    The Preciousness Of Death

    Contributed by Sonny Thomas, Sr. on May 1, 2002
    based on 328 ratings
     | 65,500 views

    Although difficult for us to cope with, the death of a saint is precious to God.

    "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." This seems like an odd verse. Why would death be precious to God? Wasn’t it the entrance of sin into the world that brought forth the curse of death? Certainly God abhors sin, and I would be willing to say that individuals ...read more

    That Little Room In My Mind Where I Keep The Cross

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021
     | 1,183 views

    There's a little place in my mind where I recall the cross. The wonderful cross of Jesus Christ, so eclipsed in this world, so half remembered, so easy to forget though so vital to remember.

    Many religious people - and even Christians - believe in some form of "karma". What's wrong with that? And why should we not accept that view of God?

    OPEN: This month we’re exploring “stupid things even Christians believe”, and this morning we’re going to be examining a theology that is seemingly common to every religion on earth. So many people, in so many religions, believe this particular theology because it seems to ...read more

    John 3:16 Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 23, 2024
     | 3,188 views

    When John wrote these words, Jews would have thought God would love only the righteous. But the Bible doesn’t say God loves good-looking people. The Bible doesn’t say God loves rich and successful people.

    Think with me about some of the most famous sayings in history. Martin Luther King Jr said famously, “I have a dream…” John Fitzgerald Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Perhaps there is no more famous sentence anywhere than John ...read more

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 10, 2020
     | 2,491 views

    Sometimes we cannot be cleared of accusations – at least immediately – before all onlookers; but we can take our case to God. David does just that.

    "Sampson: Sidelined By Sin" Pt 1 By Dr. Winson Butler

    Contributed by Winson Butler on Jul 28, 2004
    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,674 views

    A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn no other way! Sin is the same way. When it sidelines us we discover how it breaks our fellowship with God. We see this in the life of Sampson. Let’s study it together!

    Introduction "Out of bounds" That’s what every referee says when your foot crossses the little unforbidden white line.

    What Is Representative Substitution

    Contributed by Hylton Davidson on Oct 8, 2025
     | 98 views

    What is representative substitution? JI Packer refers to this in Chapter 8 in his book "Knowing God". Having a correct understanding of this is important.

    Representative substitution refers to the idea that Jesus Christ acted as a representative and substitute for humanity in His life, death, and resurrection—particularly in bearing the penalty for sin. Here’s a breakdown of the concept: 1. Substitutionary Atonement This is the core of ...read more

    Mary & Martha said that Lazarus was the one whom Jesus loved. But how could Jesus treat a friend like He did? Why would He callously stay away while this close friend died... and He could have prevented it?
