    Make Us A King To Judge Us

    Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011
     | 5,597 views

    There is a very popular saying that states, “those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it,” and this is the theme that we will explore today. Today we are going to learn a very valuable lesson from a terrible decision.

    As I have said on numerous occasions, no one is perfect. The truth is that all of us make mistakes, and are guilty of making decisions based on impulse. In other words, we allow ourselves to be led by our feelings, and the worst part is that we allow ourselves to be led by the things of this ...read more

     | 39,214 views

    As we look at these two passages of Scripture this morning, I think we are going to discover three important facts about the work that we do.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK I think Labor Day is a kind of strange holiday. And it's difficult for a preacher to know what to preach on Labor Day Sunday. It's not one of the major holidays. Relatives don't come. There is no turkey to eat or presents to ...read more

    Christ who is the ultimate honorable, just, pure, and lovely truth worthy of praise will take our anxieties and fill us with what is honorable, just, pure, and lovely.

    It’s Christmas time again, in a little over the week we will be celebrating Jesus’s birthday.

    Christ: Our Saviour And Our Example

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 5, 2012
     | 6,243 views

    A short talk for Good Friday. I am deeply challenged by Peter reminding us that when suffering for his faith, Jesus did not retaliate and made no threats; and we’re called to follow his example!

    When I was at school there was no such thing as an anti-bullying policy, and I think I was on the receiving end of a large amount of abuse, mainly due to my surname, Pidgeon, and my painfully thin physique. As I look back I think I eventually adopted my own personal anti-bullying policy and it went ...read more

    The parable of the Ten Minas is a wonderful lesson for Christians and how to take advantage of opportunities to serve the Master, the resources He has given us and how we will be judged by our management of these gifts.
