The Greatest Education Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

To know Him and the power of His resurrection was Paul's ambition, and is the ambition of all who really want the greatest education. It is the greatest for it is more comprehensive than the best liberal arts education if one pursues it.

G. A. Studdert-Kennedy wrote a poem called "Faith," which has become very widely quoted. Let me share the whole of it with you. "How do I know that God is good? I don't. I gamble like a man. I bet my life Upon one side in life's great war. I must. I can't stand out. ...read more

Thou Art The Christ

Contributed by Marvin P. Hoogland on Aug 9, 2021

The deity of Christ has been often challenged, but is at the foundation of the Christian's confession

God and man? Can that be true? The man, Jesus, is God? Yes! This is the confession of the Christian Church. Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man in one person. The Church confesses that “Our only comfort in life and death” is not found simply in God. God the Almighty, the Omnipotent, ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (17 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In America alone, there are approximately four hundred sects and cults, and most ALL of them claim to base their doctrines on the Word of God. This is IMPOSSIBLE!

These cults make you think of all these translations, paraphrases and perversions of the Word of God that are on the market today. They all claim to be the Word of God, but they differ in their translations of the scriptures. So how can they all be the Word of God? Also, we cannot possibly believe ...read more

Be A Servant To All People Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Believers often get caught up in self-service instead of true service, being focused on seats of power. Jesus demonstrated a powerful act of servanthood that would stand as a reminder concerning genuine kingdom service.

There once arose a dispute among the disciples, as to which of them should be considered the greatest (Luke 22:24). Jesus told them, “He who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is ...read more

The Peace Of The Devil & The Peace Of God

What Makes Us One?

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 20, 2021

You can put a bunch of cats in a burlap bag and you'll have ONE bag full of cats, but you won't have unity. So what makes us one body? The answer is so obvious we sometimes miss it.

OPEN: Today is our “Unity Service”. We have 3 different languages represented: Burmese; Spanish and English. A lot of us look forward to this worship service because (despite the fact that we come from different backgrounds) we all really seem to like each other. I believe that this is the type of ...read more
