Students Of Christ

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 31, 2009

Christ's Desire

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 18, 2011

The Crowd Or The Christ

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on May 19, 2011

This message was inspired by Dr. David Platt's book, "Radical". This message centers around the question of Pilate, "What will you have me do with Jesus?"

The Crowd versus the Christ Matthew 27:22 * What words comes to your mind when you hear the term “Radical?” (I.E. drastic, thorough, sweeping, extreme, militant, fanatical, revolutionary, uncompromising) * What are you radical about? Every person in this room has something about which ...read more

The Seed Of Christ

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Dec 16, 2016

When God sows, He doesn’t sow with seeds that can spoil or decay. There’s a kind of seed God has sown into our lives that irrespective of your financial status, you can always sow this seed.

Introduction One of the very first biblical principles God introduced in His Word is the principle of sowing and reaping (Genesis 8:22). For you to sow and invariably reap, you must have a seed. You can’t plant if you don’t have a seed. Often times when we talk about sowing and ...read more

The Compassion Of Christ

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 18, 2015

When we come to a deserted place, God welcomes us with his healing grace and peace. He renews us and sends us out to share his gifts with the world. When we get tired, we come to God for rest and refreshment, and then the cycle continues.

Christ At The Center

Contributed by Patty Groot on Jul 31, 2025

In a world full of shifting values and unstable truths, we need an anchor. Colossians 1 gives us one: Jesus Christ is not just part of the story; He is the Author of the story. This early confession of faith shows us the truth about Jesus.

Paul doesn’t begin this passage with practical advice or even spiritual encouragement. He starts with awe—with a hymn, a bold declaration of who Jesus is. Before we get to what we should do, Paul reminds us of who Christ is. This passage, Colossians 1:15–20, is considered one of the earliest ...read more
