    The Beatitudes become the building blocks for successful Kingdom living as believers.

    Is God bending, shaping, or polishing me right now? What’s my attitude: Am I thanking and praising God, or am I complaining about the process? Trials are intended not to provoke us but to prove us. See the present from the perspective of the future. Look

    Opening illustration: The Steinway piano has been preferred by keyboard masters such as Rachmaninoff, Horowitz, Cliburn, and Liszt—and for good reason.

    Studies In Revelation Chapter 7 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 12, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,244 views

    This is a study of chapter 7 in the book of Revelation. This is a controversial subject but takes a conservative approach to understanding the book.

    Note: I used many sources to study this book, one of my favorites is Revelation: God’s Word for the Biblically-Inept by Daymond Duck and some out of different study bibles. Title: Victory of the tribulation saints Text: Rev 7:1-7:17 What happened in chapter 6? What do you think would come ...read more

    The Commitment To Discipleship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 15, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,299 views

    Being a disciple of Christ requires a conscious, committed effort. We will never be effective disciples with a casual, unconcerned approach. It is a lifestyle we are called to commit ourselves unto.

    The Commitment to Discipleship Luke 9: 23-26 Let me begin by asking, how many Christians do you know? That is a difficult question isn’t it? Now it seems that everyone you talk to concerning the Lord has had some type of experience. Well, yes I’m a Christian; I was baptized and joined ...read more

    Something Completely Different

     | 739 views

    When God intervenes to bring life out of death, we have to let him do it his way.

    How many of you remember Monty Python? The British comedy group in - I think - the 70's which used to transition between their skits with “And now for something completely different....” And it always was pretty strange. Part of their appeal was that their humor was so totally off the wall, ...read more

    He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 13

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022
     | 2,355 views

    A concept in soul winning that you hear very little about that enables Christians to be successful soul winners involves their becoming like the Master Soul Winner - Jesus Christ!

    Everything about His marvelous life teaches us about soul winning. Illus: For example, when Jesus wanted to let the world know that He loved them, He did not yell from Heaven, "I love all of you! Come to Me, and I will save you" Now He could have done that, but He didn't. Notice ...read more

    Worry Warts Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,283 views

    If you really believe that God is in charge, and that He loves you and will meet your needs, then you can live in faith rather than in fear.

    Anxiety is no joke. Maybe that’s why there are so many jokes about it. Take the old Peanuts cartoon that shows Linus coming up to Charlie Brown, dragging his blan-ket as he observes, “You look kinda depressed.” “I worry about school a lot,” Charlie replies. Then he adds, “I worry about my worrying ...read more
