Prayer

Contributed by Greg Nance on Aug 14, 2013

Acts 12 has both answered and unanswered prayers within it. We tend to like it better when we get a "yes" from heaven, but God might actually be doing greater things for us when the answer is "no."

When is the last time you prayed earnestly for something? What do you expect when you pray? What do you pray for most? I think about the family of a small child who is dying in a cancer ward. They pray night and day and are joined in prayer by hundreds of others asking God to spare the life of ...read more

Embrace A Genuine Superhero

Contributed by Daniel Habben on May 8, 2016

Ascension assures us that Jesus has all power and reigns on our behalf. It is he who we want to embrace more than we embrace Batman or Superman.

Have you noticed all the superhero movies in the last five years? There’s been Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, X-Men… It would probably take you a week maybe even two weeks of binge watching to catch up on all the superhero movies. That tells me one of two things: either movie ...read more

The Rational Mind Deceived

Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jan 28, 2012

What is it about the idea of God that makes many people uncomfortable? The idea of God does make many people feel that way, you know. For a country that has "In God We Trust" on its money, we are pretty confused about what kind of God we trust.

In the book of John, Jesus often uses words and phrases that have more than one meaning to make a point. For example, when he discusses being “born again” with Nicodemus, he uses a word which means both “again” and “from above”. In today’s scripture lesson, ...read more
