"Do You Know Me?”

Contributed by Mike Bence on Feb 11, 2025

Our personal relationship with God is vital for this life and the eternal, we can’t simply rely on what we are told, we must know him ourselves. Jesus walked this earth but no one truly knew Him, we have that opportunity today and now to walk with Him and know Him.

Do You Know Me? John 14 8Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Don’t you believe ...read more

Under The Mighty Hand Of God - 1 Peter 5:6 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 24, 2025

Symptoms of pride are disobedience, human wisdom, self-sufficiency, burnout, self-condemnation, over-indulgence, rebellion against authority, unforgiveness, and demanding to know the hidden things.

1 Peter 5:5 Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up ...read more

I Have It All! Nothing Can Touch Me!

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Oct 2, 2025

Do we learn from others mistakes? Why would we measure success by materialism and forget the spiritual weight of missing out on eternal values? Do we think the one with the biggest toys wins the game? Stamp eternity on my eye lids.

Nebuchadnezzar's son disrespect brings about disaster

When King Nebuchadnezzar died, his son Belshazzar took his place. Like his father was in the beginning, he had a lot of pride and worshipped other gods.

"nimrod's Folly"

Contributed by John Huyser on Sep 5, 2023

From Sunday School I remember vividly all sorts of lessons on The Tower of Babel. I think almost all of them missed the mark. The issue is far less the Tower of Babel - in fact the tower is a symptom of humanity wanting to do their own thing without God. Jesus came down to reverse that.

It was a moment of folly, a church in Northwest Iowa prefers to forget. Busting at the seams, they broke ground on a new building in the early eighties. Their sanctuary and parking lot would double in size. Featured too were a large kitchen and fellowship hall and many a classroom and extra ...read more

It’s Not For You

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 16, 2024

Even though you are extremely blessed and experienced in your field of work, that does not mean you can perform God's work without His calling.

And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the LORD God.” 2 Chronicles ...read more

Servant Leadership (The World’s On Fire) - Mark 10:41-45 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 28, 2024

In 2020, our President was impeached, economy shut down, 40 million people lost their jobs, widespread corruption at the highest levels of our government are being exposed, and there are riots, beatings, and murders across the country. Jesus shows us that all these rise out of the same root cause.

Mark 10:41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever ...read more

Heman

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 15, 2024

Heman, in spite of living a holy life, wept for the sins that came along with His birth, i.e. the sins that came as part of the fall of mankind.

Psalm 51 and Psalm 88 were written by two saints of God when they were going through extreme agony. David wrote Psalm 51 after he sinned against Bathsheba. Psalm 88 was written by Heman, one of the sons of Asaph. Heman was a wise man and seer in David's kingdom. Heman had a very good ...read more

The General And The Servant Girl

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 23, 2024

We’re told that “Cleanliness is next to Godliness;” a bit of an overstatement, but it got generations of kids to wash their hands before dinner.

We’re told that “Cleanliness is next to Godliness;” a bit of an overstatement, but it got generations of kids to wash their hands before dinner. By the way, this saying is from John Wesley, not the Bible. “Wash me and I will be whiter than snow,” king David prayed (Ps 51:7). Spiritual ...read more

Godly Humility (Psalm 30)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jan 17, 2026

How does God teach us humility?

When we become proud, what does God teach us? Let’s look at Psalm 30. Who lifted us out of the depths, rescued us from the grave where our enemies could gloat over us? I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. Lord my God, I called to ...read more
