Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 18, 2021

For training purposes, the supervisor suddenly handed the nurse a wine glass that happened to be on a nearby shelf. The "director" asked the nurse to "lose" her thumbs by tucking them into her palms. It was uncomfortable and difficult to hold the glass.

Jesus asked James and John, “Can you drink the cup that I drink?” To answer, One can use Theology as Drama. e.g. A supervisor and a nurse did a re-enactment when a patient was going to have an operation on her thumbs the following day. The nurse asked, "Why? What's the matter with ...read more

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Nov 5, 2021

In the birth of our country and in the birth of Jesus we see the invisible, providential hand of God shaping nations and events in preparation for both; and that, more than anything else is what we need in our fractured and fragile country today.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Dec 1, 2021

Cornerstone Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 3, 2022

Placing the stone in your hand at the foot of the cross means that you are willing to no longer see yourself or the world as the guiding force at the center of your life and remind you that Jesus is the Cornerstone that guides our hearts, our thoughts, and our actions.

Cornerstone. The “cornerstone” is the first stone that is set when you start building with stone or brick. It’s the most important part of the building because the position of all the other stones or bricks are determined by the cornerstone. [Hold up piece of paper or bulletin.] Imagine that ...read more

The Ox, The Donkey & Thanksgiving

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 22, 2022

In Isaiah 1:3 God compared the thankfulness of His people to that of the ox and donkey, and said the animals won the prize hands down. How can brute beasts, who have so little intelligence, be much more aware of their Creator?

Romans 1:18-23 Why Is The World In Such A Terrible State? It’s In A Tailspin – Romans Message 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 25, 2023

This world is in disarray because of the weight of sin and departure from God. When the light of God is rejected, then darkness clasps the person’s hand, and leads him into its own dark domain. We look at the folly of idolatry, and the world in freefall.

God Answers Prayers

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on May 13, 2023

God has an avalanche; so many different kinds of answers to prayers in His hand. Even though there are uncountable number of people knocking at His door for answers, God never runs out of answers or gets tired of giving answers.

An Avalanche of Answers One of the benefits of coming to God is that you can’t come to God and go back empty handed. When we come to God, we receive answers to our prayers.

Time is coming and is at hand where God is about to break lot of unbroken vessels and use them in his ministry again. It’s a season of transition from unbrokenness to brokenness. We are becoming broken vessels for master’s use.
