  • Jesus Among Secular Gods, Part 4 - Killing The Imago Dei: Answering The Questions Of Relativism & Secular Humanism Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 4, 2019
     | 2,891 views

    Part 4 based on the book by Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale: Secular humanism believes we can look to human advancement for justice, peace, and the end of suffering. In sharp contrast, Christianity teaches that the only way for us to truly live is to remove ourselves from the equation.

    Humanism (also known as progressivism) is based on relativism and the idea that human advancement is the solution to injustice, war, and suffering. Like most worldly reasoning or false teachings in the church, there some truth in this reasoning. The Christian and Biblical world-view that God uses ...read more

  • Developing A Personal Walk With God

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 22, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 23,591 views

    In Moses' frank conversation with God, we learn to pray for those who rebel against God, hunger for the presence of God, long for more of God, and shine with the light of God. As we seek after God, God will reveal more of himself to us.

    Exodus 33:12-23 Developing a Personal Walk with God Today’s conversation between Moses and God is pretty gutsy. Moses seems very comfortable with God, even to challenge God: “You don’t go with us, we don’t go!” Moses is praying real prayers here, nothing held back. And what is even more amazing ...read more

  • Everybody’s God

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jan 7, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,432 views

    The story of the wise men reminds us we worship a God above political might, a God over religious complacency, and a God over cultural prejudice. Often God colors outside the lines, moving in ways that shatter our assumptions. Our God is everybody's God!

    Matthew 2:1-12 Everybody’s God Today we conclude the “twelve days of Christmas,” that period of time between Christmas day and Epiphany, celebrated just yesterday. In church history, Epiphany marks the arrival of the wise men, the magi from afar bringing gifts to celebrate the newborn king. ...read more

  • Go Thy Way: When Jesus Healed A Leper Series

     | 7,399 views

    Remember the slogan, "WWJD" or "what would Jesus do?" When a leper came to Jesus asking to be healed, what did Jesus do?

    Introduction: Leprosy. This was one of the worst, and perhaps the most dreaded diseases of all time. If anyone ever came down with this disease, that person just about faced a death sentence. Everyone, who had this disease, faced expulsion from society, including home, family, friends, and ...read more

  • Go Thy Way-Jesus And The Rich Young Ruler Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 6, 2020
     | 3,229 views

    He had all the "right stuff", humanly speaking, but he knew something was wrong. He ran to Jesus, listened to Jesus, but walked away. "Go thy way" wasn't something he wanted to do.

    Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Glasgow, MO, 2014 This is not an exact transcription Background: When an event in Scripture is recorded once, it’s clearly important. This event was mentioned in three of the four Gospels! This event took place shortly before the Lord Jesus ...read more

     | 4,783 views

    this is the only parable in which a person’s name is mentioned which some bible scholars believe was not an imaginary tale, but a true story!

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Feb 8, 2016
     | 6,722 views

    With Jesus' death only days away, Mary gives an extravagant gift in gratitude and thanksgiving while the leaders continue to plot Jesus' death and the Passover crowds throw a parade in Jesus' honor.

    1 24 2016 “An Anointing, Another Plot, and a Parade” John 12: 1-19 In our last study we saw the Plot of the Pompous High Priest Caiaphas as well as his unknowing but true prophecy in John 11:49-50: "You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man ...read more

  • Put Down Your Bullhorn Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 8, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,222 views

    There were times where Jesus started out a sentence by saying, “I tell you the truth”. It was a declaration of affirmation where he was placing a strong emphasis on what followed. Today we'll look at his use of it in Matt. 6:1-4.

    “PUT DOWN YOUR BULLHORN” Matthew 6:1-4 There were times where Jesus started out a sentence by saying, “I tell you the truth”. We would say that everything Jesus said is the truth. We would also say that everything Jesus said is important so we might wonder why he sometimes ...read more

    What is the Christian’s relationship to government, and why does God make a big deal out of their authority in this passage?

  • "What If No One Told The Story?"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,459 views

    So God entrusted the greatest message ever sent from heaven to a bunch of smelly, uncouth shepherds. It shouldn’t surprise us because from the beginning of time he has come to lift up those who have found themselves at the bottom of the ladder.

    What if no one told the Story? Luke 2:8-20 Surveys are done on just about every subject now. One was taken with church members asking then which character in the Christmas story they most identified with. Mary? Joseph? The shepherds? The wise men? Most people who answered the question said ...read more

  • The Lord's Supper, A Long Story Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Mar 29, 2016
     | 5,089 views

    The Lord's Supper was not born in isolation. It is the symbolic demonstration of God's redemptive plan through the ages. This lesson touches God's work through Abram, Moses, and Jesus.

    1. Gilligan's Isolation There were very few of these episodes that you could consider emotionally touching. But I do remember one. Gilligan had gotten his feelings hurt and decided to move away to the other side of the Island to live alone in a cave. Immediately, this became a miserable existence ...read more
