    At a conference in Houston, speaker Marti Ensign, a missionary to Africa, told of bringing some African pastors to the United States for a big meeting.

    Seven Reasons Why The Resurrection Of Christ Is So Important

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Apr 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,147 views

    The resurrection is not only a fundamental part of the Gospel, but it is the glue that holds every part of the Gospel together. Without it, Christians are believing in vain and are without hope.

    Opening: Unlike other religions, Christianity is based on Christ Jesus: His incarnation to be a Man, His life and teachings, His death and resurrection, His ascension to heaven, and His second coming.  Christ is the center of Christianity. No Christ, no Christians, or no Christ’s followers! ...read more

    The Cost Of The Cross

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on May 4, 2025
     | 260 views

    There is a cost involved in everything we do. It even cost us something to follow Jesus and yes, there is a cost even for The Cross

    Introduction: Counting the Cost Some things in life are easy to say but harder to live out. I remember a young firefighter in training. He was passionate, excited, and couldn’t wait to get out there and fight fires. But during a live burn drill, the flames got hotter than he expected, the smoke ...read more

    Here’s an answer that relies on the everlasting good that came from the murder of Jesus Christ.

    Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Course 2024 As our prayer group looked at the Scriptures we have just heard, one member asked, “Isn’t this Isaiah reading something from Good Friday?” And she was right. This is one of Isaiah’s “Servant songs” describing what we know as the prophesied sufferings of the ...read more

    Setting Our Minds On Divine Things

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 12, 2024

     | 787 views

    Jesus taught his disciples to set their minds on divine things such as denying themselves and taking up their crosses to follow him. He added to that statements about "losing" our lives and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. What does all this mean?

    THERE ARE PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE THAT CAN CREATE FEAR AND POSSIBLY DISTRESS DUE TO THEIR BLUNT, BUT HIDDEN MEANING. IN LUKE 14:26, WE ARE TOLD THAT “IF ANYONE COMES TO ME AND DOES NOT HATE FATHER AND MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS—YES, EVEN THEIR OWN LIFE—SUCH A PERSON CANNOT BE MY ...read more

    We're called to live our faith genuinely and not hiddenly. To do that we need to know what our identity is as redeemed children of God.

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 985 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more
