    The Sin Of Complaining/Grumbling Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jul 5, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,382 views

    Complaining is so common these days. People like to complain about everything. Did you realize that complaining is directed at God, who has control over our circumstances? That is why complaining can be a serious sin.

    Illustration: A man walked into a hardware store and asked for a chain saw advertised to cut six trees in an hour. He returned the next day, fussing and complaining, "This chainsaw is defective. It would only cut one tree, and it took ALL DAY!" The salesman said, "Let me look at ...read more

    The God Of Hope

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 12, 2022
     | 2,472 views

    Even though the English word “hope’ may have an element of uncertainty in it, the Greek word in the New Testament always speaks of a sure expectation of some good outcome or positive result. There is a certainty in the hope given in the biblical record.

    Alba 7-10-2022 THE GOD OF HOPE Romans 15:7-13 In one of Charles Shulz's Peanut’s cartoons, Lucy and Linus are sitting in front of the television set when Lucy says to Linus, “Go get me a glass of water.” Linus looks surprised, “Why should I do anything for you? You never do anything for me.” ...read more

    Hearing the voice of the Lord

    The word time is a word that is often taken for granted. We are all guilty of often wasting time. We are all guilty of not using our time wisely. In fact the old cliché says that, “Time waits on no man.” The American Heritage College Dictionary defines time as a nonspatial continuum in which ...read more

    Don’t Judge?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 18, 2021
     | 3,861 views

    The Bible says we're SUPPOSED to judge and that we're NOT supposed to judge. The key to the mystery has to do with people versus actions. We also have the responsibility to carry God's mail to the untaught.

    “DON’T JUDGE?” Mt. 7:1 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Missing the Target is the Goal 1. Patrick McSherry told about how his Navy Dad always bragged about the gunners on his ship. Once during target practice, an unmanned drone flew past an anti-aircraft cruiser. The cruiser opened up, shells furiously ...read more

    So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Look up, and be alert to what is happening around Christ—that’s where the action is.

    Happy New Year…maybe!

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 23, 2022
     | 4,497 views

    I want to wish each of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! But my wishing you a HAPPY NEW YEAR is not a gurantee that you will have one.

    What will guarantee you a HAPPY NEW YEAR is the things I want to share with you from God’s Word. Illus: For example, when President Bill Clinton was going through a sex scandal in the White House the pundits in Washington could not figure out how he could survive this scandal MENTALLY.

    Who was Melchizedek? And how does he relate to Jesus?

    I wonder if anyone can tell me what is the Old Testament passage most frequently quoted in the New Testament… You might think it’s something like Leviticus 19:18, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” If you’re really into the writings of the minor prophets, you might come up with an ...read more

     | 945 views

    Christ is a beacon for all to set their compass, and reference for their journey home. We can also be beacons of light. We receive the fire of the Holy Spirit, and because of that, we can be one of the guiding lights that helps shepherd God’s children home.

    Go Into the Light Do you remember the movie Poltergeist? It was about a house that was haunted with not just one ghost, but many, many of them because the greedy developer built the entire neighborhood over a cemetery. The 4’3” actress Zelda Rubinstein plays the eccentric medium hired to help ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,557 views

    God's forgiveness of us demands that we forgive others, because grace brings responsibility and obligation.

    Matthew 18:21-35 (NKJV) Forgiveness April 14, 2024 Forgiveness is the act of excusing or pardoning another in spite of his slights, shortcomings, and errors. As a theological term, forgiveness refers to God's pardon of the sins of human beings. Sin deserves divine punishment because it is a ...read more

    Jesus had been praying, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray." Was this prayer a template or a model?

    LORD TEACH US TO PRAY Jesus had been praying, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples” (Luke 11:1). His response was an abbreviated form of what is often referred to as “The Lord’s Prayer.” The fact that Jesus did not repeat it ...read more

     | 1,783 views

    Being a Christ follower requires having control of body, mind and spirit as we encounter the world as witnesses and co labors in bringing a little heaven to earth.

    A few weeks ago, we started a year-long journey chronological study of the New Testament today. Hence the reason we are calling this message series Chronos. It's a word that means “time.” We will be journeying through time back to the start of the early church. We will be doing this by walking ...read more

    We Are Living Epistles

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,209 views

    Paul said that our lives are written epistles, and that they are being read by the entire world. He said this in order to reveal just how much influence believers can have in impacting the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    This evening we are going to discuss the power of the written letter. Have you ever thought about how powerful writing is? For example, consider how writing is used by the news media to push certain political agendas and worldviews. There’s just something about the written (or printed) word that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,156 views

    Giving thanks in all circumstances, which means we give thanks when we are sick, facing severe family problems, and experiencing enormous life difficulties, is certainly not easy! But that is what the apostle Paul commanded us to do. Is it possible? How can we do that?

    Illus.: A father in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty years of misery is enough. "Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams. We can't live ...read more

    Suffering is part of the process of changing us into people fit for the kingdom of God.

    Everybody knows that Christians shouldn’t boast, right? Some people are so leery of boasting that they hide the gifts God has given them in the mistaken notion that God will be pleased with their humility. But that’s just as bad as seeking every opportunity to grab the limelight, because God can’t ...read more
