    We sometimes give up before we even start. We look and say we can’t win or even make a difference. The world is to tuff to overcome. But I wonder is it we can’t or is it we really just don’t have the confidence to take on the task?

    A World Waiting For Jesus

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Oct 5, 2012
     | 7,075 views

    Sometimes we come across to others as people who seem very different from what we claim to be. This happens when we fail to practice what we preach. It also happens when others make assumption about us without having all the facts.

    A world waiting for Jesus Isaiah 51:1-18 and Matthew 16:1-12 An honest man is being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turns yellow, just in front of him. He does the honest thing, and stops at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light ...read more

    The Wages Of Sin Is 'aaaughh!' Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Oct 13, 2025
     | 187 views

    Sin always pays its wages — and the result is death. We all run somewhere when confronted with our guilt — but where we run makes all the difference. Temporary fixes and “spiritual tourniquets” cannot save us; only Jesus can bring true healing and freedom.

    ### **Introduction – “AAAUGHH!”** Video Ill.: Goulash — The Skit Guys It has been a few weeks since we started our series The Gospel According to Peanuts, so let us take a moment to remind ourselves where we have been and why we are here.

    Breaking Point: Faith That Saves Vs. Faith That Doesn't Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 10, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,908 views

    At the height of popularity, Jesus makes hard statements that thin the crowds. He says many of his disciples didn't really believe. And they fell away. What's the difference between the faith that saves and the kind of faith that doesn't? This story reveals that truth.

    I’m sure that there are many of us here who have known or encountered people who were strong Christians from everything we could tell, but who have, for one reason or another, fallen away from the faith. They no longer claim to believe, they do not practice what Christ taught, they no longer ...read more

    R.A. Torrey once preached on the 2nd coming of Christ.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 30, 2022
     | 1,742 views

    What is the difference between God’s wrath and God’s discipline? We look into tribulation, persecution and discipline, and look at 4 reasons Christians can have difficulties. Remember this – godly living produces persecution. Trees standing against the wind have the strongest trunks.

    MESSAGE 8 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5 – PERSECUTION, DISCIPLINE AND TRIBULATION; WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? – PART 2 (Verse 9) REVISION FROM PART 1 We have been examining 1Thessalonians 5:9 and looking at the wrath of God.

    Condition Critical

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 1, 2023
     | 1,430 views

    The differences between us - you and me - and the brothers and sisters we find it so easy to criticize - shrinks to nothing at all when we look, instead, at the difference between ourselves and Jesus.

    A few years ago I had an interesting talk with my mother about the nature of friendship. At one point I made the comment that the only bottom line requirement I had for a friend was that I needed to know I’d be forgiven for my mistakes. Her response was telling. She said that I had unrealistically ...read more

    Many so-called Christians are now filled with all kinds of different ingredients that they are now something different, filled with a bunch of self-indulgent froth rather than solid Biblical substance.

    “Coffee House Christians” By Bishop M.L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- My wife likes the smell of coffee but she doesn’t like the taste of it. I like coffee I like it black no sugar and no cream. As a matter of fact I like coffee so much that I once developed a lump and had to have a ...read more

    Sounds pretty harsh, right? Jesus said the very same thing on four different occasions and it is recorded six different times in the Gospels. What can we do about it?

    Live For Today and Die Forever Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) … 1 ...read more

    People are different in so many ways, but in many ways, they are also the same. But no matter how similar or different people are, they all share the same core problem with the need for the same solution.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com The fourth chapter of John is a very familiar event to us. Most of us are very familiar with the woman at the well. So we should just be able to fly right past it, right? Wrong—because, like every other event in this book, this one is rich. It is full of ...read more

    In the parable of the sower: 1. The seed falls onto every type of soil without discrimination. 2. The different soils represent people’s different responses. 3. In the end there is a great harvest.

    Picture the scene in your mind. Jesus is teaching from a boat on the shore of the Lake of Galilee. There is a breeze blowing as he nods in the direction of a farmer in the distance. He is sowing seed in his field. As they watched the farmer at work, Jesus used the scene to teach a lesson about ...read more
