The Call Of The Cross Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Feb 9, 2016

the cross is not just a symbol we look to or place our faith in. It’s not just what Jesus did for us. It is what Jesus invites us to. It is a way of life for those following Jesus.

The Call to the Cross Mark 8:34-38 The Cross. What comes to mind when you hear that word? A decorative altar ornament? Something that rests on top of a church steeple? A piece of jewelry hanging around the neck? Mention the word "cross" to the people of Jesus' day and a very different image came ...read more

More Than Conquerors

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 23, 2011

We are not just conquerors but more than conquerors through Christ, not just in some situations, but in all circumstances of life. The ground of this confidence is His great love for us. Therefore let us fight with an attitude of faith, and reliance.

Believers in those times faced many trials and sufferings. They were persecuted and opposed, because of their faith in Jesus Christ. • We got to know it in history, as well as in the Scriptures. • Paul mentioned some of these difficulties in verse 35 - trouble or hardship or persecution or famine ...read more

Unleashing The Treasures Of The Midnight Series

Contributed by Aderemi Ojikutu on Mar 14, 2013

Just as treasures are not found on the streets, so is wealth not discovered on the cashier's counter in a bank. Just as a whale is not found in a pond, so are riches not found on a Eatery's table. Join me once again, in this exploratory serial to unmask t

It's More Than A List! Lessons From Nehemiah 3 Series

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2013

Whenever we get to long lists in the Bible, our eyes usually just skim through them, or we may just skip them. If we do this with Nehemiah 3, we will miss many good lessons.

The book opens up with Nehemiah learning of the bad news about the condition of the walls of Jerusalem and the condition of the people. Nehemiah showed in his questioning of his brother of the condition of God’s people and city and what followed what his priorities were as a servant of God. ...read more

Go! And Delight In His Delight - Psalm 149:4 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 8, 2025

Do you really believe that God delights in you? Not just tolerates you. Not just puts up with you because Jesus died for you. But genuinely delights in you — rejoices over you — sings over you.

Worship

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 19, 2026

Worship is something that takes place in heaven continuously forever and ever and we just partake in or join in on Sundays. Heaven and its Hosts continuously worship God, and we just join or participate in it for some time from earth.

The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” Revelation 4:8 Worship is not something we do or participate when attend the church on Sundays ...read more

Part 2 - Matthew 9:9-13 - Jesus, Did You Just Call Me Scum? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 20, 2010

The Pharisees can't see why Jesus would want to "eat with such scum?" (Matthew 9:11). JESUS AGREES THAT THEY ARE SCUM! He just says, "Healthy people don't need a doctor-sick people do." (Matthew 9:12). There it is again - REDEMPTIVE POTENTIAL.

Part 2 - Matthew 9:9-13 - JESUS, DID YOU JUST CALL ME SCUM? In Kiev, MONEY CHANGERS sit in little booths with a small window. You can't see their faces and they mutter to you in Russian as you hand over American dollars in exchange for Grivnas. Whenever I exchanged money I seemed to be getting ...read more

Baby Steps

Contributed by Chris Thron on Oct 18, 2000

Just as a mother encourages her child to walk, God encourages us to grow spiritually.

Therefore if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why do you subject yourself to regulations as if you still belonged to this world? You say, "Don’t touch this! Don’t eat that! Don’t handle that!" You are entirely preoccupied with perishable things. Your commandments ...read more

180 Degrees

Contributed by Rita Sims on May 2, 2001

God still can and does change people just like God changed Saul.

We learn in geometry that 360 degrees makes a full circle. That is, we start at one point and go all the way around and end up at the same point. 180 degrees is a half circle. We start at one point and end up at the opposite end. Well, Saul is heading down the road to Damascus from Jerusalem, ...read more
