Lying

Contributed by John Ong on Jun 17, 2015

Cistern Challenge

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 3, 2019

The only pit we are stuck in is the one we don't recognize the hand of God reaching towards us.

In many ways, much of life is set up like the challenge. We are given a problem in life and we have to solve it. However as Christians I would suggest we also have to look at the puzzle a little differently. How will this situation demonstrate faith to those around us? Let’s face it..Everyone has 3 ...read more

Jesus Went On Trial And Noone Stood Up To Defend Him. Will You Stand Up And Be Counted?

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Jul 30, 2024

The prophet Isaiah asked the question of the suffering servant “who of his generation protested”? And so we ask the same question “who protested at the time of Jesus' illegal trial and execution?” Of course, the answer to that was no one. No one stood up at the trial to support Jesus.

Imprisonment Created Opportunities To Spread The Gospel Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 2, 2018

The apostle faced opposition from those outside the church and misrepresentation from some within. But this did not dissuade or distract him from fulfilling God’s call. Through it all, Christ was being preached, which brought him great delight.

The Disciple Peter - Slip Leads To Slide - Part 3 Of 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 14, 2022

The Way

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 31, 2017

Tithing

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 2, 2004

I don’t believe for one minute that tithing buys God’s blessing. But I do believe that it opens a door – or better, a “window” – of release for God to bless continually and mightily.

TEXT: Malachi 3:6-12 TITLE: TITHING Let me begin by making three statements about tithing: 1. Tithe means “a tenth” – Genesis 28:22 – “And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will surely give a tenth to You.” The word tithe in the Hebrew ...read more

The Deceptive Power Of Compromise

Contributed by Don Baggett on Nov 10, 2007

When a Christian compromises his godly values and rationalizes that the ends justify the means, he opens the door to all kinds of trouble, not only in his own life, but in the lives of many others.

Compromise is not always bad. I heard one preacher say that he torn the word compromise out of his dictionary. I thought, “You must not be married!” However, if we compromise our godly values, we open the door for trouble in our lives. This is true because God loves us, and when we start in ...read more
