    Halloween: Is Evil A Red Herring?

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 19, 2021
     | 3,026 views

    The roots of Halloween have to do with pagan rituals but today, it’s more a night to celebrate. Not everything connected with the modern celebration is all fun and games. Any believer who is sensitive to the Holy Spirit will pull back on a number of elements associated with this celebration.

    According to the National Retail Federation, Americans will spend a projected $8.8 billion dollars on the holiday called Halloween in 2019. Almost 30 million will dress up and the average person will spend over $86 to celebrate. In fact, I have a neighbor who decorates more for Halloween than any ...read more

    Mother Of The Year - A Canaanite Woman

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 17, 2018
     | 9,747 views

    In this passage we see a gentile woman from a pagan land showing the humility and faith that is honored by the Lord. And at the same time we see Jesus closest disciples showing dishonor to the same woman. May we read and learn from this great passage.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

    The Bible tells us to seek advice. But not all advice is good advice. It pays to pay attention to whom you pay attention to. But how do I know the difference between good advice and bad?

    OPEN: In my files I have the following pieces of advice that you may want to consider: · Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. · Never buy a car you can't push. · When everything's coming your way, you're probably in the wrong lane. · Find out what you don't do ...read more

    Paul generously expressed his gratitude for the gift which the Philippians had sent to him (v. 10). He knew that he had always been in their thoughts but circumstances had up till now given them no opportunity to show their appreciation of him.

    We Are His Offspring

     | 917 views

    God created mankind, and He gives us our being. Thus, we must not segregate on the basis of race or sex. Flowing from the knowledge of God's creation, and having given His Word, we discover that not all cultures are equal, though all people have opportunity to know God.

    “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and ...read more

    Matthew 2:1-12 Birth Of Jesus And The Star

    Let me say first of all that we don't believe that Dec.25th was the month or date that Jesus was born. December 25th became popular as the date for Christmas, not because Christ was born on that day, but because it was already popular in pagan religio

    All events around Ezra are not favorable. He is an exile in a pagan nation. But if there is one factor that works in his advantage, it is the hand of God. Let us examine how the very meaning of his name will works wonders for him. Ezra means help from God

    EZRA: FINDING HELP FROM THE HAND OF GOD Ezra 7:6-10 NASB In every aspect, all events around Ezra are not favorable. He is an exile in a pagan nation.

    Bethel: The Prophet Who Never Came Back Home

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 30, 2020
     | 4,454 views

    The prophet who cried out against Jeroboam's pagan altar in Bethel was on his way back home but stopped for a rest. Maybe he shouldn't have done this--he never made it back to his home alive.

    Preface In the Old Testament, sometimes the Lord gives us a look at the successes of His prophets, but sometimes we get another view. Some prophets were murdered. like Uriah, who fled to Egypt, but was brought back to Judah and executed (see Jeremiah 26:20-23). Other prophets were more or less ...read more

    Halloween has been a popular event in America. It is a time that many see as just a fun time to dress up, get candy and see people. Historically, Halloween has not always been so innocent and some of the practices have been derived from pagan worship.

    Trick or Treat 1 Corinthians 10:14-31 Slide Intro Well, we know that Fall has arrived as the days continue to get shorter and as the leaves fall from the trees and as the weather continues to change.

    Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 23, 2022
     | 3,288 views

    What's going on here? Paul preaches a message without using Scripture? He quotes from an inscription on a pagan shrine? No follow up for the new believers in Athens? We better take a closer look at Paul's Mars Hill sermon.

    The context of Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon When we look at Paul’s Mars Hill sermon given in Athens in Acts 17, he is well into his second missionary journey. His plans were changed early in the journey when the Holy Spirit kept him from preaching the word in Asia and then he received his Macedonian ...read more

     | 2,352 views

    A donkey in the hands of the Lord, is superior to a donkey of a man. Balaam was the real donkey. If it was not for an obedient donkey, Balaam would have died as a disobedient donkey, and the obedient donkey would have lived. Jude continues the message on false teachers

    I wonder how we would feel if we were standing in the shoes of those exiles, those ancient Jews? What do you think God would have told us to do, if we had been His people taken by force to live in a pagan society?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2015) ILL. In 597 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian army attacked Jerusalem.
