God's Grace To Nineveh

Contributed by James Jack on Dec 14, 2005

We don’t like our enemies receiving mercy, but God is gracious to all who repent.

Jonah 3 When we read of the prophet Jonah many of us go away thinking, “what a fool!” What a selfish fool!” But what many of us don’t realise is that our reaction to the prospect of our enemies getting away with it is exactly the same as Jonah’s.

Contributed by Darrin Fish on May 6, 2014

What do we need to do when it feels like we are alone and have no where to turn.

There once was a boy playing baseball by himself in the backyard. • Who said "I’m the greatest batter in the world!" • Then He tossed the ball in the air and would swing the bat. • The Problem is He swung and he missed. • Not one to give up he throws the ball up ...read more

Look And Live

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 22, 2022

In this text we are going to talk about something that most folks do not like to talk about, that is SNAKES!

Illus: When it comes to snakes, most of us are like the fellow who said that the only kind of snakes he likes are dead snakes. However, we all have seen some people who enjoy playing with these slimy creatures. Every time we see people doing this, we experience a comforting feeling from within ...read more

Time To Go To Egypt

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 17, 2001

Fathers today, like Jacob, have been irresponsible; but, like him also, we can see that God is giving us another chance to redeem our relationships with our children, to allow Him to keep His promises, and to use major resources for Kingdom business.

This past Monday was our son-in-law’s birthday. We’ve cared about this young man for a long time, but now he’s even more special. He is our granddaughter Olivia’s father. And that makes him extra special. So we sent Don a birthday card and a little gift, and got an email response. In part, it ...read more

Find Salvation At Jesus' Feet

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jun 30, 2001

Like the woman who had lived a sinful life may we find salvation at Jesus’ feet.

"At Jesus’ feet..." That is a phrase we hear a number of times in the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) Can you think of some of the times that people fell down at Jesus’ feet? Can you recall why various people placed themselves at the feet of Jesus and what they did there? There were ...read more

How To Become Wise

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Dec 16, 2015

Hebrew scholars in Jesus’ day clearly expected Bethlehem to be the birth place of the Messiah. These men were from Persia whose knowledge of the Hebrew Scriptures could be traced back to the time of Daniel.

How to Become Wise Matthew 2: 1-2, 10-11 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to ...read more

The Shame Rolled Away.

Contributed by Milo Velebir on Aug 13, 2009

In Gilgal the shame of Egypt (our sins) was rolled away (like the grave stone from Jesus’ tomb).

Easter 2009-04-12 Joshua 5:9-12 9 And the Lord said to Joshua, Today the shame of Egypt has been rolled away from you. So that place was named Gilgal, to this day. 10 So the children of Israel put up their tents in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the ...read more

Imitating Our Father

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 2, 2025

When it comes to extending mercy, it seems the Church has lost its way. Too many are quick to condemn people they don't like. This message is about being more like our Heavenly Father when it comes to acting with mercy.

There is a characteristic of our Father that is a part of our DNA as His sons and daughters that we are seeing less evident in the Church today. God’s heart for people. Now, you may be thinking, “Bro. Barry, hold up. What do you mean the Church is showing less of God’s heart today? What about ...read more

"Even So, Come, Lord Jesus.”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 31, 2022

In this message, we would like to take these three verses and look at the prayer John prayed that we seldom pray.

John prayed for the return of the Lord! Illus: When we think of the return of the Lord Jesus, we can not help thinking of the game children often play. This game is “Hide and Seek.” The children choose a place to be a “base” and then one child closes his eyes and counts to one hundred. The ...read more

Easy As Falling Off Your Horse

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007

We, like Paul, as followers of Christ, Christians, are sent to the Gentiles of our time: secular humanists, moral relativists, materialists, even atheists, to open their eyes, like Saul’s were opened by Ananias, so they may turn from darkness to light.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Today we celebrate the Apostle Paul’s conversion. As Saul Paulus of Tarsus, he was a rising star in the rabbinical leadership of the time. When Saint Stephen was stoned to death as the first Christian martyr, Paul stood by, ...read more
