    To teach the importance of gratitude.

    Introduction: Nine out of ten lepers are ingrates. At least so it would seem, if we draw out statistics from this incident recorded only in Luke’s gospel. It is an occasion, which not only highlights the ingratitude of man, but the desire of gratitude from God. Every day of our lives we are the ...read more

    While God is the centre and the focus of the Kingdom of God, it remains a Kingdom of people. And not just regular, ordinary people, and not all people everywhere, but rather a very privileged, very select, very precious, very holy, very royal people.

    Being a mother can be a costly thing. But following the call of God to be a mother of the Savior can be a costly thing as well. As Christians, sometimes, we tend to sanitize the Christmas story. We think of it as a heartwarming story of a young mother giv

    A look at the difficult passages where Jesus calls us to "hate" our families. Why would He ask something like that?

    IT SOUNDS GOOD AND RIGHT: “Family first.” - “Family first” comes naturally for us because it’s so easy to love your family more than anything. - Sure, they aggravate us sometimes, but they are our deepest earthly relationships. When a family is as it should be, they ...read more

    The imminence of Christ's return has been taken to a point where certain Scriptures are now just ignored. Better to see imminence as a personal thing, which it truly is!

    6. WHAT MUST COME BEFORE CHRIST? From this point on, I am assuming that Paul spoke the truth when he gave the fact of II Thessalonians 2. And that Peter also spoke the truth when he told his people to look for Jesus, though many things were coming first. Assuming there is no secret rapture, since ...read more

    The Temptation Of Jesus - Part 2

    Contributed by James Snyder on Mar 11, 2013
     | 2,603 views

    Our temptations will never compromise our relationship with God, but will bring to the surface God's amazing grace for us in times of need. With every temptation comes a stream of God's amazing grace flowing in our direction.

    Everyone lives with the basic assumption that they will never be tempted. Even if they are, they won’t yield. “It won’t happen to me,” the arrogant boast. And yet, it always does. Nobody starts out intending to be an alcoholic or a drug addict. And, nobody can become an ...read more
