    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 5, 2023
     | 809 views

    Keeping our home fires burning. Is this referring to those who may have a fireplace in their home?

    The Return from A Wedding: Albeit this illustration applies to Israel and the second coming of Christ when He returns to establish His earthly Kingdom, it fundamentally applies to us, the church, as we await His return during the Rapture. This story is about a groom that had a wedding supper with ...read more

    What Are We To Do If There Is A Tater Family In Our Church?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 8, 2023
     | 1,560 views

    Although the title to this message mentions a Tater Family, the passage of Scripture speaks about the servants working with the pounds. Do Christians of today resemble the servants in the Scripture?

    This is the story about the pounds. This story tells of a certain nobleman who received a kingdom, and it showed the followers of Jesus what they were to do during the time between when Jesus would leave and his Second Coming. The followers were to be unwavering and fruitful while he was gone. ...read more

    The testimony of the Spirit to the message which the disciples would bear.

    THE COMING OF THE COMFORTER. John 15:26-27. As we enter this part of our text, it is well to note, first, the certainty of the event: “When the Comforter IS COME” (John 15:26a). But when did the disciples receive the Holy Spirit? It may appear at first glance in John’s Gospel that He ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Have Spiritually Blurred Vision?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 24, 2023
     | 4,167 views

    What does it mean in having blurred vision? Blurred vision is the deficiency of sharpness of visual perception, causing objects to show up cloudy or out of focus.

    The essential drivers of obscured vision are refractive issues – myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (imperfection in the curvature of the eye), or presbyopia (gradual loss of seeing close things clearly). Blurred vision can likewise be an indication of a more ...read more

    Do We Have A Vision Of Goodness?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 4, 2023
     | 719 views

    Are we focused just on what and who is inside our church doors? Or are we looking, searching and sharing what we have with others so that they may come in?

    In this context, vision alludes to the disclosure (prophesy) that the prophets would obtain from God. Where there is obliviousness of God, sin and crime go out of control. The public moral compass of society relies upon the knowing God’s directions, yet it likewise relies upon individuals keeping ...read more

    A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 19, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,051 views

    When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

    There was a man on a business trip and when he checked in he was given one of the middle seats on the airplane. He was tired and he all he wanted to do was sleep, so he got a little bit irritated when the young girl sat next to him started to ask questions: “Mister, do you brush your teeth?” “Yes,” ...read more

     | 780 views

    In John 14:15, God commands us to keep His commandments if we love Him.

    This statement given by our Lord to his disciples, reads as a command. In other versions, it is translated as a statement of fact. For example: 1. New American standard Bible: “if you love me, you will keep my commandments.” 2. New international version: “if you love me, you will do what I ...read more

    Acts 17 is the story of a monotheistic Jew smack dab in the middle of polytheistic Gentiles. Acts 17 is the story of a narrow minded former Pharisee surrounded by broad minded philosophers. Conversations with God believers. Paul found common ground even with Athenians. (Barna quote)

    God’s interest isn’t limited to whether or not you are swearing falsely. God’s interest is in whether or not you are speaking falsely.

    I’ve been racking my brains all week to find a lead-in to this week’s commandment without referring to politics. But I keep coming back to it like a moth to a candle.
