  • What Is Our Part?

    Contributed by David Nolte on Jan 20, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,006 views

    Sometimes we presume to play God's part and forget about our part.

    Things are not always as we want them to be. Disappointments, disasters, distresses, diseases, dilemmas, discouragement and depression destroy our dreams and desires. Problems seem to be the norm and solutions seem inadequate. Our need is urgent, and we see no light at the end of the tunnel. ...read more

  • The Call To Discipleship Part 1: Not For The Faint-Hearted Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 9, 2021
     | 3,541 views

    No where in Scripture does it say that being a disciple of Jesus will be easy. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    In this sin sick world we live in, the prevailing attitude is “What’s in it for me?” Even in the church, people choose their church as to what will benefit me the most. Where can I get my needs met. Rarely do you hear of people who feel called to a church because of what they can contribute vice ...read more

  • A Painful Account.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,899 views

    The substitutionary character of the sacrifice of Jesus.

    A PAINFUL ACCOUNT. Isaiah 53:4-12. The repulsion evoked by the Cross of Jesus is countered by the recognition of the substitutionary character of His sacrifice (Isaiah 53:4). We may have seen Jesus as One “stricken” by God – but the toll which He was paying was not His own. No, indeed, it was ...read more

  • Simon Of Cyrene Helps Jesus Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 16, 2022
     | 1,965 views

    We don’t know if Simon complained all the way to Golgotha, or recognized Jesus and was glad he had helped, but his name--unlike most of those minor players in the Gospel drama-- has come to us.

    Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus (Those of us who have had the privilege and honor of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land always make Jerusalem part of the holy time. There, although the Jewish Temple has been replaced by a grand mosque, we can see the very places we read about in the New Testament, the ...read more

  • And It Was Night

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 30, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,041 views

    Metaphorically speaking, the clock is ticking away in the background. The countdown has begun. Gethsemane lies ahead: as does our Lord’s betrayal, trial and death.

    AND IT WAS NIGHT. John 13:21-32. As the Lord’s ‘hour’ drew near that He should depart out of this world, He turned His attention more and more to ‘His own’ (John 13:1). After the foot-washing and the teaching which immediately followed it, Jesus “was troubled in spirit” (John 13:21). ...read more

  • Jesus Falls, Part I Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 13, 2022
     | 1,978 views

    Jesus was taking on his shoulder a social rejection that had to be just as troubling as the feel of the cross.

    Jesus Falls the First Time (Those of us who have had the privilege and honor of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land always make Jerusalem part of the holy time. There, although the Jewish Temple has been replaced by a grand mosque, we can see the very places we read about in the New Testament, the ...read more

  • The Cost To Serve Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 8, 2019
     | 8,136 views

    Jesus had revealed much about the difficulty and opposition the disciples would face as they sought to serve Him. Finally, He revealed their service would also require personal sacrifice - it would come at a cost.

    The Cost to Serve Matthew 10: 34-39 Jesus had revealed much to the disciples regarding what they could expect as they answered the call to proclaim the Good News. He warned that the task would not be easy, many would reject them, and they would face opposition along the way. However, in the midst ...read more

  • Paradise

    Contributed by Alvan Lewis on Apr 15, 2019
     | 6,162 views

    What happens right after we die? The answer lies in something Jesus said from the Cross.

    Paradise Luke 23:32-43 Most of us don’t know when death will sweep us away. Only once in my ministry did I know a person who knew the year of his death. Fred came to me in January 2008 and told me he was going to die that year. I was taken back because he seemed to be in great health, he was sane, ...read more

  • My Hour Has Not Yet Come: An Exposition Of John 2:1-12

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jan 1, 2019
     | 11,859 views

    Why does Jesus answer Mary so?

    My Hour Has not Yet Come: An Exposition of John 2:1-12. On the surface, this passage is a cute story which demonstrates the compassion Mary and Jesus had on a bridegroom and his family when they ran out of wine at a wedding feast. When it is preached this way, emphasis is placed upon Mary’s ...read more

  • Two Spiritual Mindsets

    The growth mindset, by contrast, believes that there is no limit to our ability to learn, grow and change for the better.

    Thursday after Ash Wednesday 2018 Reformation/Revolution Now what? We have received our ashes, symbol of our turning back or turning more faithfully to God. We have begun our Lenten journey, forty days and a triduum toward the destination of Christ’s Resurrection. What do we do now? Our study for ...read more

  • Christ Is Risen!

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 30, 2024
     | 892 views

    Verse 34 gives us the good news of our salvation as simply as it can be stated. Each part of that verse outlines the means by which we can be saved from the penalty of our sins.

    Alba 3-31-24 CHRIST IS RISEN Romans 8:34 A story was told about a Biology I test in which the students were asked: "Suppose you could take to Mars any of the laboratory equipment used in this course. How would you determine if there was life on Mars?" One student responded: "Ask ...read more

  • Jesus' Crucifixion (Matthew 27b)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 14, 2024
     | 481 views

    Let's examine the events of Jesus' crucifixion in Matthew 27.

    What did they do as they crucified Jesus? Let’s look at Matthew 27:34-66. The soldiers gave Jesus wine mixed with bitter gall, but when he had tasted it, he refused to drink it. After they had nailed him to the cross, the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice. Then they sat around and ...read more

  • The Suffering Servant Of The Lord Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Apr 14, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,758 views

    You can’t really appreciate the cross if you don’t know how bad you are every day, how guilty. The cross doesn’t mean anything if you’re a good person, comfortable and at ease with yourself. Do you know how much you need the work of Christ?

    Imagine what it was like for the Ethiopian man in Acts 8. He’s traveling south through the countryside, having just been to Jerusalem to worship. He’s a foreigner, but he’s devoted to the Israelite faith—for he knows it is God’s truth! Now on his way home, the LORD is still very much on his mind. ...read more

    This is dedicated to the memory of all those military personnel who died while serving in the US Armed Forces. It is so easy to just relax and enjoy “another holiday” without taking time to reflect upon the significance of the day itself.

  • God's Minister – The Government?

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 28, 2022
     | 2,165 views

    God has chosen to bless mankind and provide for our protection and safety by instituting human government. God is the one who established government. And do you notice a continuing phrase mentioned in these verses? What is it? (Government is God's minister).

    Alba 5-29-2022 GOD'S MINISTERS – THE GOVERNMENT? Romans 13:1-7 A teenager once wrote this letter to Ann Landers: “I am a 15 year old and my biggest problem is my mother.
