Turn Back Now! Series

Contributed by David Lodwig on Sep 23, 2015

The key to breaking the cycle of behavior in our life is turning to God in our crisis moment. When we break, He is the only one that can put us back together.

Break the Cycle: Turn Back Now! Text: Judges 16:20 Bug Idea: Time and again, we find ourselves in the same state of brokenness. The ironic thing is that we are given opportunity after opportunity to turn back before we slide any further. The story of Samson shows us how ignoring red flags leads ...read more

Face Value. Series

Don’t take people at face value and so become a stupid judge and a judged sinner. Instead, be quick to love even those you might prejudge as unworthy.

I’ll never forget what has become one of my all-time favorite TV commercials, shown during Super Bowl 39 over 12 years ago (February 6, 2005). The Ameriquest Mortgage Company sponsored the commercial, and it came with a powerful message. Take a look… (show Americaquest Cat Commercial video) A man ...read more

Being Reminded To Do Good

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Sep 3, 2016

How does one reach a fallen world that glorifies sin? Is their a right and wrong way to preach the Gospel? In Paul's message to Titus we find that loving people and doing good deeds is the only way to reach them.

Accountability: Self Evaluation

Decaf Christmas? Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015

The reason we decaffeinate Christmas is because we don’t want Jesus intruding on our lives. Don’t want to admit that we need help. Little baby Jesus is OK, but he’d better not get out of the manger.

This week a number of articles have come out, commenting on the push to get Christ out of Christmas. The best I read called this the decaffeination of Christmas. Carols that are all about trees, snow, reindeer, not about a baby born in a manger. Why do we do this? For some the story of ...read more

As Jesus makes his way toward Jerusalem and the Triumphant Entry of Palm/Passion Sunday he makes an important stop in Jericho to have dinner with Zacchaeus the Innocent. How many times in life do we jump to the wrong conclusions?

We are not to let others judge us for not participating in Holy Days or judge others who are participating in Holy Day's celebrations. Christ is the one we need to over come our sins. Christ is our righteousness.

He threatened that he would not worship with us unless we went through the observation of Holy Week activities. B. Many in the very traditional church will celebrate a calendar ...read more

Lesson 16: A Rebuke Of Partiality (James 2:1-4) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 26, 2021

This section assumes the rich and the poor’s understanding that appears at other places in James and reflects the influence of the reception of the poor by Jesus in the exhortation not to show partiality in the church.
