    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 27, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,923 views

    Around the world are demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and Hamas, and bitterness against Israel, even hate. This article looks at that, plus the inroads of socialism and the origin of Allah, and the Islamic mind. Also a small look at how we got into this situation.

    YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW – ISRAEL AND HAMAS – AND THE WIDER NATIONS [1]. SHAMEFUL GODLESS DEMONSTRATIONS This message will be a bit political but we have to thread through, and tread carefully that we don’t miss the Christian implications of these events. I did post on the Hamas subject earlier ...read more

    As the living Word, Jesus was with God in the beginning. He created all things and is the light of the world, and yet was not received warmly by those who should have welcomed Him with open arms. During this Christmas season, why don’t you receive the gre

    When the Infinite Became an Infant I thought it would be a good idea for us to take a “Christmas Quiz” this morning to see how well we know the facts about the first Christmas. 1. When Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem, how did they get there? a. They walked b. ...read more

    Today, it appears the Thanksgiving season is open season to make merchandise of the Gospel with the purpose of making money. To use the Thanksgiving season as an prelude to touching the Holy things of God with unholy hands is an insult to the Lord who has given us the blessings we enjoy

    The Pair Are Tempted Into Sin Series

    Up to this point, God’s voice is the only one we have heard; creating and commanding. Now another “voice” is heard, the voice of Satan, the deceiver. Eve was deceived when she ate, but Adam was not; he sinned with his eyes wide open.

    July 19, 2013 Commentary on the Book of Genesis By: Tom Lowe Lesson I.B.4: The Pair Are Tempted into Sin. Gen. 3.1-7 (KJV) 1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.

     | 4,156 views

    What is wisdom? Do we need it, or is God’s voice enough? Is the Holy Spirit a substitute for God knowledge, understanding, and wisdom? How can we understand God’s wisdom with our minds? Let’s explore!

    based on 34 ratings
     | 8,649 views

    There is no greater attractive force than love. Every person hungers to love and to be loved. The Holy Spirit pulls people to Jesus Christ with a powerful magnetic attraction that is superhuman and greater than any mind can comprehend.

    1. The Holy Spirit draws people to Jesus Christ with the power of love. Paul wrote, "The fruit of the Spirit is love." (Gal. 5:22) There is no greater attractive force than love.

     | 14,603 views

    In this coming year we hope to work well together as a church in the tasks to proclaim Christ and to worship Him. Before we can do so as a church, we as individuals need to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

    Introductory Considerations 1. One of most beautiful expressions of worship and praise is Handel’s Messiah - I love to hear good orchestra play this wonderful work and listen to choir sing the chorus. 2. Perhaps I am picturing an ideal situation in my mind, but I like to think of the church as an ...read more

    Maybe we think we have pulled the wool over God’s eyes, that God doesn’t see what we are doing, or know what is going on inside our hearts & minds.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. When you were a child did you ever have a special place, a secret place where you could go & be all alone? ILL. I heard a story once about a boy who did. On the back of their property was an old fruit tree. It had ...read more

    Whether good seed or bad, in season or out, to overcome problems, reach your destiny and potential, become fruitful, to be renewed in mind, body and spirit, we must follow God’s seedtime and harvest principle.

    We excuse ourselves from the great privilege, honor and duty of seeding into the Kingdom of God when we assign to others that which is clearly our responsibility. God founded the principle of seedtime and harvest: "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold ...read more

     | 8,035 views

    There is a lot of teaching about WHY Christ died in the Scripture. There is a fair amount of teaching about the Resurrection. But the burial of Christ occupies a lesser role. Even so, keep in mind that it is one third of the Gospel. Although the Bible

     | 6,734 views

    Christianity claims that salvation can only be found in Christ Jesus.This claim may sound extreme, radical, and narrow-minded. We must therefore be compelled to examine the truthfulness of this claim with honesty and without prejudice.

    Knowing Jesus Deeper INTRODUCTION: Christianity claims that salvation can only be found in Christ Jesus. The Apostle Peter declared in the hearing of the Jews saying, “And there is no salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we ...read more
