Spiritual Growth And Learning Is A Life-Long Adventure

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Dec 6, 2022

The crops determine when the harvest will occur. If the crop is a metaphor for spiritual growth the harvest must never happen. Thus, spiritual growth can never stop.

Spiritual Growth and Learning is a Life-Long Adventure Mark 4:26-29 26 And He was saying, "The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; 27 and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know. 28 "The soil ...read more

"I Found The Answer, I Learned To Pray”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 8, 2022

Introduction: Many years ago, the late Nat King Cole sang a song in a way that only he could sing. It was called "I Found the Answer, I Learned to Pray."

Never has there been a song that had more truth to it than that particular song. From cover to cover, the Bible teaches us the same thing this song teaches us: the answer to life's problems is prayer. Some never learn that lesson because they never read their Bible or attend a church where ...read more

Elijah—a Time To Flee, To Learn, And To Return Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 3, 2024

Suppose you had run for your life but received word to go back to where this took place again! This happened to Elijah after he received a death threat from Jezebel, wife of King Ahab of Northern Israel!

Introduction: Sometimes after a positive experience, something awful comes along. These could be trials; they could be threats; they could be any number of things but one thing is for sure: the one who is going through it, probably wishes “I don’t want to go through this!” Elijah had a set of ...read more

The Power Of Choice - Learning To Make The Right Choices

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 14, 2021

The Psalmist poses a thought-provoking question in Psalms 25:12. “What man is he that feareth the Lord?” Ponder his question for a moment…Then allow that question to provoke a self-examination. This psalm and the three preceding it reveals all the postures of worship: David presented in all the ...read more
