    It’s Time To Stop Pretending Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 3, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,097 views

    We are more like the Pharisees than we would like to admit - hiding our true selves from others and from God and blaming external things for the consequences of our own behavior. But Jesus offers real hope if we will open up to Him in relationship.

    The act of projection involves blaming things outside of yourself for your problems. The act of denying personal responsibility means it is the fault of your spouse, your boss, the government, the weather, or even that tool you were using. The Pharisees were masters at projection, and as it turns ...read more

    Solomon was a type of Christ, he was the son of David; but there is a greater son of David – Jesus Christ. The Queen of Sheba represents a person seeking Christ. Her fervency in seeking Solomon should be compared to our seeking of Jesus.

    God Of Mission

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 17, 2021
     | 2,873 views

    Talk 2 in my five-talk series on Jonah. Mission is God's mission. In the story of Jonah - and especially in view of what Jesus says about Jonah - we recognize that God is the master strategist in mission and he's breathtakingly creative.

    Jonah Talk 2: God of Mission Last week I started a new series on Jonah. My major theme last week was how compassionate God is. At the time of Jonah, the Assyrian Empire was expanding. Historians of the Middle East tell us how cruel the Assyrian rulers were. I spared you the grizzly details. ...read more

    We may not see Christ's triumphant presence in our lives, but He will give us the grace of faith to know that He is always here.

    Monday of 16th Week in Course Evil and adulterous generations are always seeking signs. That is to say, people who resist the call of Jesus say, “I’ll reform my ways when I see something that unequivocally tells me that I’m wrong.” They are looking for crosses in the sky, or thunderous voices ...read more

    The Stubborn Missionary

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 2,443 views

    More than Jonah could ever understand, Jesus reveals the greatness of God’s mercy. God’s mercy is for sinners. His mercy is for Jews, it’s for Gentiles, it’s for people of ever nation, for all who seek him.

    What does someone do when they’ve been rescued from great danger—pulled from a burning house, or saved from drowning? Or how does a person act after his life’s been spared: when he should’ve been killed, but someone had mercy? A natural response is the desire to tell people about it. Because what’s ...read more

    So, you've been swallowed by a fish. What next? This message looks at that scenario and offers solutions.

    What’s the worst that could happen? It’s a question that we often ask ourselves, or at least it’s a question that I often ask myself, maybe you never ask yourself that question.
