    It doesn't matter whether we finish first in this race, but it does matter that we "finish pretty." Do you know what that means and what it takes to "look good" when we cross the finish line?

    OPEN: I read the true story about a group of friends that wanted to take part in one of those big 26 mile marathons. They ran together for over a year preparing for the meet.

    Jesus Christ in the darkness of our suffering brings into it the light that we need so that we can move forward.

    I'm really grateful for God's word. I don't know what I would do without it. The Bible has so much information in it about who we are and who God is and God's plan for us that it becomes this really strategic place that we spend our time learning and studying. That's why we ...read more

    Does anybody know what the “S” in Harry S Truman stands for? NOTHING! It doesn't stand for anything. He was born with a middle initial… and that was it.

    The closer we get to the Lord, the easier it is to love all the different people around us. God wants us to be able to move forward with unity, even though we have diversity.

    I smile, as you probably do too, whenever you see that science confirms something we already know in the Bible. Right?

    Contributed by Tony Miano on Apr 29, 2001
    based on 94 ratings
     | 5,322 views

    One way to organize this passage is to divide it into three primary sections. First we see James deal with the pride of speech (vv. 1-2a). Second he deals with the power of speech (vv. 2b-5a). Lastly, he deals with the perversion of speech (vv. 5b-12).

    Luke 4:31-41 - What Authority Really Looks Like

    Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 12, 2024
     | 1,243 views

    The authority of Jesus teaching caused the demons to reveal themselves in protest. The authority of Jesus' command causes sickness to immediately cease. How does that same authority operate in the lives of believers today?

    Today we're going to deal with two topics that can be somewhat controversial within the church: the demonic and healing. We're going to dive into the Word of God, lay some proper foundation today, and let's pray first because that's where we need to go. Father, we come before You. ...read more
