"From Seasons Of Drought To Blessings Of Renewal"

Contributed by Dennis Deese on Aug 17, 2002

What's Your Perspective?

Contributed by Jonathan Twitchell on Oct 26, 2006

Contrasting Job with the Rich Young Ruler forces us to consider the priorities in our own life. Our ability to face the inevitable losses and tragedy in life is determined by our perspective on life. By setting our sights on things above, we are better

Whenever the phone rings at 2 o’clock in the morning, you hope that it’s a wrong number, that nothing’s really wrong, and that you can go back to sleep. Middle-of-the-night phone calls are rarely good, as the caller must think it’s pretty important in order to wake you from your sleep. Melody’s a ...read more

Steadfastness

Contributed by Don Baggett on Sep 26, 2008

You are going to face opposition when you set out to be dedicated and devoted to God, when you determine to rebuild broken walls of spiritual significance in your life. The devil is on the job, and his primary goal is to render your life ineffective for

This chapter begins with the names of a couple of fellows who did not want to see the walls rebuilt around Jerusalem. It may very well be that they weren’t all that concerned about walls, but that they were representative of a larger group who simply had no regard for the Jews and didn’t want them ...read more

Contributed by Johnny Knight on Jan 29, 2010

Can you believe some the stuff the cat does drag into the house? The yet the fact is, every day in our ministry work or at secular jobs or at school or even while shopping, attitudes of the world do their best to attach themselves to us.

Choosing A Wife

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 9, 2014

How are we to handle decision making? Especially about important things like who to marry, or where to live, or what jobs to pursue? What comes first, Marriage or Love? How should we go about making those decisions?

Opening illustration: My conversation with a pastor friend in our local community while meeting him over lunch last winter. [Biblically marriage comes first then love … our culture has switched it around …] Introduction: God could have just directly communicated to Abraham – ...read more

Serving A God Of Purpose

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 9, 2014

In Genesis 1 we see the order of creation and God's wisdom, the design of creation and God's goodness, the purpose of creation and God's love. If God can make such a grand and beautiful creation, rest assured He can do a better job with you!

Genesis 1 is the account of God's creation. This is the revelation of God to Moses. No one was at the beginning except God. • No one would know what happen unless God reveals. Moses spent many one-on-one, extended moments with God. • When he was in the wilderness shepherding the ...read more

When God Calls

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 27, 2014

Moses came up with four reasons why he was not the man for the job God has for him. They are questions of identity, credibility, faith and ability. God took extra length to convince him. God does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called.

God was concerned. Last verse of Exo 2 says “So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.” • He approached Moses and said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned ...read more

Too Busy To Work

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 29, 2013

We can apply this principle of diligence to our spiritual lives, not simply our jobs. If we become lax or idle in our pursuit of God (worship, prayer, service, etc.), we will find ourselves missing God’s will.

Too Busy to Work 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12 6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle ...read more

Good Mothers Never Yell (And Other Myths)

Contributed by John Gaston on May 16, 2018

There is a mythology afoot today which causes mothers to set standards for themselves so high that no real, normal human mother could ever reach it! Mothers need to know they are doing a good job and that kids also have a mind of their own.

Those Bones, Those Bones! (Hix)

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Oct 20, 2012

Eyes seeing, ears hearing, feet walking, mouths talking, but dead without God. Rubbing elbows with the dead, that's why we have jobs, school, and shopping, and doctor appointments, to reach out to those who are dead!

Ezekiel was the Watchmen! Verse 1-2-The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed ...read more

The Body Of Christ – Part Ii Series

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Mar 11, 2016

There is only one body, but many members. We are all dependent on one another. It is not just the pastor’s job to care for the members of the body—that would be humanly impossible. Each member must function as he or she is called.

We continue our study of His Church and begin by looking at 1 Corinthians 12. (1 Cor 12:13 NKJV) For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body; whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free; and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor 12:14 For in fact the body is not one ...read more

God morning, brothers and sisters! Welcome to “CSI: Canton.” For those of you who live in a cave and don’t have cable, “CSI” stands for “Crime Scene Investigation.” Now, CSI started out as a weekly crime show that literally began at the turn of the century … in the year 2000 … on CBS.
