The Floating Axhead

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 19, 2016

Living A Life Of Holiness

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 7, 2016

Many of us here have struggled and continue to struggle with a holiness-deficiency. Holiness demands our separation from the world and sin to live a life of purity before and for our Creator.

The Poverty In Riches Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 14, 2018

A rich young man came to Jesus desiring eternal life. He felt good about himself, but left saddened because he was unwilling to meet the Lord's demands for eternal life. We must come to the Lord by faith alone for salvation.

The Poverty in Riches Mark 10: 17-22 Our text today reveals a young man very eager to get to Jesus. It is apparent that he had heard of Jesus’ ministry and the promise of eternal life. We will discover that this young man was blessed with all one could desire. He had wealth; he had status and ...read more

Unnatural Retrogression Of Man Series

The suppression of the truth which God gave to the heathen became the basis for their idolatry and as a result they worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator.

Unnatural Retrogression of Man Romans 1:24-32 Now we see the results of man’s revolution against God. In the remainder of this chapter it says three times that God gave them up. 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among ...read more

Lot's Day Vs. Our Day

Contributed by Thilini Perera on Jan 3, 2021

“IT WAS THE SAME IN THE DAYS OF LOT” said Jesus in Luke chapter 17:28 teaching invaluable lessons about the latter days, popularly known as the End-times. Jesus masterfully points to the parallel conditions between the two eras, LOT’S DAY and OUR DAY.

When we dissect the BELOW text we can identify two noticeable eras paralleled in the text along with three people categories belonging to each era, namely the 1. SODOMITES, 2. LOT’S FAMILY and 3. LOT’S WIFE. It’s worth looking at the conduct and the choices made by people of each category, as they ...read more

The Christian Response To Injustice Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Christians are not unique in their opposition to injustice, but we find their uniqueness as we examine the response they are to make to unjust acts against them, and the reasons for making this response

Injustice is an evil that has been so universally despised that one need not depend on Christian authors alone to attack it. Cambyses, the king of ancient Persia, had a keen sense of justice. When he discovered that a close friend was taking advantage of his secure relationship to him by selling ...read more

Grounded In Christ Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jun 9, 2020

Some miss the gate. Some lose their way, by false teaching, counterfeit spirituality, or not putting beliefs into practice. Some are grounded in Christ, and stand firm in the storms of life!

Healthy Disciples: GROUNDED IN CHRIST—Matthew 7:13-27 Read Matthew 7:13-14. This is troubling. We know that many people in the world are not interested in eternal life with Christ as Lord and King, and that troubles us. Jesus implies, however, that many who claim to be Christians might not be ...read more

Praying With Jesus: Hallowed Be Your Name Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 15, 2019

God's name stands for him. When we pray for his name to be hallowed, 1) We are saying that he is the foundation of our lives, and 2) We are committing ourselves to show his holiness by our worship and actions in the world.

PRAYING LIKE JESUS: Hallowed Be Your Name In Luke 11:1-2, we read, “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’ … He said to them, ‘When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name.”’ Jesus wants us to pray that ...read more

The Resolve Of The Remnant

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Jul 28, 2019

Despite greater privileges and blessings from God, many of us struggle to honor God and remain faithful to Him. We seem to take His Grace for granted. There will come a time when we will be held accountable to Him for our choices, and only a remnant who stay faithful until the end will be saved.
