    When we think about the Ninevites we generally think of two things:

    (1) First we think of Jonah, who was swallowed by a large fish because he refused to obey the Lord’s command to go preach to them. (2) Secondly we think of their ranking with the most wicked people who ever lived on earth. Illus: Once the Ninevites would capture a town they committed ...read more

    Autocorrecting God

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jun 9, 2024
     | 850 views

    If you find yourself thinking that "maybe" the Bible is not correct in some of the things it teaches us as Christians then you need to read this message as you might find yourself in a position where you are correcting God about something He has commanded.

    Autocorrecting God Scripture: Genesis 3:1-6; Genesis 5:1-3; Proverbs 14:12 Good morning, Strangers Rest!

    The Way Up Is Down: Serve One Another Series

    Contributed by Dan Raymond on Mar 7, 2016
     | 11,704 views

    However, for many people, serving doesn't conjure up a positive image. Instead, they think of endless menial chores, cleaning up other people's messes, and catering to their vain whims. Yet the New Testament calls us to become servants of one another.

    What do you think of when you hear the word serve? No, I don't mean the opening hit of the racket in a tennis match. I'm not even talking about your waiter or waitress at Shiela’s. I mean what does a servant look like? What picture comes to mind? It's possible that you have a positive image. ...read more

    Man thinks of worldly riches but God thinks of heavenly riches.

    Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me” (v. 13).

    Now the question – was Mary really Jesus’ wife and mother of Sarah, the child Jesus supposedly fathered to establish a royal bloodline to rule the earth?

    Many women were also there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee and had provided for him. Matthew 27:55 (NRSVA) The DaVinci Code movie will be released this week. The fact that it coincides with Mother’s Day does not surprise me. Part of the conspiracy theory of ...read more
