Step Nine - Not Saying I'm Sorry? Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 8, 2020

Step 9 is making direct amends except when to do so would injure those or others. It’s also the place the writers tell us of the promises come true when one earnestly works the steps of recovery.

I have been thinking about Step nine over the last few days. I really think the writers knew how much humility and courage it takes to do a 9th step amends and it’s the reason, they made sure the other steps of getting right with oneself and then God came before reconciling with others. Step 9 is ...read more

From Bethlehem To Golgotha: A Christmas Story In The Psalms Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 17, 2024

He actually became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus was abandoned for us. He was abandoned, so God would never abandon you. You may feel abandoned, but a genuine child of God is never truly abandoned.

To prepare our hearts and minds for Christmas, we are tracing the Old Testament predictions of the Messiah. These are often called the Messiah predictions. I invite you to turn in your Bibles to Psalm 22. Today, we continue a series entitled The Essence of Christmas, which just happens to be the ...read more

"the Coming End-Time Revival."

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Mar 21, 2024

Throughout history, great men have predicted a coming spiritual awakening. God's miraculous works will be so evident that even skeptics will be amazed, resulting in a widespread turning toward God and revealing what some call the working of the Holy Spirit as nothing more than worked-up flesh.

Funeral Service: Step-Up

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 5, 2022

“Had I given up in that season of the loss of my first wife, had I given up and thrown [away] [God’s] strength and just started to living into addictions and living into my feelings and going out and living how I wanted to, I would not be living in the promises that I’m living today.”

The spiritual step-up is increasing one’s faith and prayer life and service to God when a tragedy or trial hits you, like the death of a loved one. Admittedly, when life gets too heavy, it's hard to step up, so Jesus invites us to lighten our load so we can take a step in faith. And, Anna, ...read more

Jesus Stays On The Road To His Death

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Apr 4, 2021

Jesus didn’t sit on Death Row. Yet his life was always moving toward that certain and terrible end: He’d be killed on the cross. He knew this, because the Scriptures pointed to it. He knew this, and He predicted it himself more than once during his ministry.

In some prisons in America there is an area known as Death Row. It’s where those who have been sentenced to die go to wait for the time of their execution. Every day on Death Row is a day closer to death. So for a prisoner, after five or ten years, there might be only 30 days left. Then only 20. ...read more

Escaping The Routine Rut

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 31, 2018

Life is unpredictable yet for the most part many of us live our lives in a very predictable fashion. What can we do? The simple answer is change but we don't like that word; even if it's for the better. But change shouldn't be shunned; it can be embraced.

ESCAPING THE ROUTINE RUT As we head into the new year we might not be too excited. One reason is we anticipate that 2019 will not be too much different than 2018.

Devices Of The Devil Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 22, 2021

A foothold is often associated with rock climbing. And a foothold is where you identify a rock ledge that holds your weight and is large enough for your foot to push on it for leverage. Satan is looking for a moral foothold in your life.

The Bible says a Christian is a changed person. A Christian is someone who puts in work on his character after the Holy Spirit has entered into their lives.
