Telling What You Know

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 9, 2009

We can become effective witnesses if we acknowledge the need of the cross, experience the cleansing of the cross, and examine the way the cross works.

I know that most, though not all, of you are professed believers. You have publicly acknowledged Christ as Lord; you have followed ...read more

The Watching World Wants To Know

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jul 12, 2009

The world wanted to know – Who Jonah was? Who did he belong to? What was he doing? What was he doing to them? Why was he sleeping at the worst time? Like Jonah, the world watches the believer and wants to know the same thing.

THE WATCHING WORLD WANTS TO KNOW JONAH 1:1-17 Then they said to him, “Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?” Jonah’s ministry took place in the 8th century B.C. – sometime ...read more

Knowing When To Break The Rules

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 2, 2009

Jesus’ encounter with the Syrophoenician woman admits several interpretations, all of which teach us: give what is needed rather than what is wanted; teach others rather than do for them; watch your motives.

Just when you think you have your life routines down pat, settled and secure, something comes along and upsets the whole pattern. Just when you think you have your life all organized, something comes up to discombobulate it! Just when you think you know the rules by which you govern your life, ...read more

Knowing God: The Source Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on May 5, 2009

The writer of Job explains to us the difference between human wisdom and the wisdom that comes from God. How do we find wisdom?

KNOWING GOD: THE SOURCE OF WISDOM Why do we need wisdom? Someone said that knowledge is the ability to take something apart; wisdom is needed to put it back together again.

I Want To Know Christ Series

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Jan 21, 2009
