Changing Your Mind Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

Mark tells us that the very first message that Jesus preached was that the kingdom of God was near and, therefore, people are to repent and believe the good news. This was the same message that John the Baptist had been preaching.

A mother calling to her son shouted, "Johnny, tell your sister to get in the house out of the rain." "I can't mom," came the reply. "And just why can't you?" demanded his mother. "Because we are playing Noah's Ark mom, and she's one of the ...read more

"ordinary People For An Extraordinary Calling" Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 31, 2020

Jesus rarely calls the famous, the powerful, the influential, or the religious groups to preach the Gospel. He works best with those who feel that that have nothing to offer Him but follow and obey Him anyway.

The message of Jesus has not changed in over two thousand years. He still tells those with ears to hear to repent and believe in the Gospel. In His early ministry, He preached in His hometown synagogue and nearly got Himself killed as a result (Luke 4:16-30). Wherever Jesus went, He either ...read more

32) Becomming A Fisher Of Men Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022

Jesus called those who were Fishermen to become "Fishers of Men". This signified the spiritual focus they were to have in their lives as they followed Christ. Their true calling involved more than seeking to catch fish with a net, it involved catching men’s souls through the Gospel.

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Apr 11, 2021

It would not be an exaggeration, but an understatement to say God has already prearranged 1,000’s of events, waiting to happen in your life to increase you, to promote you and to bless you.

I have a plan! Illus. by Christian Cheong A famous British writer George Bernard Shaw once visited a sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein at his studio. The visitor noticed a huge block of stone standing in one corner and asked what it was for. "I don’t know yet. I’m still making plans." Shaw ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 22, 2017
