Why Is The Kingdom Open To The ‘least Of These’? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 20, 2026

Lost And Found

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 29, 2023

Not everybody who is lost wants to be found, and when God finds us, we often rebel - at first - against being brought home.

Have any of you ever tried to put an injured cat into a carrying case to take it to the vet? How many of you got scratched for your pains? It doesn’t seem quite fair, does it?

Romans Chapter 3 Verses 9-13 - Messages In Romans – As It Were; Stinking Sour Milk And Putrid Rotting Fruit - Message 9 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 14, 2023

The righteousness of the natural man is sick and putrid and corrupt. All have sinned and not one seeks God or pursues righteousness. What does “good” really mean? The whole body is sick with sin, and evil rapidly spreads.

The Birth Of The Messiah Foretold

Contributed by Peter Reece on Nov 27, 2022

The genealogy of Jesus in Matthew's gospel looks ultra boring, but does in fact have important things to say. Matthew shows not only that Jesus is the Messiah, but He is the only possible Messiah.

I love watching all those television programmes where people explore their ancestry. Do you? In the words of the Ancestry website – it brings their back-story to life. Which is exactly what Matthew seeks to do with his genealogy of Jesus. Matthew wants to bring the back-story if Jesus, the ...read more

The sound heard today by a lot of the church says things like God wants you to be rich, God wants you to have 3 mansions, or God wants you to drive a Bentley, God never said he wanted you to drive a Bentley.

The Message of the Sound By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Let me clarify for all my Cleveland Brown fans, emphatically yes, I am a Cleveland Browns Fan, but I do live in Michigan, so I have some partiality towards the Detroit Lions and that is where it stops O-H-I-O.

Clothed With Christ Series

Contributed by Lewis Martin on May 31, 2025

Have you ever tried to prove yourself—only to realize the gift was already yours? In Galatians 3, Paul reminds us that we don’t need to earn God’s love—we’re already clothed in Christ.

I remember the first suit I ever bought for myself. It was 1988, and I was working at Men’s Wearhouse—so I had access to the good stuff, not Hart, Shafner, and Marx, but high quality suits. I picked out a charcoal gray, double-breasted suit with chalk line pinstripes. Sharp. Classic. It was a $300 ...read more
