    As Paul stands before Festus he gives us an example of how a Christian should live as the citizen of an earthly nation.

    A Father was trying to teach his fifth-grade son the value of tithes and offerings. The boy listened attentively, and then he went on to say, “I still don’t understand why you have to pay taxes.” To this the Father replied, “Because the Bible says we must give unto Caesar ...read more

    The eyes of people will be opened if they will just listen and believe the still small voice of the Holy Spirit who speaks to them.

    Text: Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He” (John 4:26). The eyes of a Samaritan woman are unexpectedly open as she makes a routine trip to the well to draw water for the day. After Jesus began his ministry, people began to come to him to be baptized by his disciples. His popularity ...read more

    Do You Get It?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2023
     | 1,515 views

    There is nothing that Jesus cannot do. But we can only get the message if we don’t let ourselves be distracted by trivia, and if our relationship with God is healthy.

    One of the reasons people loved to listen to Jesus was that he talked about things they knew about, scenes and events from their everyday lives. But the lives of the people Jesus talked to can seem very far away from our own, sometimes. His illustrations don’t always mean that much to us. What’s ...read more

    "Shema" means to listen! Jesus said that His sheep are listening in order to hear His voice! We must listen to, obey, and follow Jesus every single day...always.

    This is an idea I received while listening to a cassette of Bro. Bob Harrington "The Chaplain of Bourbon Street" He is a dynamic speaker and a great man of God.

    There are some who do not completely understand the joy we have in being Christians. A lot of people are like a little boy who went to see his grandfather…. My friends, God did not save us to let us sit and sour. He expects us too be an example to a lost and dying world of His love. Too many times, ...read more
