    How To Biblically Respond To The New Us President?

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jan 23, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,318 views

    Many Christians worried that America will become more liberal under the new leader and leave Christian values. As Christians who want to do God's commands, how should we respond to our country's leader biblically, especially if we disagree with his policies?

    Praise God, the presidential inauguration last Wednesday has proceeded safely. America now has a new president and vice president. However, it is clear that not everyone likes the new president Joseph Biden. Jim Denison wrote, "Moments before the president-elect took the stage for his ...read more

    The Risen Christ Is With You

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 13, 2026
    based on 2 ratings
     | 188 views

    In the midst of tears, fear, confusion and discouragement, the Risen Lord Jesus was right there beside his distraught disciples and followers to empower them and encourage them. No matter what we are going through let’s never forget our living Savior will never leave us nor forsake us.

    Today’s meditation is based on John 20:14-15, Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him ...read more

    Do demons exist? And if they do, what do we know about them and how can we deal with them?

    Years ago, we had a popular preacher in our brotherhood named Ben Alexander. Ben had once been a Spiritualist Medium who held seances where he’d talk with the dead. Then he became a Christian, and spent much of his life explaining that a lot of seances he’d been part of (he said) were fake… but ...read more

    Practice Missional Living: Turning Worship Into Witness And Community Into Commission Series

    Contributed by Ron Auch Jr on Jun 8, 2025
     | 340 views

    Jesus didn’t say, “Attend Me.” He said, “Follow Me.” He didn’t say, “Build Me a monument.” He said, “Make disciples.” Missional living is the natural result of authentic faith. It’s what happens when the Church stops simply doing religion and starts living out the mission of Christ.

    Sermon 4: Practice Missional Living Turning Worship into Witness and Community into Commission Key Texts: • Matthew 28:18–20 • John 20:21 • 2 Corinthians 5:18–20 • Matthew 5:13–16 • Romans 10:13–15 Introduction: From Gathered to Sent The Church is not just a place where we come ...read more

    One Flock, One Shepherd: The Unfinished Mission

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 11, 2024
     | 1,165 views

    It’s not a small thing for Jesus’ followers to be scattered. He needs to gather us “so there will be one flock,” and even so there is “one shepherd.” Jesus cares for people all over the world. As one of His followers, do you care for people all over the world?

    Today, we conclude our week of praying for missions by fasting and praying. If your personal priorities were like favorites on your phone, what would be included? Like the saved numbers you place in your cell phone, what priorities would be included among your favorites? The care of your family, a ...read more

    The role of a Christian father as viewed in the life of Job

    Why Do We Keep Daddy Around? Job 1:1-12 1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters, 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and ...read more

    Zechariah's Seventh Vision: Wickedness Removed Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2022
     | 3,454 views

    This vision of a woman in a basket constitutes a promise from God to His people to remove wickedness from their midst. The previous vision (#6) was about removing individual rebels. This vision is the removal of the wicked system energizing sin.

    Today we come to one of the strangest passages in Scripture. It is recorded in Zechariah 5:5-11. Here Zechariah sees a vision of a basket, a woman in the basket, and two women with wings carrying the basket to Babylon. What does the basket represent? What about the woman in the basket? Are the two ...read more

    For one. If my life is easy and all good, maybe I better consider that I’m not doing everything I need to do for God. Because if it is all good, then Satan can leave you alone, like the Rich Man. And two. If you are going through or when you go throug

    based on 18 ratings
     | 25,322 views

    God would rather have a broken life than a beautiful lamb. He would rather have a surrendered man or a woman than scads of money. He would rather have us leave and make peace than lift our hands in praise when we’re in conflict with someone.

    Let’s think about how Paul was going to leave this world and how this applies to our exiting this world. 1- He wanted to exit while serving the Lord 2- He wanted to exit while preaching strongly 3- He wanted to exit while compelled by God’s Spirit

    INTRO.- ILL.- There was an elderly man at home, upstairs, dying in bed. He smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies baking. He wanted one last cookie before he died.

    Once you are in Christ you have God’s ‘Hedge’ around you? That does not mean problems or adversaries won’t arise? There will be more than you can imagine but you won’t be going through it all alone. The presence of God will never leave you nor forsake you

    Sometimes we face situations that leave us filled with fear and uncertainty. We don’t know how to respond because our situation seems impossible. But God works in ways we cannot see and if we will do life with Him, our growing trust in Him will compel us

    In Matthew 12:1-2 isn't Jesus just IGNORING parts of the law that He doesn't like? Is He walking to the EDGE of the law to explore where the BOUNDARIES really are? Is He the kind of person who would drive past a policeman just over the SPEED LIMIT or leav
