When he was invited to a party, he always arrived late. When the hostess greeted him, he explained his tardy arrival by saying, “I had to stop for a ...read more

    Before standing you have to do other things first. You have to be adequately prepared to overcome the schemes of the devil.

    “Having Done All to Stand…” Ephesians 6 Introduction: There are a lot of people who live by the philosophy of “Whatever will be will be” and think that whatever happens good or bad is God’s will. They say if you’re meant to have it you will have it and if you’re not, you won’t. If ...read more

    Conspiracy With A Coin Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 6, 2018
     | 8,040 views

    As Jesus continued within the Temple, He was confronted about the lawfulness of paying taxes. Those who opposed Him sought to find further accusation. In Jesus' response, we find wisdom for our lives - taxes, tithes, and submission.

    Conspiracy with a Coin Mark 12: 13-17 As we continue through Mark’s gospel, I want to offer a reminder of the volatile environment in which Jesus walked at this time. He is in the last few days prior to the crucifixion. Having entered Jerusalem triumphantly, He had returned twice since, entering ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 35,799 views

    DOES THIS MEAN THAT I CAN BELIEVE FOR OTHERS TO BE HEALED even if they don't have the faith? It seems to say this to me. Does it to you? But even more importantly is who I have faith in - JESUS, WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO HEAL.

    Matthew 8:5-13 WHEN MY BELIEF AND HIS AUTHORITY COLLIDE! The first person that Jesus heals as recorded in Matthew was an outcast - a person with leprosy and Jesus told him to keep it a secret. The second person is someone of low social status - a servant. These are people who are the forgotten ...read more

     | 2,560 views

    To guard against the encroaching effects of the sin in the world, we must truly learn about the nature of God so we can emulate Him.

    There are a couple of big questions on the minds of many people: Do I or don't I get the vaccination? And if I am going to get the vaccination, when? The question becomes more complex when a person is frail for one reason or another. Then there is the matter of believing in the science and the ...read more

    Plastic Faith

    based on 1 rating
     | 739 views

    Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

    An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more
