How To Experience The "blessed" Life Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Aug 10, 2023

The word "blessed" is a popular word these days. What does that mean? The word is used 67 times in the Bible- that's a lot of Biblical real estate isn't it? But do we know what it really means to "be blessed?" Jacob will show us.

A few years ago, I got on an elevator at a children’s museum in Indianapolis and as I crowded into the elevator, I noticed that the reason why it was crowded was because the lady that was on the elevator had brought her 18 grandkids to the museum that day. As I sardined into the elevator, I ...read more

The Greater Righteousness - Matthew 5:20-21 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 3, 2024

How can Jesus say anger is equivalent to murder? Killing a human being has such greater consequences and is so much more extreme. This message will show how the two sins have the same DNA and will expose how even our best efforts to obey God’s Word can degenerate into legalism.

Matthew 5:19-26 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness ...read more

Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 3 - The "day/Age" Theory

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 24, 2023

Another theory of the creation of the universe in opposition to the record given in Genesis 1 is the "Day/Age" Theory, and like the previous two we looked at, has neither the science or Scriptural foundation to verify its claim.

We have looked at two of four "theories of creation" used to explain our origins apart from what is clearly and unapologetically presented in the first chapter of Genesis. The first theory is known as "theistic evolution", which teaches that God used evolution as part of the ...read more

God In Man's Image

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

Most people need a concept of God that can be embodied in some kind of a mental image. This is why the Bible is filled with what is called anthropomorphism. That is a big word that simply means the picturing of God in the form of a man, and with characteristics of a man.

A young boy afraid of the dark called for his mother to come upstairs to his bedroom to be with him. She came and sought to comfort him by telling him God was there with him, and so he didn't have to be afraid. He was all right for a while, but then he called her again. When she came up ...read more

The Lord Whose Name Is Jealous Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 21, 2022

The way this name of God is used here is unique and only as part of the ten commandments or in the giving of the ten commandments. You could sum up the name of the Lord, Jealous as: it is his nature to give and expect us to obey the first two of the ten commandments.

The Lord Whose Name is Jealous Exodus 34:14 God is without sin. He is perfectly Holy. He is perfectly righteous. There is an exclusivity of worship God desires from his people. There are two of his names that reflect these aspects of his character. The Lord is our Holiness. The Lord is our ...read more

Obedience Over Sacrifice

Contributed by Greg Johnson on May 6, 2007

Why is obedience more important to God than sacrifice? Obedience is more important than sacrifice because we can sacrifice without loving God, but we obey God because we love Him. Jesus said (John 14:15 NIV) "If you love me, you will obey what I comman

Obedience over Sacrifice By Greg Johnson May 6, 2007 http://www.LovingGodFellowship.org One of King Saul’s major flaws was that he tried to spiritualize his disobedience to God and His Word.

God Wants You To Know!

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Nov 21, 2018

While many poeple may feel uncertain of what will happen to them when their life comes to an end, God wants us to know exactly what to expect. These words from 1 Thessalonians bring confidence and comfort to the Christian in the face of death.

“I don’t know.” Those can be some of the most difficult words for us to say. To say, “I don’t know” is to admit that we don’t have all the answers. And we like to have answers because it makes us feel more in control, more secure, more prepared. That’s probably one of the reasons that doctors ...read more

How Do You Receive The Word Part 2 Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 5, 2008

The philosophers of Paul’s day are not really that much different from what we see in the world around us in a post-Christian society. How Paul addressed them can help us in dealing with people who collect thoughts like Matchbox cars.

What did you collect as a child? I collected a number of things, pennies, model trains, marbles, and Matchbox® cars. I would wait anxiously until my mother would drive me down to the toy store so I could drool over the latest and greatest tiny little car or truck. I used to show off my more ...read more
