    This lesson suggests that Faith, Hope, and Love are the “fundamentals” or “basics” that we need to get back to when our lives are in a spiritual slump.

    Back to the Basics 07/31/05 AM Reading: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 INTRODUCTION 1. I suspect the problem is one akin to an athlete or a sport team which is "in a slump" a. Such a person or team "goes through the motions", but they are not performing up to their true potential b. The solution in sports: ...read more

    Why do christians get caught up in spiritual competition? It usually leads to hypocrisy and many times ends up even worse. Take a deeper look at this matter that is a revival stopper or a revival maker.

    The Plot that went to Rot Acts 5:1-11 1 ¶ Pero cierto hombre llamado Ananías, juntamente con Safira su mujer, vendió una posesión. (SRVA) 1 ¶ But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, (KJV) 2 Con el conocimiento de su mujer, sustrajo del precio; y llevando una ...read more

    Covenant 08

    Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Jan 6, 2008
     | 2,265 views

    We often get carried away thinking everything is all about us & our own personal Jesus, but the Holy Spirit wants us to understand that we do not exist in isolation. Just as when we get to heaven we will be part of a huge family, there is a corporate side

    Promises are made to be broken. That’s what it seems like in the world isn’t it? It’s what seems to be going on in scripture too. A Covenant is of course just a promise, like in the covenant of marriage, & it can be between human beings alone or God & human beings. A very important part of a ...read more

    A Butler, A Baker, A Jailhouse Breaker

     | 9,065 views

    Joseph is Imprisoned but God provides a "means of escape" through the Butler; Be mindful, for there is also a Baker in the prison. He cannot help because his outcome is death. Some people around us are only clutter.

    The answer to the violence is exactly to do as Jesus did.

    The Sixth Sunday of Easter 2015 The early Church was not exactly the love-fest that some would like to imagine. First, the Jewish and Roman authorities were, at the least, suspicious of this new Jewish sect where people–especially the poor and marginalized–were being healed and ...read more

     | 6,432 views

    We should humbly appreciate that we were snatched out of the fire and put in the spiritual limelight by God’s grace. Let us appreciate and glory in being part of God’s church!

    God’s Seeming Detour (Isaiah 65:1-16) 1. Suppose you loved covered bridges & planned a vacation around them. 2. God had your interest at heart; the main road was blocked by a detour sign.

    Behold The King: The Cross Before The Crown

     | 6,606 views

    God’s desired will — with omissions and out of sequence — is no longer God’s will. The cross could not be bypassed. Jesus had to wear the crown of thorns before He could wear the crown of the Kingdom.

    Behold The King: The Cross Before the Crown (Various Portions of the Gospels) 1. One blogger writes, “Today, I was waiting at the bus stop and noticed a girl that I played netball with. I ran across the road to meet her and she ran across the car park to meet me. We hugged and looked at each other ...read more
