Milk & Stones Series

Contributed by Steven Buhr on Apr 7, 2009

I want to ask if you crave the Word of God? Do you have a deep desire to get into it, and when you do, do you have trouble putting it down? Do you get a kind of euphoric feeling when you read something that perhaps you have not read before?

1 Peter 2:1-12 – Milk & Stones Do you ever get a craving for something? I don’t mean something like, ‘oh, I’d like to have a cool glass of water right now,’ or ‘gee wouldn’t it be nice to eat a good steak tonight,’ or even ‘man I wish I was somewhere else right now.’ No, what I am asking is do ...read more

Worth Fighting For

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 19, 2010

All true believers have a responsibility to contend for the faith.

The writer of Psalm 11 presents us with a penetrating and probing question: "If the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do?"

Letter Of Intent

Contributed by Brian Mann on Nov 19, 2010

As a Christian; and see if you will agree with me on this, its so easy to get caught up in the work of the ministry or the “Call” so much so that we can become out of touch with the “Caller” We can become so focused and driven to build the “Church” that w

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Peace" Series

Worldly peace never lasts, only the inner peace from our Lord is forever.

Someone once said: “Peace is the brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.” Isn’t that true whether we’re talking about world peace or inner peace?

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Gentleness" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

Now we deal with gentleness, which is actually from the same root word as kindness, to be useful. However there are many more uses of the word in the Greek that have slightly different meaning like mildness, meekness, suitableness, and humility.

Begin by reading the Magnificat Luke 1 verses 46-49 and then Luke 2:13-19. I find that passage gives me a sense of the peacefulness and gentleness of the night of Christ’s birth. There’s no better display of gentleness in the Bible than Mary when she found out she was pregnant, and then gave ...read more
