    based on 35 ratings
     | 5,948 views

    Helping people make decisions is at the very heart of evangelism. This made me wonder why nearly all of Christ’s evangelism endeavors varied to best suit the hearer’s decision-making processes? In each case Jesus took into consideration the patterns of th

    Jesus offers us more than the flash of the world.

    Better Bread John 6:25-35 “You are what you eat!” is the old slogan that we have been hearing for years. Many of the fast food chains are trying to become more “healthy choices” facilities.

     | 3,994 views

    Is there really evil in the world? Are we ready to resist evil?

    Some questions are hard to answer. And they should be hard. As a minister I stand before a bride and groom and ask, “Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forth, as long as you both shall live?” Then I ask the groom a similar question. There ...read more

     | 3,154 views

    Peacemakers are called the Sons of God because they have been given new hearts through the work of grace to reflect the peace of Christ to a hurting world, for those who bring the message of God’s peace to the world are "peacemakers," and Jesus calls them "The Children of God."

    There is something we say to console ourselves when someone dies. It is a phrase I have heard over and over. We say,“I know she is in a better place.” My friend, my parent, my spouse has passed away, but it feels good to think of one truth: “He is in a better place.” By that, of course, ...read more

     | 13,366 views

    Kids may disagree with their parents, but if we can teach them to trust us and obey, we help them set a pattern to listen and respond to the heavenly Father. Our complete obedience to the Lord allows Him to accomplish His purposes in and through us.

    What You Get When You Give

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 15, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,745 views

    What happens when you give of your time, talents, and money? Many ministries teach that you will receive a material blessing for material giving. I think they completely miss the mark. Paul, in this chapter, sets out a wonderful pattern of the true result

    Last time we talked about the motivation behind giving, and the process for how to give: it comes from the word “generosity” which means simplicity, sincerity, and singleness. We give who we are, and what we have, back to the Lord who owns it all, for Him to take our simple gifts given ...read more
