Oh, What A Mystery!

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 27, 2019

Most Christians do not truly understand the phrase “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” This message will help brings some clarity.

In Mark 4, Jesus gives the parable of the sower and when the disciples ask him what it means, He says in verse 11, “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables.” Why were the disciples the ones who were “given to ...read more

Its only 6 chapters long, but there is so much in it that it could easily take us 6 months to complete. I love the Bible, and to see the Bible's ...read more

The Church: Exhibit A

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Aug 31, 2019

The church often seems really clutzy, but the way that we live together and love one another is really important.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes the church seems a bit lame? There never seems to be enough money. There always seems to be somebody fussing about some really petty thing, trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. Sometimes it seems to take forever to get everybody agreed and working ...read more

"I Am Afflicted" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Feb 19, 2014

One of my questions for us today is whether or not we see our Christianity as an affliction, and can we relate to the identity of being afflicted because of the mystery of Christ that we have been exposed to?

“I Am Afflicted” (Eph 3:1-13) Sometimes we can read too much into passages of the bible to make them personal, that they relate to us specifically when they’re not meant to. As we read about Paul today and his afflictions, you might say, “well that was for Paul, how do you ...read more

Intro: Paul was just getting ready to pray for the Ephesian church when he was reminded of the importance of the church and as preachers are often known to do he chases a rabbit.

What God Has Made Clean Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 4, 2020

God told Peter in Acts 10 - "What God has made clean you must not call common." What would that have meant to the Ephesians, and what can it mean to us?

In Acts 10, we’re told the story of the first Gentiles who became Christians. God sent Peter to do preach to them and baptize them… but because Peter wouldn’t have done that on his own.
