The Ills That Befall

Contributed by Rick Boyne on Sep 5, 2017

"Christians differ from pagans not in the ills that befall them but in what they do with the ills that befall them." - St. Augustine. Christians should respond to tragedy, sickness, and trials in light of who they are in Jesus Christ.

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 25, 2017

Jesus spoke of a disaster in Jerusalem that killed 18 people when a tower collapsed. The location of the tower at Siloam is unknown, although it may have been part of Jerusalem’s wall near the pool of Siloam. Jesus also mentioned a group of Galilean men

Judea Lesson: Repent or Perish Luke 13:1-5 1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they ...read more

Heaven And Earth Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 24, 2021

The cross reminds us that God doesn’t intend for this fallen world, with its death, disaster, and corruption, to be our home forever.

Weather! It’s everywhere, amen? Duh … pretty obvious. We’re surrounded by it. No matter where you go, you’ll encounter … weather … and it has a pretty big impact on our lives.

The Fruits Of Repentance Series

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Oct 6, 2019

The Big Idea: Repentance is the gateway to holiness. Lent is a time of contemplation; turning—or returning—to God.

King Frederick II, King of Prussia in the eighteenth-century, once visited a prison in Berlin. The inmates there tried to convince him they were unjustly imprisoned; that is, all of them but one. That one sat quietly in a corner, while the rest protested their innocence. Seeing him sitting there ...read more

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Oct 6, 2019

Because God never gives up on us, we too must never give up

From the archives of Winston Churchill’s life comes the report of a singular commencement address. After enduring a lengthy introduction, Churchill rises from his seat, walks to the podium and stares fixedly at his audience of new graduates. "Never give up!" he asserts solemnly. He ...read more

The Problem With Karma

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 11, 2021

I read about a recent survey titled, The top 10 most seductive, unbiblical ideas embraced by American adults. Karma was one of them. It said 33% of those with a biblical worldview embraced this concept. That's a problem.

THE PROBLEM WITH KARMA I read an article about a recent survey authored by George Barna, conducted by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University titled, The top 10 most seductive, unbiblical ideas embraced by American adults.

The Reality Of Accidents

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

Christians have different views of accidents. Some feel there are no accidents, but that all is God's will. In this message I make it clear that accidents are real and seldom ever God's will.

No doubt everyone of us has had our share of accidents. If not in a car, or with a knife, or some other sharp object whereby we cut ourselves, then all of us have at some point in our life fallen down. It is a part of growing up to fall down, and so it is hard to conceive that even baby Jesus did ...read more

The Seven Causes Of Suffering Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

We need to look at suffering from the point of view of the great Christian thinkers of the centuries, and not lock ourselves into any one simple theory that ends up making God the culprit.

Someone has said that half truths are whole lies. One of the greatest causes for conflicts and misunderstanding among Christians through the ages has been over enthusiasm for a half truth. People will take an idea that has a portion of the truth and wrap it up in a box and say it is The Truth. ...read more

Repentance

Contributed by Tony Abram on Nov 8, 2020

Moreover, true repentance never exists except in conjunction with faith, while on the other hand, wherever there is true faith, there is also real repentance. The two are but different aspects of the same turning--a turning away from sin in the direction of God...The two cannot be separated.

Salvation And Repentance Series

Contributed by Brett Crosson on Jun 25, 2019

For a person to come to Christ they must repent of their sins. This message encourages people to repent.

WHAT IS REPENTANCE? 1. Repentance is more than ‘sorrow for sin’. If I were caught for speeding and given a heavy fine, I would be very sorry, but that would not prove my repentance. I might just be sorry I got caught! 2. Repentance, instead, would mean sorrow for a good and wise law that I had ...read more

A Message For 9-11 Sunday

Compost Your Fig Tree Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 18, 2021

If our fig tree isn’t bearing fruit, it’s time to dig around it and apply some good compost. Both are important, essential actions.
