    Saul’s conversion was a time of transition for him. It was a time of seeing Jesus and becoming like Him. We can take advantage of our transitions too ...

    A new beginning Acts 9:1-22 When Jesus enters our lives, everything changes. Just ask Saul of Tarsus. He did such a complete turnaround that he was completely unrecognizable and baffling to everyone who knew him. Nether his old friends nor his old enemies could quite take in the ...read more

    Let Nehemiah Teach You How To Handle Criticism

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 13, 2006
    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,231 views

    If we are not mature enough for criticism we are too immature for praise. Adverse criticism from a wise man is more to be desired than the enthusiastic approval of the unwise.

    Let Nehemiah Teach You How to Handle Criticism "Do not mind criticism. If it is untrue, disgregard it. If it is unfair, do not allow it to get under your skin. If it is misinformed, refute it. If it is ignorant smile and be bigger than the critic. If it is justified, learn from it." "Adversity ...read more

    It’s important to understand, we too have an inner working of the Holy Spirit that provides us power to persevere against fears of persecution.

    Following At A Distance

    Contributed by Maria Saunders on Aug 29, 2013
     | 10,629 views

    Too many believers are solely a follower and not a disciple of Christ, they do not build and strengthen the church. Oh yes, they come to church but there participation in the works of the church is at a distance.

    Last week we learned that all believers of Jesus Christ are joined as one Body in Christ through the Spirit of God. We learned that each member is vital to the church and thus every member has a responsibility to the church in carrying out Jesus continuous work of redemption. As I read ...read more

    Rest Day

    Contributed by Donato Solano on Nov 11, 2006
     | 2,396 views

    The reason why too many of workers (even Christian) today are under stress and always feel that they need to perform more is because they do not rest with God.

    INTRODUCTION “Work, work and work until you drop dead.” I. GOD AS A WORKER RESTED ON THE SABBATH DAY, Exodus 20:11 A. Completed His works in six days Jesus said to the Pharisees in John 5:17 that God the Father is always at work. This means that His being a worker does not change. But on that ...read more

    Sometimes the bargain we are looking for are not always at a garage sale or holiday sale searching for material things. Sometimes we search for bargains in or spiritual life too.

    TITLE: BARGAIN HUNTERS SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 14:25-35 We live in a society that loves bargains. Everybody loves a bargain. It is a great feeling when you pay very little but you get a lot.

    Jesus Is The One Who Casts Evil Out

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 29, 2022
     | 985 views

    Job is able to put the words “good,” “afflicted,” “learning” and “law” together in one sentence. And we could add the word "joy," too.

    Saturday of the 26th week in course Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the OT, has the prayer of somebody in the midst of a crisis: “It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.” It may very well be a prayer of Job, whose life and response we have been studying over the ...read more

    A Living Faith - Good Works

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 5, 2023
     | 1,072 views

    Have the ancient churches got it right? Do too many Protestant churches teach a cheap grace? Is there a balance between easy believism and works salvation?

    Is faith a dead, intellectual belief without works or alive with good works of obedience to Christ? Martin Luther added the word alone to scripture as follows: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith [ALONE] apart from the deeds of the law. (Romans 3:28 NKJV) This then became a ...read more

    Christmas was only the beginning, just as Easter, too, was only a beginning. We’re simply not done yet. The final chapter hasn’t been written.

    ‘Tis the day after Christmas; now what do we do? Tomorrow it’s back to the rat race. What’s new? We’ll box up the manger and throw out the tree. And next year we’ll do it again. Wait and see! There’s some change, but mostly each year seems the same. How long has it been since the baby first ...read more

     | 1,605 views

    Too often we do not take Jesus seriously and "gamble" with his words. He really does mean what he says.

    1. If you keep up with the news, in the last few weeks you saw that our Governor has had a disagreement with the Indian Nations over their Gambling Compact. As a result there are now lawsuits flying. 2. Gambling is not a new issue – long-term practice: horse racing; car racing; ...read more

    When we focus too much on what happened in the past it becomes hard for us to see what God is doing in the present and is leading us in the future.

    When I was in the parish, preaching every Sunday, there was usually one of my parishioners that would always come up to me after service and express how that day’s particular sermon seemed like I was speaking directly to them; that the sermon on that given day was addressing something specific ...read more
