You Just Don't Get It, Do You? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 15, 2020

They are so hungry that they miss the point Jesus is trying to make. Will we miss that point, too?

Tuesday of the 6th Week in Course 2020 “You Just Don’t Get It” I’ve been a teacher pretty much all my career, at all levels except elementary school.

Looking For Leftovers Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 29, 2014

Can God supply all your needs? The Disciples struggled with that idea... and so do many of us. Why do we have such a hard time trusting God in this and how can we learn to believe Him more?

OPEN: I once read the true story of a family that was sitting down at the dinner table for their evening meal. But one of the girls wasn’t happy because they were having leftovers, and she complained about it. The dad was not happy about that and spent a few moments explaining to her ...read more

The Half-Time Speech

Contributed by Larry Turner on Feb 20, 2014

Just as the disciples felt they were winning the game, the second half came and they lost badly. Or so they thought.

Half-time speeches are meant to motivate. My son Shane forever complains that the Panthers should make “adjustments” at half-time. So half-time is when things happen to win games. Today we are looking at Jesus half-time speech. Jesus and his “Fantastic Twelve” have been on ...read more
