Are The Father, Son, And Holy Spirit The Same Essence?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 25, 2023

In the church, a lot of confusing language is used to try and explain or define things.

Today we will look at the Trinity, often defined as "one in ‘essence,’ three in person." What does that mean exactly? God is three Persons, and the name 'God' implies one ‘essence.’ If God is "three Persons," how can there be "one" ‘essence’? The meaning of the ...read more

God Opposes The Proud Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Jul 7, 2023

In Daniel 4:1-37, we see a living illustration of the Biblical truth that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Introduction According to the Bible, the root problem at the very core of all of our lives is pride. Now I know that’s nothing new. This problem first surfaced in the Garden of Eden. The problem with pride is that it robs us not only of a full and meaningful relationship with other people ...read more

Be Steadfast

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

At a church fellowship supper, some Christian men were talking about their jobs.

One of them spoke up and said, “I have a good job offer but it would require that I would have to move too far from the church.” The man he was talking to said, “Take the job, you can always find another church somewhere else!” This man’s answer is typical of many people in our age. That is, ...read more

A King Like This - Part 2

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 26, 2020

As Jesus came to earth as a baby, destined to grow up and be the Lamb of God to be sacrificed for the sins of the world, He voluntarily limited the use of His divine attributes.

Last time we answered two very important questions: “What does the Incarnation mean for Jesus?” and “What does the Incarnation mean for us?” What does this mean for Him? Jesus, who had come to earth as God and King, put on a body. He was God, but He restricted the independent use of His deity, ...read more

Silent Solitude

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 3, 2021

Job 3:26, "I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.” Do you share Job's sentiment? To say this past year has been stressful is an understatement. As we begin our new year, maybe it's time to incorporate some silent solitude into our daily regimen.

SILENT SOLITUDE Peace and quiet. How many times have you wished for that? How many times have you tried to get it but were unsuccessful? Maybe you share Job's sentiment. Job 3:26, "I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.” We can understand why Job would say this. ...read more

All Prepared

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Jan 26, 2021

Jesus warns us to assess the genuineness of our faith and be prepared for His return. Do we look like the Church, but are devoid of the Holy Spirit? Instead of lives transformed by the power of Christ, are our lives more like performance art? Jesus is coming at any moment! Are you prepared?

INTRODUCTION Do you agree that in God’s master plan, there is no such thing as “coincidence”? A few weeks ago, your pastor asked if I would be willing to preach today. Not only did I tell him “Yes!” on the spot, but I also told him that I knew exactly what I wanted to preach. You see, God had ...read more

Celebrate Salvation!

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

This impulse must always live among us: a joyful seeking after the LORD. For we’ve seen how God has saved us through his only Son. We have such great reason for joy, even if we possess little, or even if we have much to grieve. Even so, there is great joy in Christ.

If there’s ever a special occasion, we like to celebrate it with a meal. If someone graduates from school, or has a significant birthday, or if there’s a wedding, we get together for something to eat and drink. For food can be very festive. We see this in the Bible too. Think of all the feasts God ...read more
