    The human mind is self-rationalizing and self-deceptive. Without a guide, we have no idea what is right and good. God's Word offers that guide but it's more than just reading a guidebook and determining to do better. We need to come to grips with the brok

    Today we are going look at just three verses. Normally these verses might be couched in terms of “this is really bad stuff—this is sin—don’t do it!” While that is true, I want to handle these verses a little differently. Firstly, remember that these words are written ...read more

    How To Look At The Lord's Supper

    Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jan 18, 2019
     | 6,576 views

    Paul, in I Corinthians 10:23-34, reminds us that if we would eat and drink this Supper to our benefit, we must be looking in four directions. In communion, we must be looking back, looking ahead, looking within and looking around.

    Something special is about to happen this morning. Something miraculous. Paul in chapter 10 of this same letter calls it a "participation in the body and blood of Jesus Christ." We know it as communion. As we take a piece of bread and cup of juice, we will be participating in a mystery. ...read more

    Many times when we look at the portion of Mark 14 involving the arrest and trial of Jesus we focus on Judas - the betrayer. But Mark shows us that many more than Judas betrayed Jesus that night, and it shows us how short we fall and how great our Savior r

    Beginning in Mark 14:43 we shift from Jesus being the source of the action to Him being acted upon by others. He becomes very passive except at a few key moments, on His way to the cross. In a way, what we see in this portion of Mark 14 is the failure of mankind. In several key ways, man abandons ...read more

    To reign victorious in the kingdom of God is to understand the dynamics of this spiritual warfare that is before us.

    In a football game, you are on one side or the other, not both. You do not play on one side in the first quarter and then switch sides for the next quarter. Your side is well defined. Also, when playing football, you are playing football. What if one team was playing football and the other team was ...read more

    Until Jesus returns and ushers in the eternal heaven, what is life like for God's children who are in heaven now?

    We have made note of the fact that God isn’t through with heaven. When a child of God dies, they pass into the immediate presence of our Lord and do go to heaven. But the heaven they go to is an intermediate heaven. Upon the return of our Lord, He will establish a new heaven and a new earth - ...read more

    Desperate Cry For Revival Series

     | 5,897 views

    We must understand that our nation is on the verge of birth pangs and there is a desperate cry for revival in the body of Christ. Numerous obstacles do not create a conducive atmosphere for it to birth, so what do we do as a church about it?

    Introduction: Keeping a close watch on the spiritual climate of our nation I urge you to join me and other believers across the nation for praying and fasting for the body of Christ in the USA. Never in my 24 years of ministry and 35 years of knowing Christ personally have I known a time of such ...read more

    Turning To God For Help

    Life is filled with troubles, and often it seems the best thing to do is just to ignore them. But, if we realized how serious and close to home some of our troubles really are, we would take action.

    Turning to God for help: On March 9th of 1994, a German tourist checked into a hotel near Miami International Airport. That night in his room he noticed a foul odor. But, travelers must put up with all sorts of discomforts, he thought, so he slept in the bed that night without a complaint to the ...read more

    I believe the best way to communicate is meeting face to face. Yet we try to substitute this most ancient and proven way with technology and social Media and have become terribly disconnected as a result.

    A face-to-face request is 34 times more successful than an email In research Mahdi Roghanizad of Western University and I conducted, recently published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, we have found that people tend to overestimate the power of their persuasiveness via text-based ...read more

    Our Marathon ends only at our death. Till then we need to run without hesitance and fear. We will face all kinds of encumbrances in life but throw off the run with the same pace and win the race.
