    God's Forever Family

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 25, 2025
     | 446 views

    One of the greatest gifts God gives us is 
the invitation to belong — not just to Him, but to a family — His family.

    God’s Forever Family Introduction Erma Bombeck is one of my favorite authors. Her newspaper column called At Wit’s End was full of humor and wisdom. She wrote books like “If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What am I doing in the Pits?” and “The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank”. In one of ...read more

    It is because we’re only human that we can come into God’s presence only under Jesus’ sponsorship, and clothed in his grace.

    I got an offer last week that I almost didn’t refuse. It was from a travel company who, in return for my coming to a one-hour pitch for their company, would give me 4 free days and nights in any one of dozens of different destinations, and if I came between Tuesday and Thursday they’d double the ...read more

    One of the most beautiful stories of the Scriptures is that of the prodigal son, the younger son who left home, got into deep difficulty, wasted his life in riotous living, and ended up in the pigpen.

    Illustrations for Biblical Preaching Prodigal Son One of the most beautiful stories of the Scriptures is that of the prodigal son, the younger son who left home, got into deep difficulty, wasted his life in riotous living, and ended up in the pigpen.

    Planning Wisely, Living Humbly

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 1, 2026
     | 196 views

    We plan responsibly, but we submit these plans to God willingly. When they change—when doors close, when timelines shift, instead of living in despair we can trust that God causes all things to work together for good.

    How can we prepare our lives for the future when we don’t know what the future holds? Well we know that God has created life with rhythms we can normally count on. The world keeps spinning on its axis. The sun rises and sets. Gravity holds us to the earth. We breathe without thinking. Seasons come ...read more

    The parable of the great supper, teaches us of the invitation of God to everyone to join Him in the feast, the excuses of man not to come and finally the results of not accepting the invitation.

    Come; for All Things Are Now Ready Luke 14:16-24 Intro In the parable of the great supper, our Lord presents a picture of the blessings of Christianity under the figure of a wonderful banquet in which everything has been provided by God who is the generous Host. The world promises much to those ...read more

    Three good reasons why we are not ashamed of the Gospel

    NOT ASHAMED A pastor, a boy scout, and a scientist were the only passengers on a small plane.

    Large crowds followed Jesus, coming where He was. He could've waited on them to come to Him, but often He went out, seeking them. Jesus was often found among those society rejected. We too must be willing to go where they are, seeking to reach them.

    Found among Sinners Mark 2: 13-17 Following a season of ministry around the region of Galilee, Jesus had returned to Capernaum. His return created quite a stir, as multitudes arrived at Peter’s house, hoping to see Jesus. The palsied man was miraculously healed, and Jesus made a statement that ...read more

    We need correction in the high chair not the electric chair! Where are the footprints of parents leading their children? We teach temporal lessons seldom eternal.

    DO PARENTS NEED A PARADIGM SHIFT? LIFE STYLE CHANGE? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com HAVE WE EVER CONSIDERED THE TRASH CAN OF LIFE? I HAD A DREAM, EVERYTHING WAS DARK.

    We like to be invited to things. It makes us feel good to be on the guest list. It tells you the person cares and wants you to be a part of what they're doing. Jesus gave an invitation in Matt. 11:28-30. Let's take a look at this invitation and see what we can learn.

    COME TO ME Matt. 11:28-30 We like to be invited to things. Depending on the event, we might get a fancy, overpriced invitation in the mail, requesting our presence at such-and-such. It makes us feel good to be on the guest list. Sometimes we don't want to go to the thing we're invited to ...read more

    Let’s Eat The next couple of weeks we're going to be spending time in Luke 14, in a mini-series called "Come to the Table." I named the series this because - don't you just love invitations to eat? At first I thought that "Let's Eat" may have been a better title for ...read more

    Walking Each Other Home: Grace For The Journey

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 26, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 472 views

    Faith is lived together—bearing weakness, sharing warmth, staying aligned in grace, and walking patiently until none of us arrives home alone.

    There is a phrase I have come to treasure—not because it sounds theological, but because it sounds human. Walking each other home. It doesn’t sound dramatic or impressive. It sounds ordinary—almost small. Like something you do quietly at the end of the day. And yet, the longer I live, the more I ...read more

    Caution: Restoring New Testament Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2014
     | 7,080 views

    This lesson examines what the Bible means when it talks about evangelism and then compares this to what we see being called "evangelism" today. Have we redefined evangelism to ease our consciences?

    Introduction Our first lesson was a reminder of our mission. We have been given the green light to evangelize by the Lord, and this mission was given to each and every Christian, not just a select few. Each one of us are called by God to “love our neighbor as ourselves” and to have an ...read more
