    Admire The Spectacular Humanity Of Jesus

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Sep 15, 2025
     | 196 views

    In what way that we can label the humanity of Jesus as extraordinary, phenomenal, impressive, stunning, breathtaking, or spectacular?

    “After saying these things, Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and testified, ’Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.’ The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table close to Jesus, ...read more

    25. When Faith Goes Quiet: David In Philistine Country Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Sep 23, 2025
     | 223 views

    There are moments in the Christian life when we stop listening to God and start listening to ourselves. Sometimes that inner voice is not a voice of faith but of fear. We call it “being realistic” or “practical,” but often it’s just fear baptizing itself as wisdom.

    Pharaoh’s Frogs Series

    When chaos floods our lives, God still reigns—turning confusion into calm as we trust Him to fight our battles.

    When the phone rings at midnight and all you hear is running water instead of a voice—that’s chaos. A friend told me once, “I woke up to the sound of my house drowning.” A pipe had burst under the sink. Water was gushing across the kitchen floor, soaking into the cabinets, pouring toward the ...read more

    Two Kings, Two Paths

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

    When Ego Rules

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 5, 2025
     | 248 views

    When ego rules, possibility collapses; when Christ reigns, humanity rises — sharing His life, not His throne, through divine power and grace.

    The Tower in the Heart “If God exists, then everything is possible.” That single conviction built the ark, parted the sea, and rolled the stone away. The moment a man or woman believes there is a living, limitless God, the boundaries of human reason start to melt like frost in sunlight. But ...read more

    A detailed series on each of the nine Fruit of the Spirit! Each characteristic listed is a sermon. However, I have combined the lesson into one packet.

    THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT INTRODUCTION It is imperative that we understand that the marks of true spirituality and the signs of maturity in Christian growth are found not in the gifts of the Spirit, rather they are found in producing the fruit of the Spirit. 1st Corinthians 13:1-2 – “If I speak in ...read more

     | 6,808 views

    People should consider singleness because of: 1) the Pressure of the system (vv. 25–27); 2) the Problems of the flesh (v. 28); 3) the Passing of the world (vv. 29–31); 4) the Preoccupations of marriage (32–35); 5) the Promises of betrothed (vv. 36–38) and 6) The Permanency of Marriage (vv. 39–40)

    Couples, Pt. 4

    THE LABOR OF LOVE (GENESIS 29:9-35) One of the best quotes on love I know of comes from Liz Carpenter. She said, “Love is a moment and a lifetime. It is looking at him across a room and feeling that if I don’t send the rest of my life with him, I’ll have missed the boat.” More than 66 percent of ...read more

    When one runs aground on the Faith, injuring others within the flock, the appropriate response is to hand such individuals over to Satan.

    “This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith, among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, ...read more
