     | 1,870 views

    When human mind and brain fail THEN we need to put our trust in God who raised the dead.

    Beyond our strength 2 Cor 1:8” For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life; 9 indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust ...read more

  • The Victory Of The Crucified King

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 25, 2022
     | 1,246 views

    Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), the assassination of President Kennedy (November 22, 1963), and the terrorist act upon America (September 11, 2001) are all considered "infamous" days. The true "day of infamy" was 2000 years ago, when we attempted to kill God Incarnate.

    The central theme of the Gospel is that the Lord Jesus was placed upon the cross for the redemption of our sins. It was an act of mercy, love, grace, and salvation that we did not deserve (Romans 5:6-11). It was also the day that rebellious humanity shook its fist at God Almighty, and the ...read more

    Richard Francis Xavier Manning, known as Brennan Manning an American author once remarked: “What makes authentic disciples is not visions, ecstasies, biblical mastery of chapter and verse, or spectacular success in the ministry, but a capacity for faithfulness. Buffeted by the fickle winds of ...read more

  • Fifth Sunday Of Lent, Year B--I Tried But It Died: Grain Of Wheat

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 15, 2024
     | 1,244 views

    A Christian is obliged to let go, to put himself into hands that are not his own of letting oneself go into the hands of God.

    Wheat is associated with being sewn in the ground, buried, geminating and then springing up for bread to feed multitudes. These are all symbols of Christ’s passion, death, resurrection, and communion with his Body, the Church with Jesus, saved in his Sacrifice at Calvary. The seed has to be buried ...read more

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Sep 6, 2003
    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,031 views

    Abram’s faith and selflessness in dealing with Lot is an example to us when it comes to giving to God. This was Self-Denial Sunday for an offering given to missions.

    The Gift of Giving Up – Genesis 13:1-18 In August 1994, a Korean air jet skidded across a rain-soaked runway and rammed into a safety barricade in Cheju, Korea.

  • How Should We Relate To Carnal Christians?

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 23, 2004
    based on 20 ratings
     | 2,499 views

    Remember, the source of most quarrels begins within one’s own desires. James writes, "You quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask. When you ask, you do not receive because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on yo

    Galatians 5:17-5:21 What are some of the best ways to relate to carnal Christians? Illustration: Where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? —1 Corinthians 3:3 Why do we hear of Christians who are pitted against Christians over such ...read more

  • Transfiguration

    Contributed by James Jerpseth on Mar 1, 2001
    based on 69 ratings
     | 9,230 views

    The word Transfiguration is another way to say transformed. We too have been transformed by the power of hte resurrection and hte love of Jesus.

    One of my favorite parts of confirmation is the day we spend in the Church going over the special vocabulary that we have in the Church world. It is a funny thing that we have a different "Churchy" name for everything that we would otherwise call by its normal or non-churchy name. For example, ...read more

  • Can I Be Honest To God?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 6, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,115 views

    A look at the invitation (and the need) for us to be bold and honest in our talking with God.

    Is it ok to question God? - The presumption is usually that the answer is “no.” - Just sit down and shut up. Just take it. - When you hear people pray, a lot of the praying is very rote and formulaic. It’s pretty rare that you’ll hear someone really bearing their heart to God. It’s even ...read more

    Contributed by Jerry Shirley on Feb 28, 2007
    based on 60 ratings
     | 9,877 views

    The key to forgiving others is found in our own forgiveness. And the Bible also indicates a level of ’forgetting’ Christ can make us capable of. Link included to formatted text, audio, and PowerPoint Template.

  • How Does Legalism Get Us Off-Track Spiritually?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 6, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,986 views

    This message uses Saul’s poorly-conceived rule as an example of how our rules can create major problems.

    - This was a difficult passage to find the “interpretive key” for. How Legalism Starts: He made up a rule that made him feel better. - 1 Samuel 14:24. How Those Around Him Responded: They feared the rule, so they tried to live by it. - 1 Samuel 14:26-28. - v. 26 - There was honey that they ...read more

    Contributed by Dan Proctor on Jul 18, 2016
    based on 2 ratings
     | 15,708 views

    God’s desire is for us to be builders of people (our family, fellow church members, co-workers, spouse, and kids). How can we do this? Let’s look at the negative example of the Pharisees and turn it into some positive principles.

    How to Be a Builder (not a Bulldozer) Mark 7:1-23 Introduction: 1. At the time of Jesus’ ministry to Israel, the Pharisees and scribes were the religious leaders who knew about the true God, knew the Scriptures, and knew about the prophecies of a coming Christ. 2. They didn’t appear ...read more

  • What Happens When You Die? Series

    Contributed by Kevin Humphrey on Mar 13, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,339 views

    There will come a day when I will breathe my last and die. So will you. So, do you go immediately to heaven when you die? Will we recognize each other in heaven?

    Joke: A very wealthy man decided to prove the quote, "You can't take it with you", wrong. Before he died he requested that his gold be buried with him. Sure enough after his death he found himself in heaven along with his gold. He was so excited that he had actually taken it with him. He went up to ...read more
