    We are surely walking in the last days as we see mass media and public opinion sway to the point of eroding the very foundations of truth on which our faith and trust have have stood. We need the light of many candles to expose the evil plan birthed in fear and worry.

     | 9,827 views

    Have you ever been falsely accused? Maybe you have dealt with attack, even while trying to do a good deed. Jesus faced continual assaults from the adversary. We must lean on Him and press on, even in the face of opposition.

    Attacked with False Accusation Mark 3: 22-30 Have you ever been falsely accused? Maybe you have been maliciously attacked while seeking to do a good deed for someone else. Likely we all have dealt with situations where our actions or motives have been misrepresented, and we were unnecessarily ...read more

    Things Aren’t Always What They Seem To Be

    We must make our brothers and sisters in Christ (as well as the lost) feel the real need to be a part of the worshipping community. If we are persecuted for our work, we can take comfort in the knowledge that in the end God will fashion eternity.

    We can’t have someone else’s faith.

    Hebrews 4:2 For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. The Israelites failed to trust what God was saying to them in the wilderness. God promised that he would care ...read more

     | 9,137 views

    The struggles we face as we journey with the Lord are varied and many. None are more difficult that the battles that rage within our minds. If we are to overcome, we must approach this battle from a biblical approach. (A continuation of previous study)

    Preparing our Heart and Mind (Part 2) Philippians 4: 4-9 We began to consider these powerful verses in our last study, and I hope to conclude them today. Paul was well aware of the various struggles the church faced. Society presented particular challenges and there were disagreements and ...read more

    God Of Love, God Of Justice: A Future Heaven, A Future Hell

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 26, 2021
     | 1,010 views

    God's works are many in the world and of particular beauty. Yet there is also the proclivity of man toward evil. God allows for free will, which opens the doors to almost any possibility. Which explains why the world is so messed up.

    “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires ...read more

    We need to be diligent in teaching the full Gospel.

    Last week, we continued in the study of Jesus who is our Great High Priest which was introduced in Hebrews 4:14-16. Chapter 5 teaches us that Jesus is High Priest as well as King and Prophet. Psalm 110:4 is quoted to show us that Jesus belonged to a priesthood of the order of Melchizedek. ...read more

     | 2,881 views

    In chapter 4. Paul warns for the coming apostasy in the church. He talks about three classes of ministers: good ministers with persuasive preaching, godly ministers who practiced what they preached, and growing ministers who were making notable progress for the kingdom of God.

    Subject: Godly Suggestions for Growing Ministers Text: 1 Timothy 4:12-16 “Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them. 12 Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young.

    The Transforming Power Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Mar 19, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,570 views

    How God changes a coward to a conqueror, a fearful man into a rock in His kingdom. Transformation is the difference between our faith and most religions of the world. As a continuous process, perfected on the day of the Lord.

    More often in the church we hear testimonies of men and women saved by grace. In various ways we all joyfully testified of what God has done for us. On the other hand to speak of what God is doing in our life at any stage is hard to tell. Therefore the single, most important discerning ...read more

    The paralyzed man at the Bethesda pool needed a change, and Jesus could heal him! Jesus can change our lives, but we have to respond to him in faith.

    CHANGING THE NARRATIVE—John 5:1-18 Read John 5:1-3. For many years, skeptics said there was no pool called Bethesda by the Sheep Gate of Jerusalem. However, excavations in the 1800’s found 2 pools, with a 5th portico between, as John said. Evidence of the pool being called Bethesda finally emerged ...read more

    Is "born again" ab outdated term?

    You Must Be Born Again John 3:1-17 The term “born again” seems to be well known. It is so well known that it has become timeworn. Celebrities like Bob Dylan went through a “born again” phase.
