Unknowingly Shipwrecking Your Faith Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 16, 2017

This is the sixth message in this series on Faith. The underlying theme of the series has been our responsibility for faith either manifesting or not manifesting in our lives. For a person to say “I have faith” and not produce “faith results” means that person is not walking in faith the way he ...read more

God Is Really Jealous?

You Have A "Tell”

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 14, 2022

In the game of Poker, a player will look for behaviors to determine what kind of cards another player is holding. In the same way, Satan looks for behaviors in our lives to see if he can get an advantage ver us.

Open your Bibles to First Peter chapter five.

Hinderances To Spiritual Growth Series

Contributed by Jerry Colter on Apr 22, 2022

The things that hinder most Christians from maturing are things they know but do not do. This is 99% of Christian maturity. Too many Christians are looking for some big key that God is going to give them to straighten out everything in their life.

Stages On The Journey

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

On the journey of faith, our spiritual vision is often clouded. As we continue on the journey, Jesus corrects our spiritual vision. We are to remain on the journey of faith, looking to Jesus for improved vision. Luke gives us three reasons.

I am looking at this passage as a portrayal of the Christian journey of faith. Like all journeys, the Christian pilgrimage through life has a point of departure, a destination, and a route through which we travel from one to the other. Verse 39 shows us a pilgrim who has just begun the journey. ...read more

Are We Allowed To Judge?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 29, 2021

In Matthew 7:20, Jesus said, “Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” You hear people all the time say, “Don’t judge me!” So, how do we evaluate good fruit from bad fruit? And, as believers, are we allowed to judge others?

Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Speck And Beam

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022

Thomas Merton said, “Nothing is more suspicious in a man who seems holy, than an impatient desire to reform other men.”

Many issues have both psychological and spiritual components as we hear today in our Gospel, “How can you say to your brother,‘…let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye?
