    Righteous Indignation Series

    Contributed by Johnny Levy on Oct 17, 2020
     | 2,715 views

    We need to be made ready, by the power of the holy spirit, to suffer persecution with grace and humility. Jesus is, and will always be, the greatest example in history of denying his own rights and giving up his own power.

    The Journey To Emmaus

    The risen Christ is with us always. He walks with us on every road. He is with us at the heights of joy and celebration and in the pits of terror and despair. He is always with us, but we do not recognise him. Nevertheless, he journeys with us to the end of our lives.

    The gospel reading we just read about Jesus' journey to Emmaus with two persons is one of my favourite resurrection stories and possibly my favourite from the Gospel of Luke. Over the twenty-six years of my ministry, among many other texts in the Gospels, this is one of the most-loved stories I ...read more

    Bethel: Where Jacob Met The Lord

     | 6,120 views

    Jacob was Isaac's son and Abraham's grandson. He stopped at Bethel, for the night, but some interesting things happened while he was there.

    Bethel: where Jacob met the Lord Preface: When you think of Jacob, what comes to mind? Clearly, he was one of the most colorful people in the Bible! Sometimes we think he was a shady character, such as when he “bargained” with Esau for the birthright. I still think there’s a bit of humor in that ...read more

    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
     | 2,934 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

    In this messaeg we will look at what the Father did and not the mistakes of the Son

    Introduction: • "In Luke 15, we encounter a story often called 'The Parable of the Prodigal Son,' a title that highlights the son's wasteful choices and, in a way, keeps the focus on our own shortcomings. • But I believe this name misses the heart of the story. A truer title might ...read more

    The Rich Man And Lazarus Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Mar 28, 2025
     | 814 views

    In today’s text we have a story about a wealthy man and an impoverished man whose stories intersect at the gate of the wealthy man. This is a haunting story and one that features people with opposite experiences in life and death.

    The Rich Man and Lazarus Luke 16:19-31 Introduction Luke’s gospel is known for having a lot to say about riches and poverty. We might assume that Jesus mostly talked to poor people, but we know he spoke to the Pharisees, many of whom would have been wealthy. (16:14) He also was known to hang ...read more

    Cost Of Freedom 1 Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 1,212 views

    Cost of any freedom has never been cheap. For our freedom, Christ died and shed His blood as a ransom for our sins. If the cost was not paid by His blood, we would only be redeemed temporarily and would continue to live as slaves like the folks of the OT.

    Opening illustration: With the dismantling of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the subsequent lifting of the iron curtain, Eastern Europeans jubilantly celebrated the freedom they had long been denied. However, some of the first “freedoms” to be exercised in these formerly communist countries were ...read more
