What The World Hates...

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Nov 12, 2023

I always try to make the distinction between what the Bible calls a church, and what we think a church is…the Bible speaks of the church as the collected body of true believers in Christ Jesus, while we think the church is a building like this and all the people contained within it. This I say so ...read more

The Blame Game

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 9, 2023

Excuses and forgiveness are opposites. What can be excused does not need to be forgiven.

No Room At The Inn

Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000

The inn was to full for Christ to come in. Throughout Scripture we see that there is no room for God. Is there room in your home, your life and your heart for Him?

Introductory Considerations 1. It is a scene that is unmistakable. This scene is so identified with the birth of our Lord, that is has been banned from display in public places because it might offend those who do not believe it ever happened. 2.

The Problems With Playing God Series

Contributed by Tim George on Sep 17, 2001

This passage deals with how pride tends to cause us to play God and the problems that go along with that.

What's He Like? Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 15, 2006

Have you seen Jesus lately? Mark’s amazing witness reveals a complex Messiah. Jesus in our world is both comforting and disturbing.

Read or quote Mark 6. It is tempting in this study to jump to Matthew and Luke for a broader perspective on these events recorded in Mark.

Be Ready When God Comes Calling Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 23, 2005

Joseph languished in prison for two years after he thought he had a chance to get out. But when Pharaoh came calling suddenly he was ready to serve. So how do we keep "at the ready" when God comes to ask us to serve unexpectedly?

After it looked like God was making a way for him to get out of prison – the days were followed by weeks which were followed by months and years – and nothing. You’d think God had given ...read more
