    Children Of Light

    Contributed by Thadius Sales on Mar 27, 2020
     | 6,163 views

    Out of the darkness comes the light. Every workday, at dawn’s early light, Kevin Napier crawls into a long, black hole. Coal mining is safer than it used to be, though it’s still dusty and dirty, and there’s always concern that something terrible could happen deep inside a cramped shaft.

    Ephesians 5:8–14 NRSV 8 For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord, you are light. Live as children of light— 9 for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. 10 Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but ...read more

    Being Led By The Spirit Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on May 16, 2014

     | 25,411 views

    This lesson explores what scripture teaches us regarding being led by the Holy Spirit and compares what the Bible says to some common beliefs as to how the Spirit leads God's people.

    Not many people will disagree with the statement that the Spirit of God leads Christians today, but when you ask how He leads us, the debate begins. Pretty much every religious group that calls itself "Christian" believes they are being led by the Spirit to believe and practice the things they do ...read more

    Why does James get so harshly judgmental against the wealthy?

    “Faith That Works: Principled Living” James 5:1-12 Throughout his letter, James has been bold and blunt. He’s not wasted any words as he has outlined the basics of living out the Christian faith. He has told us to be tough in tough times, to stand firm against temptation, to ...read more

    In our verses for today, we will look at what worship is all about from the point of view of Jesus. He connects worship with three of the seven key areas of our lives. The Financial, the Intellectual and the Relational aspects.

    The world can't understand the concept of submission... and it's little wonder they don't. It makes no sense. Is submission really all that important in our marriages?

    In the Greek integrity meant to be true, genuine, trustworthy, reliable, and valid. We must live up to those virtues today.

    Last week we began looking at flaws in our lives that might hinder us from being effective ambassadors for Jesus. Patience was our subject from last week. We read about Saul’s lack of patience and how it led to disobedience. This disobedience caused an end to come to his kingdom, a kingdom ...read more

    I have often wondered just what Jesus would have seen that day that caused so much righteous anger to rise up within him? Surely these Moneychangers and Shopkeepers were no more frustrating to Jesus than so many of the religious leaders he had encountered throughout His ministry!
