John 3:16 Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 23, 2024

When John wrote these words, Jews would have thought God would love only the righteous. But the Bible doesn’t say God loves good-looking people. The Bible doesn’t say God loves rich and successful people.

Think with me about some of the most famous sayings in history. Martin Luther King Jr said famously, “I have a dream…” John Fitzgerald Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Perhaps there is no more famous sentence anywhere than John ...read more

The Suffering Sovereign Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jun 27, 2009

If we want our lives to count for eternity, then we must recognize our sin, recognize the Son and repent. That is we must trust Christ with our lives and follow Him to a whole new way of living.

Confident To Serve Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 25, 2019

As Jesus continued to provide instructions regarding the ministry He had called the disciples to engage, again He emphasized the difficulty they would encounter. Although this was a worthy task, with eternal implications, their opposition would be evident and extensive.

Confident to Serve Matthew 10: 23-28 As we continue to study the conversation Jesus had with the disciples in order to prepare them for Kingdom ministry, again we find the Lord being totally honest with them about what to expect. While their task was certainly worthwhile, having eternal ...read more

Forgiveness

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Oct 26, 2005

Many look at the concept and action of forgiveness in light of the negative connotation of the term the “F word!” They avoid saying it and doing it and feel for some mysterious reason that they are exempt from doing what Jesus described as being essential

“Forgiveness!” On the Lighter side: These are all apparently true statements made by important people... "I’m not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president." -Hillary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents "The president has kept all of the ...read more

You Have A Soul

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 22, 2022
