    The prodigal son came to himself and saw his mess. He felt like a "SERVANT" He felt that being a son was a matter of being WORTHY or not. He was wrong.

    The Word of God is powerful, and is a key element of change in our life if we will allow it to be.

    If there is one thing we desperately need in the Church today, it is for our people to be continuously transformed by God. We need to get into His Word until His Word gets into us! We need to see change in a lot of areas in this world. All of us recognize that need. But even areas in people and ...read more

    Sermon on the Mount #3

    As much as the thought of being "poor in spirit" is diametrically opposed to the conventional wisdom of today’s culture, so is the thought that happiness could, in any way, be connected with mourning. If there is one thing that the world tries to avoid it is mourning. Everything that the world ...read more

    Sermon on the Mount #4

    No doubt when Jesus spoke the words, "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth", more than a few eyebrows were raised by those who heard Him. His statement ran against the current mood of the religious leaders of the day. To their way of thinking, the only way to inherit the land was ...read more

    Lesson 6

    We live in a world where it is easy to become cold-hearted, insensitive, and unsympathetic. We are constantly being bombarded with news of some tragedy that has happened somewhere in the world. Hardly a day goes by that we don’t hear of, and see the results of, some violent act that has occurred. ...read more

    Lesson 7

    "Very solemn and searching is this sixth Beatitude, for it equally condemns most of that which now passes current for genuine religion in Christendom.

    Lesson 8

    With His statement "Blessed are the peacemakers" the Lord surely must have shocked those around Him. How could the Jews ever hope to overthrow the Roman government and restore themselves to a place of prominence if they were going to be a bunch of "peacemakers?" The Romans were not going to just ...read more

    Lesson 9

    The first seven Beatitudes illustrate the spiritual journey from the time a man realizes he’s lost to the time he begins to develop signs of Christlikeness. We saw first of all that it begins with being "poor in spirit." To be "poor in spirit" means to acknowledge our total spiritual poverty ...read more
