Run It Up The Flagpole Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 3, 2016

Too many Christians are satisfied with doing their minimum requirement for God. They don't realize the blessings they miss out on because they've just done what they "had to do" as His child. What are they missing out on and how can they change?

(Props: 3 arrows) OPEN: Yesterday was January 2nd. Does anyone know what national holiday that is? It’s called “Run It Up The Flagpole and See Who Salutes Day.” Yes… that’s actually a special day on the January calendar. I visited a couple of sites that spoke about ...read more

Play God Day Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 10, 2016

Play God Day is "celebrated" on January 9th and encourages people to do something nice for others. That's good. But "playing God" also has a negative side. What's wrong with "playing God" and how do I recognize if I'm falling into that trap?

This is the 2nd in our series of “holidays” in January you probably haven’t heard of. This one is called the “Play God Day” and its “observed” on January 9th each year. According to www.cute_calendar.com: “The day encourages you to do something ...read more

Peculiar People Day Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 17, 2016

The KJV uses the word "peculiar" 7 times - but it didn't mean "odd" or "bizarre" - it meant a treasured "possession". But what does that mean to us and how should that effect our daily lives as Christians?

(I opened by reading Titus 2:11-14 from the KJV) OPEN: Last Sunday (January 10th) was “Peculiar People Day”. Nobody knows who came up with the idea of making that a special day (somebody thinks it might have been the greeting card companies) but the whole idea of this Peculiar People ...read more

Darwin Day Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 31, 2016

Darwinism is based on several assumptions about the origin of life. But its often used by many as a tool to oppose God. Because of that, this theory ultimately enslaves people to sin and despair. Do you know why?.

OPEN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI6-g6Xe8kc (missing in action) All this month we’ve been focusing on “holidays” in January that you may not have heard of. Today we’re going to stretch a little outside the month to touch on the International Darwin Day that is ...read more

The Need To Be Freed From Sin Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 3, 2016

Can You Justify That? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 10, 2016
