    based on 19 ratings
     | 22,211 views

    It's one game board, but two games. Checkers and Chess are not only played differently, but they illustrate for me the difference between how the world deals with conflict and how God would have us do so. Do you know the difference?

    A Christian goes beyond what is required by the Law. He is not only righteous in appearance, in action, but in character, obedient to God on the inside.

So she asked for the engagement ring and her picture, so that she might have use for it in the future. He ...read more

    The Limitless Love Of God

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jun 7, 2022
     | 2,488 views

    How should we respond to those who have radical beliefs and lifestyles contrary to our beliefs? The temptation is to counter their viciousness and label them as an enemy. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a model for the attitude that we are to have when faced with divisive social issues.

    If not careful, as we study the Bible, we will pick and choose passages that support certain points of view or principles to which we cling. Yet those who first heard what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount had no idea what Jesus was about to say. They understood the moralism of their day, ...read more

    Jesus said, 'You therefore must be perfect'. What an unreasonable demand! And yet, there are so many reasons to strive for it.

    INTRODUCTION We’re continuing in our series in the Sermon on the Mount.

As you may be aware, the last few weeks we have been focusing on the New Testament portion of the story. Specifically the story of Jesus. The ministry and the miracles of ...read more
