpret it another? You have only to look at the George Floyd riots – and the other ones later that year - to know that. Not even exhaustive investigations convince people whose minds are ...read more

Drop Your Bucket Where You Are Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

The point is, we must recognize that it is only as we take advantage of the opportunities before our eyes that we can arrive at the distant goal.

The Last Word

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

Skeptics claim that death has the final word. God claims that life has the final word. Should we abandon the skeptics’ claim for God’s. Should we? John says “yes,” and he gives us three reasons that we should.

It was Sunday morning. The pastor was planning to preach on the Resurrection of the Lord. And he wanted his sermon to make an impression on the congregation.

WHY DIDN’T THE LORD LOOK AT CAIN’S OFFERING WITH FAVOUR? WHAT WAS SO SPECIAL ABOUT ABEL’S OFFERING? WHAT IS “THE WAY OF CAIN” MENTIONED IN JUDE 1:11? HOW IS ALL THESE TIED TO ENDTIMES?

This wouldn’t be a puzzle at all if Cain appeared before the Lord empty handed or if he didn’t show up at all.
