Like A Hand In A Glove

Contributed by Craig Cramblet on Sep 1, 2004

I read a devotional by Corrie ten Boom and it stirred my imagination. This is really a children’s message/object lesson but certainly could be expanded to challenge any group of believers to fully surrender to God’s work in their lives.

(For the object lesson, I found thin, inexpensive food service gloves in the church kitchen. If you want to expand the illustraion...the fragile, temporary nature of these gloves makes a point that a cotton or leather glove would not!) What is this? A glove. Actually, it is a specific kind of ...read more

People, Like Pennies

Contributed by Timothy Darling on Feb 2, 2007

Wealth in our lives is measured in many ways. Pennies are a small measure of money, but Benjamin Franklin would have told you that a penny saved is a penny earned. Friends in our lives are another kind of wealth that we may not value highly enough. Wherev

What Is Jesus Like

Contributed by Steven Chapman on Feb 6, 2007

What Is Jesus Like Mark 1:35-2:17 What was Jesus like? A very fair question. But how impossibly difficult to answer! One thing, though, is certain.

Coming Like A Child
