    Jesus only calls men to be among the 12 disciples? Why no women? IS HE A MALE CHAUVINIST? At first He sends them only to Israel? IS HE A RACIST? I don’t think so.

    Part 4 - Matthew 10:5-6 - "NO DOGS OR WOMEN ALLOWED." Some years ago in Whitsunday Baptist Church a few men got together and started a prayer meeting. We met every week on a MONDAY MORNING AT 6 AM at Wyn’s place. It was high up on the side of a mountainous hill that overlooked Proserpine and back ...read more

    The World Turned On Its Head

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 1, 2013
     | 2,071 views

    The world sees a phrase like "you are just, O Lord" and "sinlessness" and thinks they are a foreign tongue. But we need to turn the world on its head so they can see the need for forgiveness, and its availability.

    17th Sunday after Pentecost EF A reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians 4: I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love, 3 eager to ...read more

    In Gideon we see a truth about EXCUSES!! What is an excuse? It is A LIE WRAPPED UP IN AN EXPLANATION and you think because you have some explanation that makes the lie less ugly and more acceptable.

    GO, in the Strength YOU have Judges 6:11-14 It is really intriguing how God writes a sermon. This sermon comes out of a discussion I had with Shawn about why God blesses some churches and not others. But then, it also comes out of a book I read about Gideon. It started out as a sermon about one ...read more

    When we understand how Jesus’ teaching on faith is connected to the Old Testament texts from which they originate, we can set aside wrong thinking and embrace fuller, more accurate perspectives.

    What About Now? Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Nov 25, 2019
     | 2,706 views

    We can get so caught up in thinking about going to heaven that we forget to participate in the NOW. This lesson is intended to remind us that God is at work now, now just in the World to Come.

    1. I spent many years planning to “go to heaven and take many people with me.” a. As a result I have wasted a lot of time in the here and now. b. We have a “Both/And” Faith – it is BOTH about heaven AND about now. c. God is the Great “I AM” as well as the “I WAS” and the “I WILL BE”, all contained ...read more

    "The Comparison Trap" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 21, 2017
     | 5,577 views

    This passage is basically a biography, a spiritual biography of Paul’s life. I think it would begin with a statement like this----I am absolutely satisfied with Jesus but in no way am I satisfied with myself.

    THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS “The Comparison Trap” Philippians 3:12-4:1 One of my heroes in the NT is the apostle Paul. If anyone had the right to brag, it would be him.

    Remove The Roots Of Bitterness

    Contributed by Dennis King on Feb 25, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,254 views

    Most people think they are totally and unequivocally free of bitterness. However, that’s not necessarily the truth. You see, bitterness creeps in, slowly and is easier seen in other people rather than in yourself.

    Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, brawling, and slander, along with every form of malice. That statement comes from Ephesians 4, verse 31. The Greek word for bitterness is “Pikria” which translates to “Sticky.” No matter what has been done to you, how bad, how often, or who from, bitterness ...read more

    There are many reasons people are not drawn to our churches, some of them are good. Whatever we think about the church, it belongs to Jesus and we should go to help others as he commands and to help ourselves.
