    And He Walks With Me Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 28, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,615 views

    Many theologians and preachers ignore the fact that God created us because He wanted to be with us. God is LOOKING for someone to walk and talk with. Are you that person God is looking for?

    When Jesus was about to be born to Mary, an angel appeared to Joseph and said “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). Matthew 1:23 GOD WITH US! Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be looking at God’s desire to ...read more

    How many of us have found ourselves with burdens that affect our lives? In reality, we all have our hardships, don’t we? Have you ever wondered why God lets His children suffer such unpleasantries? Let me give you a little hint. It has to do with our huge egos that think we are the ones in ...read more

    James 1 - Faith In Trials

    Contributed by Hannah Pinkstone on Dec 11, 2002
    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,577 views

    When we go through trials our joy comes from standing firm on the promises that God has given us. It’s through difficult times that faith has the biggest part to play. We show the reality of God’s love for us because we have joy when life is difficult.

    I want to explain to those who don’t know, what its like to be a Cardiff city fan. Each season begins with promise, and I feel a sense of expectation and excitement. For the first half of the season, I hope, and dream and see a bit of just what can be achieved with great people such as Andy Legg ...read more

     | 6,758 views

    The atonement is essential to the Christian message and should always be a priority. Although there are many teachings that are appropriate, we must not allow the peripheral to push out the essential.

    based on 13 ratings
     | 24,746 views

    Almost everyone has a picture in their minds of what Jesus looks like... but almost no one visualizes Him the way He's shown in Revelation 5. Why does God paint us a portrait of a wounded lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes?

    A preacher was showing a child a painting of Jesus. Trying to explain that we didn’t really know what Jesus looked like he said: "It's not really Jesus. It’s just an artist's conception of him." The child looked long and hard at the picture and said; "Well, it sure looks like him," ...read more

    Caution: Restoring New Testament Evangelism Series

     | 7,006 views

    This lesson examines what the Bible means when it talks about evangelism and then compares this to what we see being called "evangelism" today. Have we redefined evangelism to ease our consciences?

    Introduction Our first lesson was a reminder of our mission. We have been given the green light to evangelize by the Lord, and this mission was given to each and every Christian, not just a select few. Each one of us are called by God to “love our neighbor as ourselves” and to have an ...read more
