    The analysis of faith in Luke 17:5-6 teaches us that if we are having trouble forgiving others, then we need an increase of faith.

    Scripture Several years ago I stumbled across a TV show that featured an illusionist. Intrigued, I watched a fascinating segment. The illusionist and his audience of several hundred people were outside, on the edge of a bay. I believe they were in Hawaii. Most of the audience sat on bleachers ...read more

     | 6,904 views

    When phrases like "At my church..." or "I was at her church and..." remain unchallenged, they fill our sub-consciences and begin to subtly affect our attitude about the church.

    “Cross Currents: It’s Our Church” Colossians 1:18-29 “At our church…” “Well my church…” “I was at Swindoll’s church and…” “She was saying that at her church…” Familiar phrases – ones we’ve ...read more

    Shooting Our Wounded

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,937 views

    We cringe when we hear about shooting the wounded; but how many times have we seen a brother or sister in Christ who was suffering spiritually, and then we shot him or her down with our words of judgment and condemnation?

    I want to open with an illustration. On May 21, 2004, Captain Rogelio Maynulet of the United States Army shot an unnamed Iraqi who was wounded in a chase.(1) What was his reasoning? He reported, “He was in a state that I didn’t think was dignified – I had to put him out of his misery.” He ...read more

    Our Troublesome Tongues

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024
     | 1,415 views

    As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

    Before we dive into the main content of the message today, I want to point out something rather obvious - there are no notes in your bulletins. There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more

     | 1,279 views

    For the love of family, we must love our spouses. But what does it mean to love our spouses? Scripture teaches us that the marriage of a man and woman is a picture of Jesus and His bride, the church. We need to learn to love our spouses as Jesus loves the church.
